The change agent of the future; curating knowledge and making connections
In this talk Helen will explore the skills and capabilities that change agents are likely to need in the future; for a world where the power of hierarchy is diminishing in the face of complexity and change is happening faster and becoming more disruptive. The key new competencies are the ability to connect people who are currently disconnected and to curate, rather than create, knowledge for change. She will describe the new breed of change leaders who are rewriting the rules and leading change from the future.
Helen Bevan is acknowledged globally for her expertise in large scale change and ability to translate it into practical action and deliver outcomes. She provides advice, guidance and training on transformational change to leaders of health and care systems across the world. In 2008, the 60th anniversary of the National Health Service, Helen was recognised as one of the 60 most influential people in the history of the NHS.

"It's time to rewrite the rules of change in healthcare" - a presentation that Helen Beven, Chief Transformation Officer with the Horizons group, NHS Improving Quality, made at Yale on 10 June 2014.
This is the summary of the talk:
As leaders of health and care, we are seeking to create change in a world where the power of hierarchy is diminishing and change is happening faster and becoming more disruptive. Many of the ways we have traditionally gone about improving health and care were designed in a different mindset for a different set of circumstances and increasingly, they won't work. This means a fundamental rethink about what organisational change means; who does it (many change agents, not just a few) where it happens (increasingly 'at the edge' of organisations and the skills and mindsets that change agents need. This also means embracing disruption and 'disruptors' in our health and care organisations so that innovation happens; no longer seeking to 'overcome resistance to change' but welcoming difference, diversity and dissent as core operating principles in our approach to change. The slides end with a call to action: join the movement of health and care leaders across the world who are rewriting the rules of change and leading change from the future for different results.
This is the presentation on “health and care radicals for large scale improvement” that Helen Bevan made at the University of Jönköping on 17th January 2014. The occasion was a mini-symposium on improvement science to celebrate Jönköping Academy’s first 5 years.

COVID-19 PCR tests remain a critical component of safe and responsible travel in 2024. They ensure compliance with international travel regulations, help detect and control the spread of new variants, protect vulnerable populations, and provide peace of mind. As we continue to navigate the complexities of global travel during the pandemic, PCR testing stands as a key measure to keep everyone safe and healthy. Whether you are planning a business trip, a family vacation, or an international adventure, incorporating PCR testing into your travel plans is a prudent and necessary step.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

Editor's Notes
Link belowhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23790147http://www.bbc.co.uk/learningzone/clips/martin-luther-king-i-have-a-dream-pt-1-2/1293.html
With the brooding statue of Abraham Lincoln peering down at him, King began by telling protesters that their presence in the symbolic shadow of the "great emancipator" offered proof of the marvellous new militancy sweeping the country. For too long, he complained, black Americans had been exiles in their own land, "crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination".
The whirlwinds of revolt would continue to shake the very foundations of the country: "And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as normal," King said. It would be fatal for the nation "to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro".
“He's good - he's damned good”
Kennedy on King
Wearied by the suffocating heat, the crowd's initial response was muted. The speech was not going well. "Tell 'em about the dream, Martin," shouted Mahalia Jackson, referring to a rhetorical riff that King had used several times before, but which had not made it into his prepared speech because aides insisted he needed fresh material. But King decided to cast aside his prepared notes, and launched extemporaneously into the refrain for which he will forever be remembered.
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed," he shouted, his out-stretched right arm reaching towards the sky. Soon he was hitting his rhythm, invigorated by the chants and cries of the crowd. "Dream on!" they shouted. "Dream on!"
With his voice thundering down the Mall, King imagined a future in which his children could "live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character". Then he reached his impassioned finale.
King asked the crowd to yell so it was heard the world over
Watching at the White House, the president was riveted. Like so many Americans, it was the first time he had heard the 34-year-old preacher deliver a speech in its entirety - the first time he had taken its measure, listened to its cadence. "He's good," Kennedy told one of his advisors. "He's damned good." The aide was struck, however, that the president seemed impressed more by the quality of King's performance rather than the power of his message.
Need some of the latest stats on The Edge to go here
