(ALERT ) on Attitudes and Confidence in Managing Critically Ill Adult Patients Resuscitation 65 (2005) 329–336 Impact of a one-day inter-professional course (ALERTTM) on attitudes and confidence in managing critically ill adult patientsଝ Peter Featherstone a, b, Gary B. Smith b, c, ∗, Maggie Linnell d, Simon Easton d, Vicky M. Osgood b a Portsmouth Institute of Medicine, Health & Social Care, University of Portsmouth, UK b Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, UK c Institute of Health & Community Studies, University of Bournemouth, UK d Department of Psychology, University of Portsmouth, UK Received 12 October 2004; accepted 10 December 2004 Abstract Anecdotal evidence suggests that anxiety and lack of confidence in managing acutely ill patients adversely affects performance. We evaluated the impact of attending an ALERTTM course on the confidence levels and attitudes of healthcare staff in relation to the recognition and management of acutely ill patients. A questionnaire, which examined knowledge, experience, confidence and teamwork, was distributed to participants prior to commencing an ALERTTM course. One hundred and thirty-one respondents agreed to participate in a follow-up questionnaire 6 weeks after completing the course. Respondents reported significantly more knowledge (pre 5.47 ± 1.69, post 7.37 ± 1.22; p < 0.01) in recognising a critically ill patient after attending an ALERTTM course. Mean scores for respondents’ confidence in their ability to recognise a critically ill patient (pre 6.04; post 7.71; t = 11.74; p < 0.01), keep such a patient alive (pre 5.70; post 7.30; t = 10.01; p < 0.01) and remember all the life-saving measures (pre 5.60; post 7.32; t = 11.71; p < 0.01) were increased. Fewer respondents were very worried about being responsible for a critically ill patient (pre 13; post 2; χ2 = 8.55; p < 0.003). There was a significant increase in the number of respondents indicating that they would use a system of assessment for acute illness (pre 23; post 37; χ2 = 4.25; p = 0.035). More staff said that they would approach a registrar or a consultant for help (χ2 = 3.29, n = 131, p < 0.05; χ2 = 7.51, n = 131, p < 0.01). There was a significant improvement in attendees’ confidence in working in an interdisciplinary team when caring for critically ill patients (pre 40.66; post 42.91; t = 2.32; p = 0.05). We conclude that attending an ALERTTM course has beneficial effects on the confidence levels and attitudes of healthcare staff in relation to the recognition and management of acutely ill patients. © 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Often cattle from the nearby Kelseys, an ancient area of springy turfed grassland, rich in wildflowers, can be found drinking from the stream. Beyond the headland is Holywell Bay arguably one of the most beautiful beaches in Cornwall, backed by sand dunes framed by the Gull Rocks off shore. Reachable by a 15 minute walk from the Car Park. It is a nice walk west along the Coast to Penhale Point, with superb views across Perran Bay, with Perranporth in the middle distance.

  • Screening Review of the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Minerals Strategy 2014
    Cabinet 8 September 2020 Screening Review of the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Minerals Strategy 2014 For Decision Portfolio Holder: Cllr D Walsh, Planning Local Councillor(s): All Wards Executive Director: John Sellgren, Executive Director of Place Report Author: Trevor Badley Title: Lead Project Officer (Minerals & Waste) Tel: 01305 224675 Email: [email protected] Report Status: Public Recommendation: That: i) it be noted that following Screening of the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Minerals Strategy 2014 for Review, a full or partial Review of the Minerals Strategy will not be undertaken this year. Officers will continue monitoring the Minerals Strategy 2014 and it will be screened again in 2021. ii) the Dorset Council Local Development Scheme is updated accordingly to reflect these actions. iii) the 2020 Review of the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Minerals Strategy 2014 , attached as an Appendix to this report, is made publicly available. Reason for Recommendation: Paragraph 33 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2019 requires that a local plan should be reviewed after five years to consider whether a formal full or partial Plan Review is required. To ensure that Dorset Council complies with this requirement, the Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Minerals Strategy 2014 was screened to assess whether a full or partial Review was required. It was found that a Review did not need to be initiated this year. The Dorset Council Local Development Scheme needs to be updated to reflect this, and planning guidance requires that the report of the screening exercise is made publicly available. 1. Executive Summary The Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole Minerals Strategy 2014 (MS) was adopted more than five years ago, and as required by the National Planning Policy Framework 2019 it has been assessed to determine whether a formal full (the whole document) or partial (only selected policies) Review is required.

    Bournemouth destination report 1 VisitEngland Destination tracker: • Since April 2015, the national tourist boards of VisitEngland, VisitScotland and VisitWales have been tracking visitor perceptions of holiday destinations across GB in a single research vehicle. • Data in this report is from April 2015 – September 2016 • This study explores behavioural and experience measures such as, visitation, spend, stay length, satisfaction and advocacy within individual destinations. As well as the imagery perceptions of each destination. • In the report there are 3 samples for comparison; those from whom this destination was the most recently visited, those who claim to visit a seaside destination at C52 and finally a GB average. • All respondents are GB holiday takers, having taken a GB break in the past 12 months or are expecting to in the next 12 months. This accounts for approx. 49% of the population. • Significant differences will be indicated by a black↑/orange↓ arrow against seaside destinations and a blue↑/red↓ against GB. • This report provides a snapshot of: 1. A demographic split of destination visitors 2. The behaviours exhibited at the destination: How loyal are they to the destination and how satisfied were they with their trip? 3. How GB holiday makers perceive this destination and how does it compare with others? • Finally there is a summary of findings. 2 Who is visiting?

It examines the much discussed but problematic concept of ‘islandness’, identifying distinctive insular characteristics and determining their significance but also investigating internal landscape diversity. This is the first detailed academic study of Isle of Wight land use and settlement from the early medieval period to the nineteenth century and is fully referenced to national frameworks. The thesis utilises documentary, cartographic and archaeological evidence. It employs the techniques of historic landscape characterisation (HLC), using synoptic maps created by the author and others as tools of graphic analysis. An analysis of the Isle of Wight’s physical character and cultural roots is followed by an investigation of problems and questions associated with models of settlement and land use at various scales.
