Stay Alert About Sepsis
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body has an extreme reaction to an infection. Like falling dominoes, sepsis triggers a rapid escalation of problems that can lead to tissue damage, organ failure and death if not treated in time. Each year, about 1.7 million people in the United States develop sepsis, and approximately 350,000 of those people die, according to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Government ‘should do more to help women facing abuse in cost-of-living crisis’
Frontline specialist services such as refuges are facing “spiralling” energy prices which have exacerbated the “hugely uncertain and unsustainable funding picture that the sector has contended with for over a decade”, the End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW) said.

Report into handling of rape cases finds ‘explicit victim blaming’ and disbelief
Other serving officers do not think addressing rape and other sexual offences should be a priority for policing, while some believed most rape reports are instances of “regretful sex”. It comes as the Government claimed that “significant progress” is being made in how the criminal justice system responds to cases of rape, 18 months on from the summer 2021 rape review.
Victim blaming by police officers is harming rape investigations, report finds
The study, which examined 80,000 rape reports in five police forces, noted that while those officers were in the minority, they “intentionally or inadvertently” block progression and “influence how new officers are socialised into rape and serious sexual offences work”. The report found “great variability within police forces in terms of officer attitudes beliefs, customs and social behaviour” to rape and sexual violence.
It’s time for an effective response to violence against women and girls – LabourList
Nicole Smallman. Bibaa Henry. Sarah Everard. Julia James. We have all learned the names of these women over the past year since their tragic murders. They are not alone: more than 100 women have been killed by men since the start of the year. And whilst the government has promised to take action to ensure women no longer have to live in fear of assault, harassment and abuse, many of the measures announced this year have instilled little confidence with women’s groups.

Hospital Impact—Providers must help patients navigate delivery system changes | FierceHealthcare
I have a healthcare client who is being encouraged, even pressed, to shift her patients out of hospital-based services to community-based delivery options—affecting everything from the best place for same-day surgery to where to get an X-ray.

Hospital Impact: How to build execution into your new strategy | FierceHealthcare
