FCEs are counted against the year in which they end. Figures do not represent the number of different patients, as a person may have more than one episode of care within the same stay in hospital or in different stays in the same year.</p><p><sup>2 </sup>The number of episodes where the procedure (or intervention) was recorded in any of the 24 (12 from 2002-03 to 2006-07 and 4 prior to 2002-03) procedure fields in a HES record. A record is only included once in each count, even if the procedure is recorded in more than one procedure field of the record. It should be noted that more procedures are carried out than episodes with a main or secondary procedure. For example, patients undergoing a ‘cataract operation’ would tend to have at least two procedures – removal of the faulty lens and the fitting of a new one – counted in a single episode.</p><p><sup>3 </sup>Included in the codes are for both partial and total joint replacements as well as conversion and revision codes. The ‘Conversion to’ codes provided in this resolution (e.g. W40.2) are assigned when the procedure has converted to the specified type of joint replacement from a different type of joint replacement. Examples could include conversion to a cemented total shoulder replacement following previous partial shoulder replacement or conversion to a total shoulder replacement following a previous uncemented shoulder replacement. This principle would apply to all ‘Conversion to’ prosthetic joint procedures provided. The ‘Conversion to’ codes could be considered ‘revisions’ in clinical terms, and you may wish to include these codes in your data search.</p><p><sup>4 </sup>A range of OPCS codes covering knee replacements, hemiarthroplasty knees, unicomparmental knee replacements, hip replacements, hemiarthroplasty hips, shoulder replacements and hemiarthroplasty shoulder have been included.</p><p><sup>5 </sup>HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes in National Health Service practice. For example, apparent reductions in activity may be due to a number of procedures which may now be undertaken in outpatient settings and so no longer include in admitted patient HES data. Conversely, apparent increases in activity may be due to improved recording of diagnosis or procedure information. It should be noted that HES include activity ending in the year in question and run from April to March, e.g. 2012-13 includes activity ending between 1 April 2012 and 31 March 2013.</p>

No applications have been refused under this scheme to date and over 170 of these local staff, along with their immediate families, have been successfully relocated to the UK so far. In addition to the redundancy scheme we have our Intimidation Policy, where staff can contact a dedicated team based in Kabul for support if they are being intimidated because of their work with British Forces. Under this scheme individuals do not apply for relocation to the UK; they provide us with information about their case which is then investigated thoroughly. Appropriate mitigation measures are provided to the local staff member, which can include bespoke security advice, relocation within Afghanistan, and in certain cases, relocation to the UK.</p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>On 1 August 2017 the Government changed the education funding system for nursing students. The move to bring the funding of pre-registration nursing degrees into line with other undergraduate courses, through the student support system, removed the ‘cap’ which fixed an envelope of Government funding for fees and bursaries.</p><p> </p><p>Nursing students now have access to the standard student support system. This change will mean that students will typically receive around 25% more up front living cost support whilst studying than on the bursary system.</p><p> </p><p>In addition students will have access to non repayable grants for child dependents, reimbursment of travel and dual accommodation costs whilst attending clinical placements and an exceptional support fund.</p><p> </p><p>To facilitate expansion, additional Clinical Placement funding was announced by the Department in August and October 2017. This enables around 5,000 more nursing students to enter training each year to 2020/21, representing a 25% increase over the number of nursing students in 2016/17.</p><p> </p><p>Developing new routes into nursing is a priority for the Department. The Department has developed the Nursing Degree Apprenticeship and the new Nursing Associate role which will open up more opportunities to train as a nurse for those already working in the National Health Service or those for whom full-time university is not a realistic option.</p>

unstar this property answer text <p>Configuration of services is a matter for the local National Health Service, but it is important for providers to ensure that the maternity workforce has the right skills to provide high quality maternity care at all times. Local trusts need to look carefully at the mix of their patient load, risk profile and staffing to decide the appropriate consultant presence for their particular unit. We have committed to ensure that by 2020, seven days a week there is sufficient consultant cover to assess and review patients who are admitted in an emergency (including specifically in obstetrics and pediatrics), access to all urgent diagnostic tests and consultant cover for key interventions.</p><p> </p><p>At the request of the Department and NHS England, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published guidelines in February 2015 on safe midwifery staffing in units led by midwives (both alongside hospitals and free-standing), and all other maternity settings, including at home, in the community, in day assessment units, and in obstetric units. It aims to improve maternity care by giving advice on monitoring staffing levels and actions to take if there are not enough midwives to meet the needs of women and babies in the service.</p><p> </p><p>The full NICE guidance is available at:</p><p><a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng4" target="_blank">https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng4</a></p><p>The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) produced guidance on implementing the NICE staffing guideline on midwifery staffing in maternity settings in November 2016.

unstar this property answer text <p>On 13 September 2017, NHS England published two key documents to support improved treatment in cases of sepsis in hospitals:</p><p>- The second ‘Cross-system Sepsis Action Plan’ outlines the activities and outputs of the Cross-System Sepsis Programme Board over the next 12 months; and</p><p>- The ‘Sepsis guidance implementation advice for adults’ will further support frontline staff in the practical implementation of the 2016 National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline on the recognition, management and early diagnosis of sepsis.</p><p> </p><p>Also in September 2017, NICE published a Quality Standard to identify further quality improvement areas for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, through the national Commissioning for Quality and Innovation (CQUIN) scheme, NHS England has made significant improvements in screening and timely treatment of patients with sepsis.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s ambition to halve healthcare associated Gram-negative bloodstream infections (BSIs) by 2020/21 will also contribute to reductions in sepsis, as patients with Gram-negative BSIs may go on to develop sepsis.</p><p> </p><p>In June 2017, the National Quality Board endorsed the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) for use in the acute sector and ambulance services. NEWS provides an appropriate framework for measuring key physiological variables (temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, level of consciousness, oxygen saturation, blood pressure) and for risk stratification in adults in acute care, including patients with sepsis.</p>

unstar this property answer text <p>Data is not held centrally for individuals that have been diagnosed with leg ulcers in the United Kingdom.</p><p> </p><p>Data is available on the count of finished admission episodes (FAEs) with a primary diagnosis of ulcers of the lower limb and lower extremities, for patients in England.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>FAEs</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>15,130</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>17,156</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>17,667</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015-16</p></td><td><p>19,737</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016-17</p></td><td><p>19,484</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Activity in English National Health Service Hospitals and English NHS commissioned activity in the independent sector</p><p>Source: Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), NHS Digital</p><p> </p><p>Notes:</p><p>1. FAE</p><p>An FAE is the first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. FAEs are counted against the year or month in which the admission episode finishes. Admissions do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the period.</p><p> </p><p>2. Primary diagnosis</p><p>The primary diagnosis is the first of up to 20 (14 from 2002-03 to 2006-07 and seven prior to 2002-03) diagnosis fields in the HES data set and provides the main reason why the patient was admitted to hospital.</p><p> </p><p>3. ICD10 Codes</p><p> </p><p>The following ICD10 codes were used to identify ulcers of the lower limb and lower extremities:</p><p>L97.X Ulcer of lower limb, not elsewhere classified</p><p>I83.0 Varicose veins of lower extremities with ulcer</p><p>I83.2 Varicose veins of lower extremities with both ulcer and inflammation</p><p> </p><p>4. Assessing growth through time (Admitted patient care)</p><p>HES figures are available from 1989-90 onwards. Changes to the figures over time need to be interpreted in the context of improvements in data quality and coverage (particularly in earlier years), improvements in coverage of independent sector activity (particularly from 2006-07) and changes in NHS practice. For example, apparent reductions in activity may be due to a number of procedures which may now be undertaken in outpatient settings and so no longer include in admitted patient HES data. Conversely, apparent increases in activity may be due to improved recording of diagnosis or procedure information.</p><p>It should be noted that HES include activity ending in the year in question and run from April to March, e.g. 2015-16 includes activity ending between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2016.</p>
