How evidence affects clinical practice in egyptWafaa Benjamin
Evidence based medicine is the gold standard for clinical care.
It implies the integration of best research evidence with clinical expertise and patient values.
There is still a wide gap between availability of evidence and its incorporation into routine practice in our country.
Barriers to implementation could be personal, social, institutional, financial and legal barriers.
True practice of evidence based care can only occur where evidence based decisions coincide with patients’ beliefs and clinicians’ preferences.
Continuing medical education programs should be set with integrating evidence based medicine teaching and learning within clinical training.
The importance of presence of local national guidelines which need to take into account variation in expertise, resources and patient preferences across our geographical and cultural contexts .
Customisation of a guideline to meet the local needs of a target patient population is critical to successful implementation.
Reducing stillbirth and early neonatal death, pop up uni, 11am, 3 september 2015NHS 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.

“Tu Decides” App and the Increase of Effective Contraceptive Use Among Adoles...YTH
Worldwide the use of mobile phones among young people is dramatically increasing. Even in remote places, young people are using their phones not only as a way of communication but also to look for information. Because of this, IPPF ‘s Member Association in Bolivia has worked with young people to develop a sexual and reproductive health app to complement its routine services. We have also developed and are evaluating a contraceptive intervention delivered through the app to increase use and acceptability of effective contraception among young people. This session will cover the youth-centered design of the app and service delivery aspects of the project, as well as the experience of collaborating with researchers to ensure robust evidence generation. This session will be of interest to those working in inclusive technology projects, researchers, health and public health providers and implementers working in adolescent health and sexual and reproductive health.

The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Choosing which conditions to
screen for
The challenge: there are thousands of conditions that
could be detected through whole genome sequencing
– but we may not want to look for all of them
The programme will only screen for a specific set of
conditions, genes, and variants
Principles and criteria for screening already exist –
we are taking a bespoke approach in the context of
a UK-based research programme
Four principles…

Overview
Principles
Principle A: there is strong evidence that the
genetic variant or variants cause the condition
and can be reliably detected
Principle B: a high proportion of individuals who
have the genetic variant or variant would be
expected to have symptoms that would have a
debilitating impact on quality of life if left
undiagnosed
Principle C: early or pre-symptomatic intervention
for the condition has been shown to lead to
substantially improved outcomes in children,
compared to intervention after the onset of
symptoms
Principle D: Conditions screened for are only
those for which the interventions are equitably
accessible for all

Aim: to only identify variants that have potential to reach pathogenic or likely pathogenic classification in the absence of clinical
features in the newborn.
14. Communicating results
14
Note: Why we are not saying
‘positive’ or ‘negative’
• Communicating ‘condition suspected’:
• Communicating ‘no conditions suspected’:
• ~1% of babies (~1000 expected)
• How: by phone from an NHS specialist, a few
weeks after birth
• Aim to arrange an appointment for the baby and
their families to be seen in an NHS specialist clinic
to have confirmatory testing and appropriate
further care
Communicating ‘sample failure / no results returned’:
• ~99% of babies
• How: by email/letter, a few months after birth
• Sent by Genomics England to parents, with a copy also
sent to the baby’s GP for their record
• Includes information about what to expect in the future as
a study participant
• How: by email/letter
• Sent by Genomics England to parents
• May occur if samples are not taken or the test could not
be completed

The locations of our study recruitment
NHS sites throughout England
Factors we’re considering when choosing sites:
Site opening will be in stages
• Birth volumes
• The diversity of people who use the hospital
• Maternity department performance
• Starting with 3-5 trusts
• Increasing up to 40 trusts

Regional approaches
Develop treatment and support pathways
Refer and coordinate 'condition suspected' results
(Regional Coordinators)
Identify senior leadership/champions
Raise awareness and engagement
Support communications and press enquiries
Support regional study initiation and delivery
Enable access to education and training
Genomic Medicine Service Alliances are regional structures,
and the study will provide dedicated funding to work with
them to:
