Death’s Final Gate

Olivia Parker

Sinopse

"Death's Final Gate" presents a comprehensive exploration of modern end-of-life care, examining the delicate balance between medical ethics, patient dignity, and compassionate healthcare practices. This timely work tackles the challenging questions surrounding mortality in healthcare settings, offering insights into how medical professionals and families can navigate life's final chapter with both expertise and humanity.

 
The book uniquely weaves together three critical themes: the historical development of palliative care, contemporary euthanasia debates, and innovative approaches to compassionate care. Through evidence-based research and real-world case studies, it demonstrates how the integration of medical expertise with ethical considerations leads to better outcomes for all involved.

 
The work examines fascinating developments in end-of-life care, from the emergence of the 1960s hospice movement to current practices in pain management and family involvement protocols. Progressing through three main sections, the book first addresses medical aspects of end-of-life care, then analyzes global euthanasia policies, and concludes with innovative approaches to compassionate care.

 
Written in accessible language while maintaining academic rigor, it serves as an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals, policy makers, and informed readers seeking to understand the complexities of end-of-life care. The book's systematic analysis of international approaches and practical guidelines for developing care protocols makes it particularly relevant for those involved in healthcare decision-making and patient advocacy.

Critical: Why the NHS is being...

Dr Julia Grace Patterson

The true, eye-opening account of how the NHS has been failed and what we can do to save it.
‘The NHS is an institution. But it’s also a political football, kicked back and forth between politicians for the past 75 years. It’s a burden to some and a potent vote-winner for others. It’s a construct, framed in the media. It’s a set of ideas and a logo. It’s a workplace for many and the birthplace of almost all of us. It’s become a valued part of our society, it is extraordinarily special – and it’s being destroyed.’
The NHS is at crisis point. In the 75 years since it was founded on the dream of making healthcare accessible to everyone, its principles have been chipped away at and disregarded by successive political leaders. The result: an underfunded, understaffed, exhausted workforce, a decimation of patient services and the infiltration of privatisation within our public healthcare system. We are now in danger of losing what we have come to depend upon: the NHS is collapsing and a two-tier healthcare system is emerging in its place. We can stop this, but only if we do it together.
In her first book, Dr Julia Grace Patterson, founder of EveryDoctor and fierce advocate for the future of the NHS, lays bare the truth about the current state of our healthcare system and sets forth transformational ideas on how we could save it. A book built on a love of the NHS at its heart, Critical is a must-read for anyone who wants it to survive for another 75 years.
Dr Julia Grace Patterson's Critical is a best commentary on the state of the NHS, exploring its history, administration, and the social issues that have led to its current crisis. It is a non-fiction book that offers a unique perspective on the medical challenges of the 20th century.
For fans of Graham Smith (Abolish the Monarchy), Jolyon Maugham (Bringing Down Goliath), Isabel Hardman (Fighting for Life), Chris Bryant (Code of Conduct), and Andrew Seaton (Our NHS).

You are coaching a new Product Owner doing release planning for the first time.  There are three politically powerful stakeholders who each wan their project included as your team's highest priority.  It is clear that due to the lack of resources it will be a miracle if even one of the enhancements can be delivered.   
The Product Owner asks you what should he do?   Which project should he pick and how can he avoid trouble from the two stakeholders who must be disappointed? 
This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.  These discussions have been led since 2015 by Frederik Mark Fowler, A Doctor of Scrum and Holder of the Professional Scrum Master level III certification awarded by Scrum.org.  Fred has worked with the Scrum Framework for almost 20 years and has trained more then 300 people to become Scrum Masters and Product Owners.

Mission Zero - The Independent...

Chris Skidmore

Mission Zero is a landmark independent report into the delivery of the UK's commitment to net zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Chaired by Chris Skidmore, the UK's former Energy Minister who was responsible for signing net zero into law, its conclusions set out, for the very first time, a new economic narrative for climate policy, demonstrating the vast financial opportunity that net zero can deliver.
This timely and crucial report acts as a template for how all countries can map out future challenges and opportunities and, above all, deliver their own pathway to net zero while also creating new jobs, industries and investment for the future.
Commissioned by the UK's Prime Minister in September 2022, Mission Zero is the largest engagement exercise on net zero conducted to date and has been widely recognised as the most informative and detailed document on the topic, covering every sector and aspect of society. This important book is a vital piece of work and an indispensable must-read for anyone interested in energy, climate and sustainability policy.
