Resources for telehealth program developmentSamantha Haas
This document summarizes a presentation about developing telehealth programs. It discusses the need for expanding access to healthcare using telehealth technologies, especially in rural areas. Common applications of telehealth include providing medical specialty services, remote monitoring, education, and administrative support. Developing successful telehealth programs can be challenging and requires addressing issues like reimbursement, integration, funding, operations and compliance. The Telehealth Resource Centers (TRCs) are a network that provides expertise, guidance and support to organizations looking to implement telehealth services. The TRCs can assist with strategic planning, training, policy development and identifying best practices.
The document summarizes a six-month project that trained 150 youth workers to deliver brief motivational interviewing interventions to over 2,000 at-risk young people across several regions of the UK. An Android app was used to screen and measure outcomes of over 800 young people who received interventions. Findings showed the interventions helped reduce risky behaviors like substance use and crime, while increasing participants' confidence to make healthy choices and intention to change behaviors.
The Whole System Demonstrator programme evaluated the use of telehealth and telecare to improve care for people with long-term conditions. It was the largest randomized controlled trial of telehealth/telecare in the world, involving over 6,000 people across several sites in the UK. The results showed that technology can help manage long-term conditions when integrated into redesigned care systems and combined with clinical engagement. However, successful implementation requires addressing organizational challenges, building trust with patients, and focusing on more than just introducing new devices. The findings support telehealth/telecare as part of improving care for the growing number of people with long-term conditions.
This document summarizes a partnership between UHI Millennium Institute and the University of Aberdeen to enhance knowledge exchange between higher education institutions and local authorities in order to improve dementia care services in rural areas of Orkney and the Scottish Borders. The project aims to build capacity for using evidence to inform practice through placements, research, training, and developing improvement plans. Findings so far indicate a lack of relevant research on rural dementia care and that successful service innovation depends on the local demographic, geographic, and community context. The project is working to more closely align the knowledge exchange process with practitioner needs and culture.
This document discusses the benefits of adopting a modern, technology-enabled approach to workforce rostering in NHS trusts. It notes that current rostering methods lack flexibility and precision, making it difficult for trusts to manage staffing costs and meet fluctuating demand. A high-quality e-rostering system would allow for intuitive management of staff schedules, real-time visibility of resourcing gaps, and algorithm-driven auto-rostering to optimize staff allocation. This could improve staff satisfaction through increased flexibility, reduce cancellations and waiting times for patients, and help trusts control costs by minimizing agency spending and back-office headcount.
Innovative educational technologies like e-learning, simulation, and smartphones provide unprecedented opportunities for health and social care students, trainees, and staff to acquire and develop the essential knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed for safe and effective patient care. These technologies can deliver training that meets learners' needs when it suits them, meets workforce pressures, and can be accessed just in time at the point of need. However, getting digital learning right requires using familiar formats so trainees learn the content and not the system, ensuring usability, leveraging existing resources, and evaluating both delivery and content to avoid using technology just for its own sake.
This document discusses bringing together different approaches to orthodontics that consider airway health, including Rogers MewAngleCrozat, myofunctional orthotropics, fixed appliances, and lightwire/cranial techniques. It advocates for interdisciplinary collaboration between orthodontics and other medical fields like pediatrics, musculo-skeletal medicine, and more to implement airway-conscious treatment protocols, improve diagnostics, and raise awareness of airway health issues. The goal is improved patient outcomes through validated multi-system diagnoses and addressing the epidemiology of airway problems.

The guide was published as an online wiki and printed resource to help services improve technology-based outreach.
International digital health and care congress 2014 - Breakouts: Friday, Sess...The King's Fund
Breakout sessions on Friday included several presentations on using digital tools:
1) To aid prevention and rehabilitation of strokes, diabetes management, and neonatal resuscitation skills.
2) To support both patients and staff through serious gaming, computational creativity, and internet-delivered end-of-life services.
3) To share digital information between clinicians using apps to assess burns, transfer clinical images, and support surgical training decisions.
4) To promote active aging and independence in older adults through cognitive support technology, mobile healthcare assessments, and telecare collaboration.
The document discusses the need for digital resources and telemedicine in medical colleges in India. It argues that merely increasing the number of medical colleges and doctors will not improve the quality of education or healthcare without integrating modern technology. Telemedicine could help connect medical students and hospitals to experts around the country, providing real-world learning experiences. The document advocates designing telemedicine training programs together with medical students to give them experience with technology and receive feedback on implementations. It concludes that telemedicine will be important for future medical careers and questions should no longer be about whether it is needed, but how to best develop the resources.

Welcome to the launch of Leading Change, Adding ValueNHS England
This document outlines the agenda for the launch of the Leading Change, Adding Value framework for nursing, midwifery, and care staff. The event includes welcome remarks, a launch by the Chief Nursing Officer for England, and reflections from national and international colleagues. The framework aims to promote health, increase leadership visibility, empower individuals, provide high-value care, and work in partnership. It establishes 10 commitments around these goals and emphasizes measuring outcomes to assess the framework's impact on health, care quality, and resource use. Next steps include local application, measurement guidance, dissemination of good practices, alignment of national programs, and work on unwarranted variations.
This document provides summaries from several presentations about driving progress in health care through research supported by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in the UK. The first presentation introduces the NIHR and its role in supporting different types of health care research. The second presentation describes a clinical academic fellowship funded by the NIHR and the research and career development it enabled. The third presentation summarizes a large clinical trial called DRAFFT that compared wire fixation and plate fixation for distal radius fractures and found wires to be as effective and cost less, leading to a change in practice. The last presentation discusses the experience of patients who participate in research and how it can benefit the NHS.
The document discusses the implementation of a Virtual Fracture Clinic (VFC) model at Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust (BSUH) as an alternative to the traditional new patient fracture clinic model. Some key issues with the traditional model included 45% of patients needing time off work for appointments and only 44% being discharged at their first appointment. The VFC aims to 1) bring treatment to patients' homes to improve experience, 2) ensure management decisions are made by orthopaedic consultants, 3) provide standardized evidence-based treatment, and 4) reduce outpatient appointments. The VFC evaluation found improvements in several areas compared to the traditional model.
The document discusses Participatory and Appreciative Action and Reflection (PAAR), an approach with 3 goals: focusing on the best of what is, exploring what can be, and envisioning what will be. PAAR aims to address challenges through positive questions, elevate positive emotions, and build on individual and organizational strengths. It emphasizes participation, empowerment, ethics, and appreciation and can be used to influence decision-making and improve situations through courageous action. Key pillars of PAAR include space, empowerment, ethics, appreciation, and participation.
1) Reflective learning involves feeling positive and doing good work. How you feel affects how you think and what you do. Feeling positive makes you more likely to feel optimistic, confident, and able to cope with work pressures.
2) Reflecting on your general feelings of well-being and your relationships with others can help create workplaces where people feel valued and respected and able to do their best work.
3) Appreciative reflection focuses on identifying, understanding, and amplifying strengths and talents in yourself and others to improve work and the workplace. It's about focusing on success rather than just problems.
This document discusses reflective learning and metacognition in nursing. It defines critical thinking as the cognitive work of the mind and composite of attitudes that guides nurses in assessing, assimilating, and deciding information to make quick decisions. Novice nurses have fewer patient cues and difficulty with complex diagnoses compared to expert nurses who use informal thinking and cognitive shortcuts. Critical thinking skills develop with cognitive ability, experience, maturity, and skill level. Reflective learning and metacognition are important for nurses to support clinical judgments through internally examining issues triggered by experiences. Stages of reflection include awareness, critical analysis, and new perspectives to develop from a reflector to a critical reflector.
The document discusses the importance of reflective teaching practices for professional development in English language teaching (ELT). It defines reflective practice as critically analyzing one's own experiences and attempting to generalize lessons from that reflection. The document outlines that reflective teaching involves reflecting on areas like content knowledge, understanding learners, teaching approaches, and lesson effectiveness. Both qualitative and quantitative methods of reflection are presented, like journals, feedback forms, and checklists. An example of a retrospective teaching report is provided, and readers are asked to reflect on how they would analyze the report. Overall, the document argues that reflective practice helps teachers structure problems, question their approaches, and improve their instruction over time through self-analysis.
This document discusses reflective learning and the reflective process. Reflective learning involves internally examining experiences which triggers new ideas and perspectives. It is central to experiential learning. The Gibbs Reflective Cycle is presented as a structured model to guide reflection, with stages including description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, and action plan. Students are instructed to use the reflection sheet questions to reflect on and discuss their most successful, embarrassing, exciting, or disappointing personal experiences.
Approaches to learning (ATL) are trans-disciplinary skills that are developed in students from primary years through the diploma program. ATL skills enable students to become stronger, self-regulated learners and lifelong learners. These skills include communication, social/collaboration, self-management, research, thinking, and transferring skills across disciplines. Developing ATL skills helps students take responsibility for their own learning by increasing their awareness of how they learn best and improving their use of learning strategies.
This document discusses reflective practice for teachers. It defines reflective practice as examining one's own teaching methods and practices to improve effectiveness. It describes techniques for reflection like keeping a learning diary and asking self-reflective questions. The benefits of reflective practice include improved teaching skills, problem-solving abilities, and student outcomes. Reflective practice allows teachers to learn from experience and continuously enhance their practices.
This document outlines a presentation on reflective teaching practices for educators. It discusses the benefits of reflective teaching such as becoming aware of assumptions, preventing surprises, continual improvement, and job satisfaction. Reflective teachers should write about their teaching experiences to document their work for future hiring and promotions. The presentation provides exercises and examples of reflective writing practices like teaching philosophies, narratives, and autobiographies that teachers can implement. The goal is to help educators thoughtfully evaluate and improve their teaching methods over time.
The document discusses reflective practice and different models for how professionals can engage in reflection. It describes Donald Schön's model of reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action, where professionals reflect on their knowledge and actions. Another model by Greenaway involves planning, reviewing, and doing an activity. The document applies these models to teaching, discussing how teachers can reflect during and after lesson implementation to improve student learning.

Reflective teaching is a cyclical process that involves teachers reflecting on their observations, knowledge, and experience in order to effectively guide students. It involves self-observation, evaluation, and using reflections to plan future lessons. Key aspects of reflective teaching include taking time for reflection, encouraging students to recount their experiences, and using tools like journals, portfolios, and student feedback to guide reflections. Reflective teaching distinguishes teachers as educated professionals who can thoughtfully problem-solve and foster student learning.
Reflective thinking/teaching
An approach that a teacher can employ towards his/her lessons. This approach is not multi-disciplinary thus it is to be carefully analyzed prior to employing this approach in any activity.
Reflective practice is a discipline that ensures we give adequate time and attention to reflection in the learning cycle. It is necessary for the development of wisdom, and wisdom is necessary for effective change.
Reflective teaching involves critically examining one's own teaching practices and experiences in the classroom. Teachers collect data on their teaching through methods like keeping journals, conducting observations, collecting student feedback, and recording lessons. They then analyze the data to identify patterns and underlying beliefs, evaluate different perspectives, and reflect on how to improve. The goal is ongoing professional development and ensuring students maximize their learning.
Collaborative learning and cooperative learning are similar but have some key differences:
- Collaborative learning is a philosophy that respects each individual's contributions, while cooperative learning is a structured way for a group to accomplish a specific goal or task.
- The teacher facilitates but does not control collaborative learning, while in cooperative learning the teacher maintains more control over the process and may assign specific roles, tasks or products.
- Both approaches can be effective for language learning by encouraging communication, sharing of ideas, and long-term retention when used appropriately for the level and topic.
The document discusses the differences between cooperative and collaborative learning. It states that cooperative learning involves structuring social interactions through steps defined by the teacher, with the goal of completing a specific task or product. Collaborative learning gives students more control over processes and outcomes, emphasizes consensus building, and respects individual contributions. Both are based on constructivist learning theory and involve active participation, but collaborative learning is less teacher-directed and gives students greater responsibility for their learning.

Supporting mental health awareness through the use of augmented realityStephen Wileman
South Staffordshire College partnered with Rethink Mental Illness charity to develop augmented reality (AR) resources to promote awareness of hidden disabilities. They created high-quality AR posters that provided information on mental health topics and signposted support services when scanned using an AR app. This helped identify learners with hidden disabilities earlier and increase disclosure of mental health issues. The partnership led to a 56% rise in learners accessing pastoral support and helped reduce stigma around mental health on campus.

In the driving seat: Health care and research led for, and by young peopleSimon R. Stones
This seminar was delivered as part of the University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN) Centre for Children and Young People’s Participation Seminar Series.
The document discusses how technology is revolutionizing the patient experience in healthcare. It notes that consumers now expect to use digital technologies for healthcare as they do in other areas of their lives. Technologies like big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence are improving how patients interact with and receive care from healthcare providers and making the experience more intuitive, accessible, and centered around individual needs and preferences. The biggest change patients will see is an improvement in how they interact with and are cared for by providers through a service that listens to their needs and designs experiences to meet those needs in a patient-centered way.

"I am here today to talk about a digital photo essay - How can we get life-saving interventions to women and babies?
I will be looking to the issue of photography as a research tool
So what is a photo essay? A photo-essay is a set or series of photographs that are made to tell the story of events of create a series of emotions in the viewer. Photo essays can often demonstrate behaviours or show deep emotional stages.
The images that make up this photo essay relates to maternal and newborn health and traces the story of women in Ethiopia as they go into labour and the care that is received in the first hours and days of a newborns life.
We put them together using the Shorthand Social which allows you create visually engaging storytelling microsites for free.
For the next few minutes, I will let the photographs that we used to do the talking….
So now that we have followed these mothers and newborns on their journeys, I will explain how this research came about, and I will cover the following topics:

The startups cover a range of areas including virtual medical education platforms, plant-based seafood alternatives, digital therapies for autism, personalized cancer mental health support, medical cannabis products, and 3D printed custom implants.
This document summarizes a discussion around improving healthcare in rural and remote areas. Key points include:
- There is a need to break down silos between healthcare organizations and take a more integrated approach.
- Communities that have successfully controlled local resources can serve as examples to inspire others. Their approaches need to be shared more widely.
- Healthcare must be considered within the broader context of issues like education, housing, and employment opportunities. A holistic approach is needed.
- Both community participation and capturing patient experiences are important for planning and delivering healthcare services.
Older adults were interviewed to understand their perspectives on involvement in health care innovation and regional health innovation ecosystems (RHIEs). Results showed that older adults are interested in involvement and see multiple potential roles, from developing ideas to testing technologies. Diversity among older adults was emphasized as a factor in planning involvement. Barriers like ageism were also identified. Engaging older adults in developing RHIEs could provide insights to enhance the value, acceptability, and use of new health technologies for aging populations. Next steps will use concept mapping to further understand stakeholder perspectives on older adult involvement in RHIEs.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
