The following best practice models and particular strengths of current practice in individual jurisdictions were discussed. Established service coordination roles enable relationships, referrals and information sharing between health services and child protection case workers (such as in Victoria and NSW) Clear policy frameworks to underpin agreed clinical standards, roles and responsibilities, and issues of priority access to health services (such as through ‘rapid response’ in SA and WA) Engagement, information sharing and training of GPs and primary care practitioners in the needs of children and young people in the child protection system Clear and established pathways from preliminary health assessment to comprehensive and multidisciplinary assessment Competency based training regimes for health professionals (currently in operation in the UK) Coordination and collaboration with the educational and schools platform. 5. Key features of current Australian approaches ACIL Allen Consulting presented on preliminary assessment of jurisdictional consultation feedback and areas for possible discussion. 7. Gaps in current practice Members raised the following key concerns and gaps in current practice drawing from the individual experiences of jurisdictions. Concern over current and future skill set of General Practitioners, paediatricians and practice nurses to work with children and young people who have experienced trauma, abuse and neglect Deficiencies in interagency collaboration and communication Need for shared understanding, coordination and accountability at senior government levels. Differing focus and emphasis among health professionals and child protection staff, on the health and developmental needs of children and young people Poor understanding at a policy design level of the on the ground issues associated with collecting health histories and coordinating health assessments for this population group, including amount of administrative and follow up work required to make referrals and ensure treatment (intervention) outcomes A lack of consistency and shared understanding around appropriate roles and responsibilities A risk-averse approach to issues of privacy and information sharing Variable use and take up of current MBS items to enable health assessments and interventions for this population group Absence of a dedicated MBS item for General Practice (major concern) and for specialist assessment (less of a concern)

Before beginning this paper, this nurse thought of the many stereotypes or biases she holds toward elderly individuals. She assumes they are all hard of hearing, have vision loss, forget things, have problems with incontinence, are stuck in their ways, and are mobility impaired. When looking back, there are many individuals she takes care of on a daily basis that do not meet any of her criteria that are thriving in society at the age of 95. Research and knowledge can have a considerable impact on how one views a vulnerable population. Often, stereotypes and biases are due to lack of knowledge and understanding of a certain population. Once an individual has a full understanding, biases and stereotypes disappear. This is why research is so important for nurses. By researching underserved populations and developing ways to help these populations, personal biases will be lessened or disappear. This is what has happened for this nurse. By researching the elderly, health issues they face, stereotypes they must overcome, and meeting these individuals in this nurse’s patient population, she has seen her biases and stereotypes lessening. Understanding is the key to helping vulnerable and underserved populations. Conclusion Older adults face many challenges in the healthcare system. Not only does this population require more healthcare resources, but often have a harder time receiving these services. Society’s biases toward the older adult do not help this population in their fight for equal quality of life. Through knowledge, research, and social and public policies, this vulnerable population can witness an increase in the quality of healthcare they receive and deserve. References

Under the ESI Scheme, all insured persons and their dependents are entitled to free, full and comprehensive medical care. The package covers all aspects of health care from primary to super-specialty services. Whereas, the primary, outpatient, inpatient and specialist services are provided through a network of ESI dispensaries and hospitals. Super specialty services are through a large number of empanelled medical institutions on referral basis. Since the medical benefit is the kingpin of the ESI benefits, the effectiveness of the under the ESI scheme can best be judged by the level of satisfaction on medical benefits (medical care) as perceived by the beneficiaries. The level of satisfaction is assessed in terms of services/facilities provided in ESI DISPENSARIES and ESI HOSPITAL. It is found, during the study that 225 IPs of sample respondents (58.90%) have visited various ESI Dispensaries located in the state during the year 2013-14 for medical care.

or three times a year.” This seems to have worked as the children looked quite at ease surrounded by teddy bears as they had their blood pressure taken. Russell said: “The UCLan Health Mela has yet again been a tremendous success and is a shining example of community engagement. It was a pleasure to see so many students from across UCLan working in partnership with our University staff, honorary fellows and community members. Taking health and wellbeing awareness into the community via the Health Melas is now a major part of the UCLan Creative Communities Group activities. The Group now supports the seven Health Melas held throughout the year across Lancashire and Yorkshire.” When the Chairman of the National Forum for Health and Wellbeing, Professor Romesh Gupta OBE, was asked about the future of the event and reaching the public he said: “We need to think of more ways of engaging them, encouraging them, because this is all about reaching communities which are hard to reach.” The Next Health Mela will take place in Bradford University and Carlisle simultaneously on the 14 May.

Vocational Pathway Assessment Resource Achievement standard: Standard title: Level: Credits: Resource title: Resource reference: VP- Vocational pathway: Learner instructions Introduction This assessment activity requires you to demonstrate understanding of ways in which can change, and strategies to support the well-being of a tourism worker. You are going to be assessed on how comprehensively you demonstrate understanding of the effects of the change on the well-being of a tourism worker, his and others’ consequent feelings (positive and negative) and possible responses, along with strategies to support their well-being during the change. The following instructions provide you with a way to structure your work so you can demonstrate what you have learnt and achieve success in this standard. Assessor/educator note: It is expected that the assessor/educator will read the learner instructions, and modify them if necessary to suit their learners. Task You are training in adventure tourism which involves working with many extreme sports. While working in this industry people often experience situations in which their well-being can change, for example seasonal employment. Your supervisor has asked you to demonstrate your understanding of ways in which can change and strategies to support well-being by reading the scenario below about Jackson and completing the activities that follow. Jackson was a keen adventure junky: a seasoned surfer, extreme mountain-biker, and enthusiast. He wanted to pursue his passion for high octane thrills as a career and so when he scored an internship with an adventure tourism company in Queenstown over the summer he couldn’t believe his luck. It would be his first time living away from home; he didn’t know anyone in Queenstown and had never been to the South Island before. He had to organise flights and accommodation and found a fairly cheap room at the local YMCA. He was already hoping that the internship would develop into a paid position. Finally the day came, and he arrived at Queenstown airport. The company had sent their courtesy van to meet him and a young woman got out of the driver’s seat and introduced being

confounding explanation, we investigate whether there are concurrent changes in anticorruption laws, oversight or initiatives to fight corruption adopted by the sample countries. The OECD convention, which has detailed information on country monitoring processes and implementation efforts, does not cover many of our high corruption countries. A search of the World Bank country database on anticorruption laws, agencies and strategies, as well as local country initiatives provides little evidence that countries systematically adopted other anticorruption initiatives around the year of initiating EITI reporting. The only exception, Afghanistan, published proposals to combat corruption in the National Anti-corruption Strategy (aka Azimi report) and the Afghan National Development Strategy in 2008, one year prior to announcing its intention to implement EITI. Afghanistan issued its first EITI report in 2012, covering years March 2008 to March 2010. Given the difficulty identifying specific country anti-corruption initiatives, we attempt to control for them in our analysis by including a time-varying country variable that reflects the quality of government. This variable, produced by the World Bank, “reflects perceptions of the quality of public services, the quality of the civil service and the degree of its independence from political pressures, the quality of policy formulation and implementation, and the credibility of the government's commitment to such policies.” It is likely to be correlated with a country’s anticorruption efforts, but it could also capture any improvements in the government effectiveness from EITI reporting, potentially biasing downward the EITI variable estimates. As reported in Panel B of Table 6, the quality of government estimate is negative and significant. Its inclusion reduces the EITI Public estimate to 0.13, marginally statistically significant at the 9% level. In contrast, for low corruption countries, we find no evidence that adoption of EITI standards or publication of EITI reports is associated with any material change in corruption

Clare Dinnis, Deputy Director Strategy Delivery, Environment Agency and Chair of Flood & Coast 2018 Advisory Committee [INSERT PHOTO TO THE RIGHT – SAVED IN IMAGES] “Flood & Coast offers a single opportunity for individuals and organisations to come together from across many different geographical and technical areas to share ideas, learn about and discuss developments and innovations in flood and coastal erosion risk management. What’s really important about the conference is how it helps promote understanding among professionals and across the wider community, creating a common sense of purpose and partners working together to meet common needs. It gives people the time and space they mightn’t otherwise have to share and learn from ideas and hold thought-provoking and inspiring discussions and conversations. One of Flood & Coast’s most powerful aspects is the opportunity to build and strengthen networks, relationships, partnerships and, ultimately, trust.”

I Intentional Program Violation (IPV) An IPV includes intentional actions, statements, etc., committed by a AFDC and/or FS recipient. A recipient determined to have committed an IPV is disqualified from receiving AFDC and/or FS benefits for a specified period. CDSS judges conduct ADHs to determine if an IPV(s) was committed. A county seeking to disqualify a recipient may request an ADH and present evidence at the ADH proving the recipient committed an IPV. Based on the evidence presented, a CDSS judge will determine if the recipient committed an IPV. CDSS judges conduct ADHs, not IPVs. An IPV is not a hearing. M Master Calendar A master calendar is a document which identifies the hearing circuits for a specific week for all SHD units. The master calendar is printed by the SHS and distributed to each Presiding Judge about ten (10) calendar days before each week of hearings. For each SHD unit, the Presiding Judge then assigns hearing calendars or circuits to judges in that unit. N Nonadopted Decision A nonadopted decision is a proposed decision which was not adopted by a Presiding Judge or by Action of Law. A nonadopted decision is void. A proposed decision becomes a nonadopted decision when a Director’s alternate decision is released or a further hearing is ordered, provided one (1) of these two (2) action occurs on or before the certification expiration date. Support staff affix a void stamp to each page of a nonadopted proposed decision. O Open Record An open record is an allotted time period granted by a judge, during which evidence and/or written arguments or responses may be submitted by one (1) or more hearing parties or evidence may be received from recipients of subpoenas duces tecum. A judge may leave a record open while conducting a hearing or may reopen a record after a hearing. Records are typically open for 30 days but may be held open less or more than 30 days. Judges may shorten or extend open records.

GROUP I Morgan Evans, Doug Judice, Brian Decker, Allison Mooney Discussion questions: Marlow constantly uses vague and often redundant phrases like “unspeakable secrets” and “inconceivable mystery.” At other times, however, he is capable of powerful imagery and considerable eloquence. Why does Marlow use vague and “inconclusive” language so frequently? Theme work: Lack of truth and man’s ongoing quest for meaning: The novella is rife with imagery and language that confounds the reader and leaves Marlow questioning his reality. Though the novella assumes the archetypal genre of the hero’s quest (in which the hero must undergo a set of trials and tests on the path to enlightenment), the typical form of that quest becomes corrupted in Heart of Darkness. (You may or may not argue that—due to the frame of the story—the hero’s quest may actually get turned right-side up.) Consider 4 basic steps of the hero’s journey, and apply them to Heart of Darkness. If you note corruptions (or deviations from the archetypal pattern) identify any significance or authorial intent that arises from such deviations. Four basic steps of the hero cycle are: Call to Adventure, Temptations/Obstacles, Supernatural Aid (this can be an actual supernatural being or a spiritual one), Return Home (after the journey, the hero must return home to merge with his prior self).

live 7-15 years longer and the quality of that life is significantly better making it a compelling solution to the current problem. Professor Jon BARRY MB BCh, MCh, FRCS Consultant Surgeon and Honorary Professor of Surgery Morriston Hospital and Swansea University Department of Surgery Swansea, Wales, UK Professor Jeffrey STEPHENS BSc, MB, BS, PhD, FRCP, FAcadMEd, FHEA Clinical Professor of Diabetes & Honorary Consultant Physician - Swansea University and Morriston Hospital. Diabetes Centre, Morriston Hospital, Swansea, Wales Next, Professor Jeffery Stephens looked at the metabolic improvement seen in patients with impaired glucose tolerance following bariatric, or as it could be more accurately called, metabolic surgery. Surgery for obesity improves glucose and insulin control, lipid abnormalities as well as signs of chronic inflammation. Longer term information around the remission of T2DM and long-term glucose regulation is still required but the evidence so far suggests a superior effect with bariatric surgery when compared to conventional management. The importance of gender-specific aspects of CVD was explained by Dr Jane Flint Bridgewater. Women under the age of 55 are more likely to present with atypical MI symptoms (when compared with men or older women) and have the highest risk of death from MI of any group. Progress to increase awareness and improve management of CVD in women has been made as a result of the British Cardiovascular Society joint working group recommendations for women’s cardiovascular health. On the other side of the coin there is a CVD gender gap of 6-7 years in favour of women and with over 50% of premature deaths in men potentially avoidable it is important that action is taken. Professor Michael Kirby explained possible reasons for the gender gap such as differences in lifestyle, biological factors and men having less engagement with health care services. Interestingly, men with erectile dysfunction (ED) have a 44% increased risk of experiencing a cardiovascular event. Low testosterone is another warning signal for premature death but levels can be increased through diet and exercise.
