Book Description
This document sets out the priorities for the NHS up to 2008 based on the process of reform set out in the NHS Plan (Cm. 4818-I ISBN 0101481829). It is in three sections. The first 'Laying the foundations' looks at the progress so far in NHS reform. The second section 'Offering a better service' sets out the objectives of the policy under the headings of personalised care, supporting people with long-term conditions, and a healthier and fitter population. One of the aims is to change the NHS from a sickness service to a service that gives a higher priority to the prevention of disease and a reduction of health inequalities. The third section is called 'Making it happen' and it covers investment and diversity of provision, staff and working practices and information systems.

Health for all Children
Author: David M B Hall
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191015628
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 423
Book Description
Since publication of the fourth edition of this highly successful book, there have been a number of Government initiatives, reports and policies on how the health of children can best be protected and promoted. This revised fourth edition incorporates recent material on the National Service Framework, 'Every Child Matters', the public health report 'Choosing Health', and the Children Act. It has also been informed by new research on a variety of topics including Sure Start, obesity, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and language acquisition. Health for all Children 4/e (revised) continues the themes of previous editions, in particular highlighting the growing evidence that behavioural problems and educational failure are not inevitable, and can be prevented. Thus the role of screening for developmental problems, while not ignored, is set in the context of what can be done to promote language development, reading, and enthusiasm for learning. Changes made to the fourth edition, and continued in this revised edition, include dealing with the health care needs of children of school age as well as pre-school children. It also outlines the needs of special groups of children, including those who are vulnerable or disabled and those living in unusual circumstances. The legislative framework is outlined and hallmarks of good practice described. Promoting children's health is a key focus, with updated information on nutrition and injury prevention, and emphasis on the importance of parent education and support, language, and literacy skills, with a review of behavioural management programmes for parents. It also describes the duties laid on PCTs with regard to education and social services support. This established and successful book continues to be essential reading for all health professionals who work with children, whether in the community or at the receiving end of referrals. It will also provide vital background knowledge for those charged with the responsibility of planning, commissioning and monitoring. This revised fourth edition provides the most up to date evidence in a rapidly changing field.

Author: Frédéric Philippart
Publisher: Wolters Kluwer France
ISBN: 9782843610790
Category :
Languages : fr
Pages : 116
Book Description
L'objet de cet ouvrage est d'apporter au lecteur, qu'il soit chirurgien-dentiste, médecin, personnel soignant paramédical ou étudiant, tous les éléments en termes de connaissances et de moyens techniques afin d'appréhender, en toute sécurité, la sédation consciente par inhalation d'un mélange de protoxyde d'azote et d'oxygène. Les auteurs font le point sur cette technique en développant trois objectifs essentiels : - présenter de façon générale la sédation consciente par inhalation d'un mélange de protoxyde d'azote et d'oxygène et son intérêt dans le cadre de l'exercice d'une discipline médicale ou para-médicale ; - décrire la sédation consciente par inhalation d'un mélange de protoxyde d'azote et d'oxygène à concentration limitée à 50 % de protoxyde d'azote avec titration (0-50 %) ou sans titration (50 %) et systèmes anti-pollution répondant aux objectifs de sécurité d'utilisation, non seulement à l'égard du patient, mais aussi à l'égard des problèmes d'exposition chronique du praticien et du personnel ; - exposer les recommandations concernant les indications, les contre-indications, la sélection des patients, le matériel, les conditions et modalités d'utilisation et la prévention à l'exposition chronique. L'aspect bénéfique de la sédation, la relative innocuité du protocole, sa parfaite adaptation au caractère ambulatoire des interventions au cabinet et sa conformité au respect des recommandations européennes sont autant d'avantages qui imposent la technique de sédation consciente au protoxyde d'azote aux praticiens soucieux de la prise en charge globale de leurs patients.
