Northern Ireland Rare Diseases Implementation Plan launched, 29 October The Health Minister has announced, as a key action from this, a £3.3 million investment to create a Northern Ireland Genomics Medicine Centre (NIGMC) that will provide earlier and more accurate diagnosis for patients with rare diseases, and will improve treatment and care of cancer patients; NI becomes the first devolved nation to join the 100,000 Genomes Project, offering equity of access to genomic medicine – at least 80% of rare diseases have an identified genetic component, with 50% of new cases identified in children http://www.dhsspsni.gov.uk/final-rare-diseases-implementation-plan.pdf NMC introduces tougher language testing To date, the NMC has been testing English language skills of applicants wanting to join the UK register from outside the European Economic Area; from 18 January 2016, anyone not from the UK will be asked to submit proof of competence in reading, writing, listening and speaking – as a public protection and patient safety measure http://www.nmc.org.uk/news/news-and-updates/new-language-requirements-for-eu-nurses-and-midwives/ NHS England introduces mandatory reporting of FGM Guidance has been produced to support healthcare professionals in the duty – mandatory in England and Wales from 31 October 2015 – of reporting to the police any cases of female genital mutilation (FGM), in girls under 18, that they come across in the course of their work https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fgm-mandatory-reporting-in-healthcare

PAPYRUS website (Prevention of young suicide, UK) Every year, in the UK, more than 1600 young people take their own lives, with many more contemplating suicide or self-harming, reluctant to speak openly about how they feel; PAPYRUS exists to give young people hope and to prevent young suicide, providing confidential support and advice to young people and anyone worried about them, as well as a national helpline – HOPELineUK – staffed by a team of mental health professionals; it also trains professionals, works to influence national policy, and raises awareness in schools, colleges, universities, community groups, prisons and other networks https://www.papyrus-uk.org/ Global standards for quality health care services for adolescents WHO, 2015. Adolescents (10 – 19 years) constitute a unique group, developing rapidly – both physically and emotionally – but often dependent on parents or guardians; existing health services often fail adolescents, who are particularly vulnerable to certain health issues, and who often develop behaviours and conditions which have lifelong impact; more than 25 low- and middle-income countries have already adopted national standards for this area of their health services; these new WHO global standards are built on research from these countries, plus feedback from health providers and adolescents worldwide, and provide simple yet powerful improvement measures which all countries can implement immediately http://www.who.int/maternal_child_adolescent/documents/global-standards-adolescent-care/en/ National audit of inpatient falls. Audit report Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership, 2015. ISBN 978-1-86016-565-8. More than 240,000 falls are reported in acute hospitals and mental health trusts in England and Wales every year – a figure which represents over 600 falls a day; this report – the first national audit in England and Wales – recommends, among other measures, that lying and standing blood pressure of older patients should be rigorously monitored and recorded, and that there should be regular checks to ensure that call bells and walking aids are easily visible to, and within reach of, patients https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/projects/outputs/naif-audit-report-2015

UPDATES, KEY PUBLICATIONS, EVENTS Jenny’s Diary Free resource aimed at health practitioners and families, and designed to help people with a learning disability understand their diagnosis of dementia; there is, currently, limited guidance on how to explain dementia to such individuals and Jenny’s Diary – developed at the enhanced dementia practice level of the Promoting Excellence education framework in Scotland, and funded by the Alzheimer’s Society – is an attempt to address this; recognising differences in terminology, and potentially different ways of using the resource, there are both UK and non-UK versions, and three download options http://www.uws.ac.uk/jennysdiary/ PATCH (Palliation and the Caring Hospital) A Scottish initiative, launched in October, PATCH is the first charity specifically to support and identify ways to deliver 24/7 specialist end-of-life care for hospital patients; this will be achieved by providing funding so that hospitals can provide, for example, dedicated beds, staff, advisory services and research to help the many hospital patients who have pain or complex symptoms, but who do not currently have access to a palliative care specialist http://www.patchscotland.com/

Regress? React? Resolve? An evaluation of mental health service provision in Northern Ireland. Report prepared for Action Mental Health by Queen’s University, Belfast. Wilson, G. et al. AMH and Queen’s University, Belfast, 2015. It is estimated that one in five people in Northern Ireland has a mental health problem – a higher prevalence than in other parts of the UK, or Ireland – and this is now regarded as one of the four most significant causes of ill health and disability here, along with cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, and cancer; focusing primarily on adult mental health services, the Evaluation Team surveyed the opinions of staff and service users, reviewed current mental health policy, funding, services and recent research literature http://pure.qub.ac.uk/portal/files/17051927/Regress_React_Resolve.pdf Cancer and Nutrition. NIHR infrastructure collaboration. Improving cancer prevention and care. For patients. For Clinicians. For researchers. Summary Report of Phase One, July 2015, University of Southampton & University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust. ISBN: 9780854329885. This report, based on surveys conducted with patients and clinicians, indicates that cancer patients are not getting the nutritional support they need and that healthcare professionals lack the evidence necessary to provide clear guidance; summary (in advance of full report) can be accessed at http://cancerandnutrition.nihr.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/CancerNutrition-Summary-Report-28.10.15.pdf The 2015 Quality of Death Index Ranking palliative care across the world. A report by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) The Economist Intelligence Unit Limited, 2015. This study compares the quality of end-of-life care across the world, ranking the UK first due to comprehensive national policies, widespread integration of palliative care into health services, a strong hospice movement, and deep community engagement; based on extensive research and interviews with over 120 world experts in palliative care, findings show that, while much has improved, dying needs to be more widely viewed as a normal process, with services to enhance quality of life for dying patients and their families http://www.economistinsights.com/sites/default/files/2015%20Quality%20of%20Death%20Index%20Oct%207%20FINAL.pdf

An economic assessment of innovations made within the community nurse specialist team at St Richard’s Hospice Gibson, V., Community Nursing Services Manager, St Richard’s Hospice, Worcester, September 2015. Faced with increased demand, the author undertook a comprehensive service redesign, exploring the economic impact of a number of innovative interventions; these included the development of a telephone triage role, a single, 24/7 point of contact for all patients and proactive caseload management – changes which cost very little but which, among other benefits, enable community Clinical Nurse Specialists to devote more time to caring for patients with the most complex needs http://www.rcn.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/640505/Case-Study-Vanessa-Gibson-Delivering-a-responsive-and-effective-specialist-community-palliative-care-service-in-an-environment-of-change.pdf

Northern Ireland Cancer Patient Experience Survey 2015 – All Trusts Report Public Health Agency and Macmillan Cancer Support, October 2015. This report, the first of its kind in Northern Ireland, sought feedback from patients and their families on the full range of services they received during cancer treatment and care; while there is always room for improvement, the majority of survey responses indicated that people’s experience of cancer care was excellent or very good https://www.quality-health.co.uk/resources/surveys/northern-ireland-cancer-patient-experience-survey/northern-ireland-cancer-patient-experience-survey-1/2015-northern-ireland-cancer-patient-experience-survey/northern-ireland-cancer-patient-experience-survey-reports/702-2015-ni-cancer-patient-experience-survey-all-trusts-report/file Exploring the attitudes and behaviours of older people living with cancer Research conducted by Ipsos MORI on behalf of Macmillan Cancer Support Ipsos MORI, 2015. This research explores the patient attitudes and behaviours that can impact on cancer treatment and patient experience – which in turn, may affect outcomes; misconceptions about the risk of cancer and eligibility for screening may impact upon early diagnosis efforts and should be addressed; although older people believe that age discrimination does exist, they are more likely than younger people to trust health professionals, and are no more likely to choose not to have treatment or to be concerned about its consequences http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Documents/Campaigns/AttitudesofolderpeoplelivingwithcancerAugust15.pdf Wall of feedback reflects great patient experience Staff on Ward 2 of Grantham and District Hospital, United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, have created a feedback wall in their day room to showcase comments from patients about their care; each piece of feedback is recorded onto a cloud shape and arranged around a rainbow, decorating the room and providing a real boost for staff, who have described the comments as “better than chocolate!” http://www.ulh.nhs.uk/news_and_events/news_releases/2015/15073%20Grantham%20hospital%20showcases%20great%20patient%20experience.pdf
