    Collecting feedback on the care provided to bereaved families and carers following the death of a child or young person is of critical importance to improving bereavement care. Whilst some local healthcare systems have well-established mechanisms and questionnaires for collecting such feedback, many have indicated that they do not and would value guidance in this area.

    Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is responsible for over 25,000 deaths a year in the UK, including 10% of hospital inpatient deaths. A House of Commons report in 2005 led to the development of guidance by the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA), the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the Chief Medical Officer, for the safe use of anticoagulants and other measures to prevent VTE (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism). VTE prevention is a patient safety priority for the National Health Service (NHS).

    Technology is often viewed as either positive or negative. On one hand weight loss apps are usually seen as a positive influence on users. From the sociocultural perspective, on the other hand, media and technology can negatively impact body satisfaction and contribute to eating disorders; however, these studies fail to include weight loss apps. While these apps can be beneficial to users, they can also have negative effects on users with eating disorder behaviours. Yet few research studies have looked at weight loss apps in relation to eating disorders. In order to fill this gap,these researchers conducted interviews with 16 women with a history of eating disorders who use(d) weight loss apps. While findings suggest these apps can contribute to and exacerbate eating disorder behaviours, they also reveal a more complex picture of app usage. Women’s use and perceptions of weight loss apps shift as they experience life and move to and from stages of change. This research troubles the binary view of technology and emphasises the importance of looking at technology use as a dynamic process. This study contributes to the understanding of weight loss app design.

    This is part 1 of a series of blogs on end of life care planning and people with learning disabilities. This is a tricky subject as there seems to be confusion on the language. What's the difference between an end of life plan and a funeral plan? Should these plans be for young and old - well and unwell? What does the CQC say? This blog, by Irene Tuffrey-Wijne, Professor of Intellectual Disability and Palliative Care at St Georges NHS Foundation Trust, should give you some of these answers.

    Serenity Integrated Mentoring (SIM) is a new program being introduced in London aimed at improving coping mechanisms and reducing emergency service use in High Intensity Service Users (HISUs). In this feasibility study, Anokhina et al. an evaluation of SIM effectiveness was assessed using demographic data. Three SIM boroughs (Greenwich, Camden and Islington) were compared with a non-SIM borough (Enfield) on emergency service use and costs in the 12 months prior to SIM and 9 months after. Qualitative interviews were conducted with SIM practitioners and service users. They found hat service users did attend A&E less, and were being arrested less, but this was true for both SIM and non-SIM participants. The economic analysis also showed that, at this stage, we cannot see any cost savings to service use yet. These results are something we expected because of the small scale of the study. However, we found that the quality of the data that is recorded by emergency services would allow us to carry out a full-scale study which would give us clearer answers

    StopSIM is a coalition of mental health service users and allies who have grave concerns about the rapid, widespread rollout of the High Intensity Network’s ‘Serenity Integrated Mentoring’ (SIM) intervention across NHS England. The intervention is designed for people who have not committed a crime, but are in contact with mental health services, are frequently at high risk of suicide and self harm and are deemed “high intensity users” of emergency services. Key intervention components include a co-ordinated withholding of potentially life saving treatment by multiple agencies (A&E, mental health, ambulance and police services) and, using SIM’s own words, the “coercive” approach of a police officer as an interventionist.

    The Serenity Integrated Mentoring (SIM) model is described as "an innovative mental health workforce transformation model that brings together the police and community mental health services, in order to better support 'high intensity users' of Section 136 of the Mental Health Act (MHA) and public services." The SIM model is part of a 'High Intensity Network' (HIN) approach, which is now live in all south London boroughs. In this hub post, Steve Turner highlights the benefits and risks of this approach and seek your views on it.

    STOMP stands for stopping over medication of people with a learning disability, autism or both with psychotropic medicines. It is a national project involving many different organisations which are helping to stop the over use of these medicines. STOMP is about helping people to stay well and have a good quality of life. Psychotropic medicines affect how the brain works and include medicines for psychosis, depression, anxiety, sleep problems and epilepsy. Sometimes they are also given to people because their behaviour is seen as challenging. People with a learning disability, autism or both are more likely to be given these medicines than other people. These medicines are right for some people. They can help people stay safe and well. Sometimes there are other ways of helping people so they need less medicine or none at all.

    A 24/7 clinical tele-triage service for care homes in Wirral has resulted in an average 66% decrease in the number of NHS 111 calls and a 10% decrease in ambulance conveyances to A&E for care home residents. The service is delivered by all the area’s health and social care partners with funding support from the Innovation Agency. Care homes have been provided with iPads and secure nhs.net email addresses, and staff have been trained to take basic observations and equipped with blood pressure monitors, thermometers, urine dipsticks and oximeters.

    The Patients Included charters were created by Lucien Engelen in 2010. Fed up of hearing people talk about 'what the patient wants' at medical conferences where no patients were present, he decided he would no longer speak at or attend conferences where patients were not speaking, offered bursaries to attend or part of the organising committee. The charters provide organisations with a way to demonstrate their commitment to incorporating the experience and insight of patients into their organisations by ensuring that they are neither excluded nor exploited. The charters that have been published so far include: Conferences (v.1.0 May 2015) Journals (v.1.0 April 2016) Patient information resources (v.1.0 December 2016) Ethics (v.1.0 April 2018) The Patients Included logo can also be used by conferences who adopt the conference charter.

    The UK Standards for Public Involvement are designed to improve the quality and consistency of public involvement in research.  Developed over three years by a UK-wide partnership, the standards are a description of what good public involvement looks like and encourages approaches and behaviours that are the hallmark of good public involvement, such as flexibility, sharing and learning and respect for each other.  The standards are for everyone doing health or social care research and have been tested by over 40 individuals, groups and organisations during a year-long pilot programme. They provide guidance and reassurance for users working towards achieving their own best practice.
