Inactive things

The Generation Inactive report is an analysis of the UK's childhood inactivity epidemic and tangible solutions to get children moving.
In response to the report, Prof Russell Viner from the RCPCH said
“At a time where children should be at their most active, it’s concerning that half of seven year olds are not doing the recommended one hour of physical activity that’s advised each day – the Generation Inactive report is a welcome reminder that more must be done to improve the health of our nation’s children.   The report can be read here

Things branded as healthy

"Healthy snacks could do more harm than good" say researchers from universities in Munich & Pennsylvania.

This research was a series of randomised controlled trials to investigate the effect of fitness branding on restrained eaters’ food consumption and post-consumption exercise.

The report showed that while some may have restrained from eating, say, 500 calories in the shape of crisps, they could then end up consuming a similar amount in muesli. Read about this on NHS Choices

Protective things for summer

Do you know your UVB from your UVA and what exactly is SPF?A Royal Pharmaceutical Society survey into sunscreen use has revealed a worrying lack of understanding about the degree of sun protection different products provide.
In particular, many are unaware that the SPF rating alone displayed in sunscreen labelling does not guarantee good all round protection from potential sun damage. see here for an explanation

Safe things - our children?

"The most comprehensive overview of child protection in the UK."

This report from the NSPCC compiles and analyses the most robust and up-to-date child protection data that exists across the 4 nations in the UK for 2015  Read the report here

Things from NICE
New guideline on Bronchiolitis in children
Bronchiolitis is the most common disease of the lower respiratory tract during the first year of life. The management of bronchiolitis depends on the severity of the illness. The guideline covers children with bronchiolitis but not those with other respiratory conditions, such as recurrent viral induced wheeze or asthma.

Costs of autism spectrum disorders
From NICE Eyes on Evidence comes this analysis of data in existing literature estimated that the lifetime direct and indirect costs associated with a person with an autism spectrum disorder in the UK was £1.5 million for those who also had an intellectual disability and £0.92 million for those without intellectual disability, although the range of costs was considerable.

Summer picnic?

This brief spell of nice weather feels like summer at last - although the forecast for the weekend is not so good. If forced to stay indoors I can recommend making these Raspberry & pine nut bars..and they must be healthy as they have fresh fruit and porridge oats in them..yes?

Things in the library 1st Jun

New things for clinical audit

NICE is developing a new tool to help health and social care organisations audit the improvements they are making to their services. It is part of a redesign of the audit support NICE provides.
"We have changed our approach to audit support to focus on NICE quality standards, as the statements they contain are designed to drive measurable service improvements," said Sally Chisholm, NICE’s programme director for adoption and impact.
The package of support is in its final stages of development and the first tool will be available this summer.   See the news article  here

Things for Health Care Assistants

First Steps for HCAs has been developed as a programme for self-directed learning. It maps to a range of National Occupational Standards that can be printed off in the form of an assessment checklist that could form the basis of a portfolio of learning. Find the competency checklist, assessment quiz and reflective diary here.

Challenging things

In a challenge to the new Government, the RCPCH sets out what it believes needs to be done in the first 100 days to ensure the UK delivers high quality, effective child health services - and that child health is high on the political agenda.

The paper calls on the new Government to define a cross-departmental Child Health Strategy, agree measurable targets to evaluate progress, and appoint a Children’s Minister to coordinate and direct integration across health, education, and social care.

Apologies for a lack of communication recently. We have been 'a woman down' for the past 3 weeks so Sarah and Gill are trying to keep services going without too much disruption. We wish Kate a speedy recovery and hope to see her back in the library soon.

Things for the future

Things about person centred, coordinated care
'My life, my support, my choice' is a narrative report on children and young people with complex lives, from their perspective and that of the people who are important to them. Commissioners and providers are encouraged to use this document as a tool to have their own conversations with children and young people about their lives, their dreams and goals, and the way they want to be supported.It is hoped that it may empower children & young people and those around them to challenge their local services, to start conversations with them, and get involved in designing services and support.
