Download or read book Department of Health The Government Response To The House Of Commons Health Committee Third Report Of Session 2013 14 After Francis Making A Difference CM 8755 written by Great Britain: Department of Health and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust Public Inquiry, led by Robert Francis QC, probed a culture where complacency pervaded, poor standards of care were allowed to persist, patients were harmed, and staff who tried to speak out were ignored or punished. Patients First and Foremost (Cm. 8576, ISBN 9780101857628), set out the initial response of England's health and social care system to the Inquiry report and outlined a radical plan to end decades of complacency. In the eight months since that initial response a great deal has changed, including: the Care Quality Commission has appointed three Chief Inspectors of hospitals, adult social care and primary care; the Chief Inspector of Hospitals has begun a first wave of inspections of 18 Trusts; and the Care Quality Commission has consulted on a new system of ratings with patient care and safety at its heart. These national measures are important steps in making an irreversible change to the culture of England's health and care system so that the toleration of poor care can never again be a reality in the NHS. This response to the Health Select Committee's report (HC 657, session 2013-14, ISBN 9780215062345) answers the questions raised, and seeks to describe how the Government intends to build on the rapid early progress. It is published alongside, and reflects, the Government's full response to the Inquiry (Cm. 8754, ISBN 9780101875424) which responds to all 290 of the Inquiry's recommendations. The overwhelming majority of these are accepted.
Download or read book HC 350 Complaints and Raising Concerns written by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Health Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2015 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of those who complain about NHS services do not seek financial redress. They do so because they wish to have their concerns and experiences understood and for any failings to be acknowledged and put right so that others do not suffer the same avoidable harm. Where such errors occur, patients and their families deserve to be met with a system which is open to complaints, supports them through the process and which delivers a timely apology, explanation and a determination to learn from mistakes. The current system for complaints handling however, remains variable. Too many complaints are mishandled with people encountering poor communication or at worst, a defensive and complicated system which results in a complete breakdown in trust and a failure to improve patient safety. The Committee welcomes the progress made since their last report, but in this, the Committee's final report on complaints and concerns in this Parliament, an overview is set out of the developments and recommendations to date as well as those expected in 2015. The Committee also makes a number of recommendations where further action is required.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book analyses the institutions of the European financial market supervision and the challenges of financial markets. The current European supervisory structure for financial markets represents a major development in European supervisory history. Its operation however has to be explored and analysed critically. Has it gone far enough to provide a sufficiently comprehensive and resilient system to reduce or mitigate systemic risks and handle financial crises? Some claim it has gone too far already. Fresh and rigorous critical legal and economic analysis from an independent scholarly perspective are needed to assess whether the institutional design of the European supervisory architecture has proved itself to be an efficient and effective model. This book discusses many dimensions of the structure and workings of the European system from various angles providing different dimensions. The book makes an important contribution to the limited literature on financial market supervision.

Download or read book Vocational Education and Training in Times of Economic Crisis written by Matthias Pilz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a broad range of approaches and methodologies relevant to international comparative vocational education and training (VET). Revealing how youth in transition is affected by economic crises, it provides essential insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the various systems and prospects of VET in contexts ranging from North America to Europe, (e.g. Spain, Germany or the UK) to Asia (such as China, Thailand and India). Though each country examined in this volume is affected by the economic crisis in a different way, the effects are especially apparent for the young generation. In many countries the youth unemployment rate is still very high and the job perspectives for young people are often limited at best. The contributions in this volume demonstrate that VET alone cannot solve these problems, but can be used to support a smooth transition from school to work. If the quality of VET is high and the status and job expectations are good, VET can help to fill the skills gap, especially at the intermediate skill level. Furthermore, VET can also offer a realistic alternative to the university track for young people in many countries.
Download or read book Social Innovation in Higher Education written by Carmen Păunescu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book offers unique and novel views on the social innovation landscape, tools, practices, pedagogies, and research in the context of higher education. International, multi-disciplinary academics and industry leaders present new developments, research evidence, and practice expertise on social innovation in higher education institutions (HEIs), across academic and professional disciplines. The book includes a selected set of peer-reviewed chapters presenting different perspectives against which relevant actors can identify and analyse social innovation in HEIs. The volume demonstrates how HEIs can respond to societal challenges, support positive social change, and contribute to the development of international public policy discourse. It answers the question ‘how does the present higher education system, in different countries, promote social innovation and create social change and impact’. In answering this question, the book identifies factors driving success as well as obstacles. Furthermore, it examines how higher education innovation assists societal challenges and investigates the benefits of effective social innovation engagement by HEIs. The interdisciplinary approach of the volume makes it a must-read for scholars, students, policy-makers, and practitioners of economics, education, business and management, political science, and sociology interested in a better understanding of social innovation.
