Things about medical devices...
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency have published information and guidance for users and patients on a range of medical devices.




Things about the digital future in healthcare...

The Topol Review is an independent report, on behalf of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and is now published. It makes recommendations that will enable NHS staff to make the most of innovative technologies such as genomics, digital medicine, artificial intelligence and robotics to improve services. These recommendations support the aims of the NHS Long-Term Plan, and the workforce implementation plan, helping to ensure a sustainable NHS.

Things about urgent care ...
If you live in Sheffield you might want to give your views to the commissioners about possible changes to urgent care in Sheffield. There is more information and a link to an online survey.


Things to watch in Sheffield...
On Friday 22 February, over Endcliffe Park, Sheffield will look to the skies to see a unique flyover of US and Royal Air Force aircraft – to mark 75 years since the Mi Amigo disaster. The whole city is rallying behind Tony Foulds, who has been tending the Mi Amigo memorial for many years after witnessing the crash of this aircraft as a child. The BBC will be broadcasting live from the park from around 6am to 9.15am on the morning of the 22 February. However, there is no need to arrive at this time. People are encouraged to arrive at the park from around 7.15am. A memorial service will take place from around 8am with the flypast set to follow at 8.45am. The best viewing area will be in the large field close to the Endcliffe Park café, which will be serving teas and refreshments. A big screen will be there to relay events to the crowd.  It is worth checking weather forecasts and local radio announcements prior to the flypast. The flypast may not take place in extreme weather conditions. If you travel to work in the vicinity of Endcliffe park be prepared for disruption.

Things to eat...
It's half term next week so if you are looking for something simple to make with the children how about Nutty chocolate crunch or some home-made pizza.
