ePCS is an electronic Palliative Care Summary that allows doctors and nurses to record patient diagnoses, treatments, wishes, and care plans in one place. It is accessible to out-of-hours clinicians and aims to improve care for palliative patients by facilitating information sharing and anticipatory care planning. The document discusses how ePCS developed from existing tools, its benefits for patients and caregivers, and plans for its national rollout in Scotland.
Social movements improving emergency flow in acute hospitals - 11am, pop up u...NHS England
Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

Acute hospitals end of life care best practiceNHSRobBenson
Delivering reliable best practice in an acute hospital setting for patients whose recovery is uncertain. Including details of the AMBER care bundle. Presentation from Anita Hayes and colleagues from England's National End of Life Care Programme as part of the Department of Health's QIPP end of life care workstream seminar series at Healthcare Innovation Expo 2011
Point of Care Testing (POCT) refers to medical testing that is conducted outside of a laboratory setting, typically near or at the location of a patient. This can include testing in a physician's office, at home, in the field, or in a hospital room. POCT is usually performed using portable, handheld, or small benchtop devices. Here are some main features and advantages of POCT:
Convenience and Speed: Since POCT can be done at or near the patient's location, it eliminates the need to send samples to a lab and wait for the results. This can result in quicker diagnosis and treatment.
Immediate Decision Making: With instant results, healthcare providers can make immediate decisions about a patient's care, leading to improved patient outcomes.
Reduced Costs: While some POCT devices can be expensive, they may reduce overall healthcare costs by shortening hospital stays, reducing the number of follow-up visits, and preventing complications.
Simplicity: Many POCT devices are designed to be user-friendly, allowing non-laboratory personnel or even patients themselves to conduct tests.
Connectivity: Modern POCT devices often come with connectivity options, enabling the integration of test results into electronic health records.
Versatility: There's a wide range of tests available for POCT, from blood glucose testing to rapid strep tests and coagulation tests.
However, it's also important to note some challenges with POCT:
Quality Control: Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of POCT results can be challenging, especially if tests are being conducted by non-laboratory personnel.
Cost: Some advanced POCT devices can be costly, and there may be additional costs associated with training and quality control.
Regulation and Oversight: Because POCT is performed outside of the traditional lab setting, there can be challenges related to oversight, regulation, and ensuring that tests meet necessary standards.
In summary, while POCT offers many advantages in terms of speed and convenience, it's essential to ensure that tests are accurate, reliable, and meet necessary standards.
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) in India play a crucial role in the detection and management of various diseases, including infectious diseases like malaria, dengue, and more recently, COVID-19. Here's an overview of RDTs in India:
Importance in Disease Management: In a vast and diverse country like India, with varied healthcare infrastructure across its regions, RDTs provide a quick and effective way to diagnose diseases, especially in remote areas where sophisticated laboratory setups might not be available.
Malaria and Dengue Detection: RDTs for malaria (based on the detection of antigens produced by malaria parasites) and dengue (based on the detection of dengue NS1 antigen and anti-dengue antibodies) are widely used. They offer results in less than

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The maze of trees -by Michel Petroni see MAP Foundation Artist who painted his journey with Hodgkin’s disease. I'm confused. I'm lost as to which way to turn - who to turn to. Before, everything seemed so clear. Now, which way to turn, which path to follow? Help me, please somebody show me the way. I had an exhibition on then, called Into the light. It was designed as a celebration of my restoration to health - but in fact it marked my relapse. Was the light, into which I might be going, the great celestial light?
