Traditionally, pedigrees are used to shed light on the latter only, while here we discuss the application of polygenic risk scores to also highlight patterns of common genetic risk. We analyze polygenic risk scores for psychiatric disorders in a large pedigree (n ~ 260) in which 30% of family members suffer from major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder.

It did not offer a strong or unanimous to repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a UK Bill of way forward. Rights; and Labour and the Lib Dems committed to its retention. On the central issue, seven of the commission’s nine members came Sir Leigh Lewis, chairman of the Commission on a Bill of Rights, down in favour of a UK Bill of Rights. Such a bill would incorporate talked about the report at a Constitution Unit Seminar on and build on all of the UK’s obligations under the European 24 January – see website. Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), and would provide no less protection than is contained in the current Human Rights Act and the devolution settlements. Some of the majority also believed EXECUTIVE that a UK Bill of Rights could define more clearly the scope of some rights, and adjust the balance between different rights. The most powerful arguments for a new constitutional instrument were the lack of ownership by the public of the existing Human Rights Act, and the opportunity which a UK Bill of Rights would offer to The Cabinet Office review of the Committee for Standards in provide greater protection against possible abuses of power. Public Life The two members opposed to this conclusion – Helena Kennedy The Committee for Standards in Public Life (CSPL) was established QC and Prof Philippe Sands – felt that the time was not ripe for in response to the Cash for Questions scandal in 1994.

Corbyn signalled that Labour wants a UK–EU customs union (an issue also central to the conclusions reached The first of these, of course, is the nature of the UK’s by the Citizens’ Assembly on Brexit).

  • Health Tech Innovator Drdoctor Gains Three New NHS Contracts
    Press release Health tech innovator DrDoctor gains three new NHS contracts Patient appointment innovator DrDoctor is working with three new major NHS Trusts: • A major children’s hospital, where the system is being configured in record time and will manage the Trust’s 150000 specialist outpatient appointments • Whittington Health NHS Trust, covering all appointments across the Trust • University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, DrDoctor is piloting in Paediatrics to demonstrate an estimated 30% DNA rate reduction DrDoctor supports hospitals with digital transformation. Its system allows patients to view, change and schedule outpatient appointments themselves, online, on smartphone or by conversational SMS. DrDoctor chief executive Tom Whicher said: “We are thrilled to support three more forward thinking Trusts in their journey to provide effective, digital first, patient centric services. All three implementations will deliver, in year cash savings, increase patient satisfaction and form a strong foundation for future digital transformation.” DrDoctor reduces the number of missed and unscheduled appointments and allows patients to opt in to receiving paperless communications, releasing print and postage savings to Trusts. New analysis at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust has revealed that in one year the Trust has saved £2.2m, and patient satisfaction is 96 percent. DrDoctor is supporting a major London children’s hospital’s strategic plan to become the leading paediatric centre in the world. DrDoctor was engaged in January 2017 to deploy its Appointment Management Platform. DrDoctor’s platform is a fundamental shift away from an inconsistent approach to appointment management.

  • Self-Care in Young People with Diabetes: a Qualitative Exploration Using a Salutogenic Approach
    SELF-CARE IN YOUNG PEOPLE WITH DIABETES: A QUALITATIVE EXPLORATION USING A SALUTOGENIC APPROACH EMMA GREEN A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of East London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2018 Abstract This thesis investigates experiences of self-care amongst young people with diabetes using a qualitative salutogenic approach. Diabetes self-care includes injecting insulin, counting carbohydrates, attending hospital check-ups and other activities to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Optimal blood sugar levels are not always easy for young people with diabetes to attain, placing them at increased risk of health complications. A lack of self-care has been assumed traditionally to indicate a lack of knowledge. This exemplifies a ‘deficit’ approach whereby efforts to improve self-care focus heavily on diabetes education to increase knowledge. However, there is a lack of evidence that young people lack diabetes knowledge or that education-only interventions are effective. This thesis applies salutogenesis as an alternative to the deficit approach in which young people are conceptualised as individuals and their capabilities are acknowledged. The empirical work undertaken includes: a meta-ethnography of the international qualitative literature, analysis of semi-structured interviews with young people living in a diverse urban area of the UK, defined as disengaged from diabetes self-care (N=14): and a qualitative study conducted with young people participating in novel salutogenic projects which focused on their capabilities rather than ‘correcting’ their deficits (N=5). Across the studies it was found that ‘identity work’ underpins young people’s experiences with diabetes self-care.

Innovations in secondary care 42 7. Barriers and opportunities 51 8.

This report is one of four reports drawing together findings from evidence sessions held by the Commission during 2018. In our mental and physical health session we examined the potential for innovations which directly impact mental and physical health. We found there are significant gains to be made by increasing the rate of development, incubation and spread of innovation in this area. Sally Bowell Sally joined the International Longevity Centre as a Research Fellow in May 2017. Her work at the think tank has focused predominantly on health & social care, looking at topics such as music- based interventions for people with dementia, ageism in the breast cancer care pathway, and innovation in physical and mental health. 2 Physical and mental health: health and wellbeing commission Executive summary The benefits of innovation include improved quality of care, enhanced patient outcomes, and cost efficiencies. However, there are challenges to realising the potential of innovation in this area – and particularly in relation to moving from development to roll out and scaling.
