To illustrate what this means day-to-day, there's a trust that uses roughly 25 million pages of A4 paper each year. In 2023, this is a bizarre reality. The government launched the NHS's digital transformation almost five years ago in the 'Long Term Plan'. That same year, Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced that email should replace paper and fax machines in hospitals. Yet, according to a Health and Social Care Committee report earlier this year, parts of the NHS lack even 'the most basic functioning IT equipment'. The report referred to the health service's progress as '

A new satellite clinic run by the Department of Veteran Affairs in East Tampa's Sabal Park is open for veterans to get primary care, mental health support and other services. It's part of a growing partnership between the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense. Officials from both agencies celebrated the Sabal Park clinic's grand opening during a ceremony on Monday. In the last year, the VA reported nearly 33,000 veterans in Florida signed up for health care. Many of them live in the Tampa Bay region, which has one of the largest veteran populations in the U.S. "It is always a challenge to have capacity meet that ever-growing demand, but it is our obligation to catch up to that demand as much as possible," Dr. Shereef Elnahal, VA Under Secretary for Health, said at the event.

Respite Center The Philip Dorn Respite Center, located in Concord, is a respite care program for homeless adults who are discharged from local hospitals and require medical stabilization services. Respite care refers to recuperative services for those homeless persons who may not meet medical criteria for hospitalization, but are too sick or medically vulnerable to reside in an emergency shelter and cannot be returned to the streets. The primary goal of this program and all emergency housing programs is to get homeless persons off the street and help them achieve their highest level of self-sufficiency. This program is a joint effort between Health Care for the Homeless and the Division of Health, Housing & Homeless Services. Criteria for admissions Clients are only admitted when discharged from a hospital/health center or skilled nursing facility. Walk-ins are not accepted. Additional criteria include: Must be at least 18 years old. Must be homeless or lack

This meant that whatever was causing the outbreak was likely new. Within a year, more than a dozen states across the U.S., from California to Florida, found similar illnesses in their dogs. "We trust our colleagues, and so we went after it," says Needle. As part of the effort to identify the cause,   graduate student Lawrence Gordon at the University of New Hampshire's Hubbard Center for Genome Studies began digging deeper into the data. His analysis revealed a small segment of DNA that showed up in 21 out of 30 samples taken from symptomatic pooches in New Hampshire — a "pretty significant" proportion, according to Needle. Curiously, the DNA appears to belong to a previously undescribed bacterium, which is most closely related to "a strange bacteria that's got a really small genome," called Mycoplasma , he says. For Hungry Minds In 2023, the team widened their testing to include samples from dogs in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the lat

Healthcare workers in tropical and sub-tropical settings where strongyloidiasis is prevalent or caring for patients who have travelled to such areas, need to maintain a high level of awareness about the use of corticosteroids, including when this class of anti-inflammatories is given to patients suspected of infection with SARS-CoV-2. Strongyloidiasis - a parasitic worm infection – is estimated to affect millions of people and is associated with marginalized communities who often walk barefoot. While it is frequently subclinical, immunosuppression resulting from diseases such as AIDS, lymphoma and leukemia or from continued use of corticosteroids can convert it into a severe and deadly "hyperinfection" syndrome. Risks in an era of COVID-19 The current COVID-19 pandemic serves to highlight the risk of using systemic corticosteroids and, to a lesser extent, other immunosuppressive therapy, in populations with significant risk of underlying strongyloidiasis. Cases of s

The Stony Brook School of Social Welfare (SSW) recently hosted an open house luncheon in honor of Social Work Month to celebrate and honor  the remarkable contributions and profound impact  of all of the dedicated  social workers at Stony Brook University, Stony Brook University Hospital and the Long Island State Veterans Home. The event, held in March, included 175 social workers from around campus who were invited to join the faculty and staff from SSW for lunch and networking.   The theme for Social Work Month 2024 was "Empowering Social Workers." " It was wonderful to meet students and faculty and learn more about their important work," said Interim Ex
