The new facility will also aim to make Velindre an international focal point for research & development with an emphasis on expanding clinical trials and improving the translational research links between ‘bench’ and ‘bed’. The quality of the surrounding landscape offers the potential for an architectural experience that is closely connected with the surrounding natural beauty. The proximity to existing nature reserves, flourishing meadows, and wildlife will be capitalised upon to enhance the health and wellbeing for staff, patients, and visitors alike. 6 Velindre Cancer Centre 7 ProposedSketch view Main of proposed Entrance main entrance to the Cancer Centre 02 _Contextual Analysis Strategic Context The Welsh Government has set a very clear ambition radiotherapy patients could receive their initial for cancer care in Wales within the Together for consultation at an outreach clinic in the facilities of Health: Cancer Delivery Plan 2012 – 2016 which sets their Local Health Board and their treatment in out standards for the quality, safety and experience locations closer to home through the provision of a of care that the population of South East Wales Velindre Cancer Centre radiotherapy satellite site in should receive. Velindre Cancer Centre (VCC) is the the most appropriate location. largest of the three clinical oncology centres in Wales and one of the ten largest regional clinical oncology centres in the United Kingdom (UK Radiotherapy Equipment Survey, 2008). VCC is also the sole provider of non-surgical specialist cancer services to the catchment population of 1.5 million across South-East Wales, from Chepstow to Bridgend and from Cardiff to Brecon. The existing Centre opened in 1956 and has since grown incrementally in response to changes in technology and demands for increased capacity. The quality of the service provided to patients at VCC is rated very highly, although it is recognised that the quality and function of the hospital environment impacts upon patients and the service they receive. Due to the age of the facility there are issues with noncompliance with statutory requirements such as Health Building Notes (HBN’s) and the need to meet targets for energy and environmental management. The VCC is currently at a tipping point in its ability to provide high quality care at the existing facility in the face of increasing referrals into the service and increasing complexity of treatment which requires modern technology and clinical practice. The future reputation of Velindre Cancer Centre could be put at risk and will reduce its ability develop its reputation nationally and internationally and provide the highest quality patient care to which it aspires. The founding principle of the future service model for Velindre aligns directly with the strategic intent of care close to home: ‘All care and treatment provided at home or close to home unless it is unsafe or does not provide the patient with the best outcome possible’. To achieve this, a radical redesign of services is required based around a ‘hub and spoke’ model which would enable approximately 60% of chemotherapy patients in South-East Wales to receive their care and support at home or close to home.

  • Cardiff 19Th Century Gameboard Instructions
    Cardiff 19th Century Timeline Game education resource This resource aims to: • engage pupils in local history • stimulate class discussion • focus an investigation into changes to people’s daily lives in Cardiff and south east Wales during the nineteenth century. Introduction Playing the Cardiff C19th timeline game will raise pupil awareness of historical figures, buildings, transport and events in the locality. After playing the game, pupils can discuss which of the ‘facts’ they found interesting, and which they would like to explore and research further. This resource contains a series of factsheets with further information to accompany each game board ‘fact’, which also provide information about sources of more detailed information related to the topic. For every ‘fact’ in the game, pupils could explore: People – Historic figures and ordinary population Buildings – Public and private buildings in the Cardiff locality Transport – Roads, canals, railways, docks Links to Castell Coch – every piece of information in the game is linked to Castell Coch in some way – pupils could investigate those links and what they tell us about changes to people’s daily lives in the nineteenth century. Curriculum Links KS2 Literacy Framework – oracy across the curriculum – developing and presenting information and ideas – collaboration and discussion KS2 History – skills – chronological awareness – Pupils should be given opportunities to use timelines to sequence events.

HOSELITZ RESEARCH CENTER IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURAL CHANGE, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO 1. Introduction FROM THE END OF the seventeenth to the end of the nineteenth cen- tury the economic structure of Western Europe underwent a pro- found change. Cross national income grew at an accelerated rate, and the center of gravity of the economy shifted from primary to secondary and later to tertiary industries. The Industrial Revolution reached its peak in the first quarter of the nineteenth century in England and in the third quarter in France. After that, rates of growth declined in both countries, but the trend proceeded along paths whose basic contours had been traced in the decades preceding the turning point. In order to understand fully the role of entre- preneurship in Britain and France, and its relationship to capital formation and economic development, its place and function must be examined in the period when modern
