This is the official RU-vid channel for NHS Devon Clinical Integrated Care Board . We are the organisation responsible for the majority of county’s NHS budget, and develops a plan to improve people’s health, deliver high-quality care and better value for money.
Our aim is to improve people’s lives in Devon - wherever they live - to reduce health inequalities and make sure we can deliver these services for the long term.
Things definitely need to start moving within the great big table and timeframes agreed. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians for want of a better term.
Could I just say that you all seem far more concerned with the gently, gently approach within the meeting. Do you have Figures please? Sadly patients should be the focus of the meeting rather than cost improvement…?
Harassment comes in many forms. It can quickly escalate from verbal to physical unless it is dealt with quickly and investigated and noted on any system.
Everyone has the right to feel safe on a mental health ward. Violence can flare up at any time when people with various degrees of mental health are confined in the same space. I have known junior staff to turn a blind eye and actually joke with individuals threatening other patients.
I would like to bring to your attention the serious failure in the 18 week waiting list as a guideline maximum for patients seeking non urgent secondary treatment. Why is this failing so badly please?
Thank you for your Video I smoked from 1990 to a month ago and I was warned about 8 months ago to quit and progressed worse and worse I smoked up to 40 a day and I almost could not breath a month ago I woke up at 02:30 in the morning grasping for air as I could not breath and then decided to quit it's extremely hard but I have given up for a month so far and still fighting it as I decided I don't want to die at 50 as I am almost 48 now. I made the decision that I want to live and not die at the age of 50 as my lungs was very bad as the hospital adviced me it's time now to quit smoking. So I went cold turkey and still fighting the withdraw it's extremely hard but doing it. Thank you very much for the video
Good! The transparency, supported by mostly clear audio, is very welcome. One suggestion: before starting, absolutely ban smartphone distraction. Busy thumbs (and what looked like glances at the clock) all too visible!
Glad I didn't get one of those.. In good health WITHOUT the vaccination that your NHS said I should have.. Not fit for purpose, disinformation at best..
It's not meant to seam easy or hard. We all will have our own journey and demons. Write down the 4 steps to quitting. 1. Contemplation of choosing to quit. 2 Preparation, trying to get ready to quit. 3 Action, the actual quitting part. 4. Maintaining- remaining a non-smoker, while always remembering the efforts ( 50-100 days of hard work ) that get thrown away when having to start over. It takes 3 days for nicotine to leave your system, so don't struggle with those methods that keep feeding you nicotine, constantly maxing out your cravings. Cravings will pass in like 5 to 10 minutes, just don't give in to them. When cravings come take many deep breaths over and over, as though you were dragging deep on a cigarette but all you get is lungs full of fresh air. Find hard candies that you like, chewing gum, chew on a piece of straw, what ever it takes to get you through. Also keep in mind that even if you have to start over, it's way better than failing.
This doctor deserves a gold medal. He was the only doctor that helped me when all the others threw me from pillar to post and didn't want me under their duty of care during a point in my life where I felt that there was no way forward that wasn't going to end in suicide. This man is the reason I am still alive today and it is such a great loss that he is no longer a GP at the surgery I attend.
Ive been smoking for 20 years now. I have all sort of stomach issues from it and I feel like crap most of the time. I am giving up in 2 days. Wish me luck
All we can do is hope for the best. Maybe he'll come back with another update at some point but normally when you've escaped a death trap for that long you never look back. And if you give in again one day then it only gives you that much more motivation to leave it behind for good the next time you do
I gave up alcohol 6 weeks ago when I was in hospital, I quit smoking while I was in, done 2 weeks and relapsed today I cut up a whole pack of cigarettes to small pieces and cut up the box they were in, it was so satisfying, shoved a patch on my bum and not smoked all day. I have done it for my health.
I'm on day 52 and smoked for 42 years around 35 cigarettes a day. I can't wait until I no longer miss it. Even after more than 7 weeks it gives you a missing hollow feeling, cravings about 30 times a day and methods of cooping with the cravings. I started with hard candy, working my way up to deep breaths as though I was inhaling a bunch of fresh air. I expect it to continue to get a little easier as I go, time will tell.
Due to a technical issue, the second half of the board meeting is available on a separate link - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OPZpeqkeuKg.html
