Sepsis is a hugely unacknowledged condition of which I have personal experience. Despite many people never having heard of the condition, it is the most common reason for Intensive Care admissions in England and accounts for one in seven deaths in hospitals, making it the third highest cause of mortality in a hospital setting. Despite this, there are concerns that the condition is severely under-diagnosed, under-recorded and under-reported. Last year’s APPG report reinforced this concern by revealing that in some cases NHS Trusts were under-recording incidents of severe sepsis by a factor of 17 or more, prompting the Government to encourage greater awareness and introduce a national commissioning lever. This second Annual Report considers the progress that has been made since then, and particularly focuses on the levels of investment and training for medical professionals to recognise, manage and report incidents of sepsis. It also makes practical recommendations based on its findings which NHS Trusts nationwide should put in place to improve patient outcomes and health service efficiency. I am committed to working with my Parliamentary colleagues and others to drive down the numbers affected by this debilitating and potentially lethal condition.

  • Draft Letter to the Prime Minister
    HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDO sw 1A OAA Rt. Hon. David Cameron MP Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A2AA Dear Prime Minister, As Members of Parliament for Staffordshire, we write to express our deep concern at the withdrawal of 3rd Battalion, the Mercian Regiment (The Staffards) from the Order of Battle. The Battalion has a proud history which can be traced back to its first raising at the King's Head Inn, Lichfield, in 1705. It served in Martinique, South Africa, Flanders, Gallipoli, Anzio and Arnhem. More recently, photographs of 3 Mercian fighting in Basra, became defining images of the Iraq campaign. We all recognise the difficult financial climate and the constraints that imposes on the Ministry of Defence. We understand that savings must be made. However, we also know that the decision to withdraw 3 Mercian will be distressing for all those currently serving, particularly those that might face redundancy, for their families and for those former Staffards who proudly recall their service. We know that it is the responsibility of the Mercian Regiment, as reorganised, to decide how best to reflect its history and antecedents. But as there is no longer any senior former Stafford serving on its staff, we hope that you will do all you can to encourage the Regiment to preserve and cherish the symbols, traditions and heritage of 3 Mercian within its ranks. 2 Mercian is known now as the Worcester and Sherwood Foresters as a result of previous amalgamations and we hope that a similar formula can be found to remember the Staffords.

  • Surgery Reconfiguration Public Engagement Report
    Surgery Reconfiguration Public Engagement Report PB March 2015 Executive Summary After an extended period of public engagement, over 18 weeks from 16thOctober 2014 to 9th February 2015, the feedback has been collated in this report. Overall, there appears to be an acceptance that the Trust cannot continue to provide surgical services in the current form given the external factors influencing healthcare delivery and the evidence that centralisation of services improves clinical outcomes. It is clear that the population is passionate about the retention of their local hospitals and the proposal to keep all outpatient appointments and investigation services delivered locally is popular. Concern remains over transport and travel and whilst the Trust is exploring possible solutions to this there is a degree of public scepticism that the issues will be resolved satisfactorily, which is likely to remain until such time as concrete plans have been developed and implemented. There has been almost no feedback from patients or the public relating to how the changes will affect the likely outcomes of undergoing surgery. This was explained at events with provision of the evidence on the website and so the lack of feedback may indicate it is not a contentious issue. There is little difference between the feedback received from each site although there has been a better response from Good Hope in terms of numbers, possibly due to the additional awareness created by local lobby groups. Whilst there appears to be acknowledgement that redesigning surgical services is the right approach, it is likely that individuals will resist change when it directly affects them or the services they access.

  • OPENING PANDORA's BOX David Cameron's Referendum Gamble On
    OPENING PANDORA’S BOX David Cameron’s Referendum Gamble on EU Membership Credit: The Economist. By Christina Hull Yale University Department of Political Science Adviser: Jolyon Howorth April 21, 2014 Abstract This essay examines the driving factors behind UK Prime Minister David Cameron’s decision to call a referendum if the Conservative Party is re-elected in 2015. It addresses the persistence of Euroskepticism in the United Kingdom and the tendency of Euroskeptics to generate intra-party conflict that often has dire consequences for Prime Ministers. Through an analysis of the relative impact of political strategy, the power of the media, and British public opinion, the essay argues that addressing party management and electoral concerns has been the primary influence on David Cameron’s decision and contends that Cameron has unwittingly unleashed a Pandora’s box that could pave the way for a British exit from the European Union. Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank the Bates Summer Research Fellowship, without which I would not have had the opportunity to complete my research in London. To Professor Peter Swenson and the members of The Senior Colloquium, Gabe Botelho, Josh Kalla, Gabe Levine, Mary Shi, and Joel Sircus, who provided excellent advice and criticism. To Professor David Cameron, without whom I never would have discovered my interest in European politics. To David Fayngor, who flew halfway across the world to keep me company during my summer research. To my mom for her unwavering support and my dad for his careful proofreading. And finally, to my adviser Professor Jolyon Howorth, who worked with me on this project for over a year and a half.
