It feels like I’ve been on a kind of Anti-Vacation, where you get to experience new and exciting levels of pressure that you’ve read about in books but never had planned to visit yourself. In my case, it was a return trip to the LAND OF WORDPRESS SECURITY on behalf of a friend-client; a malware warning had been reported by one of her website’s readers, which can be an ominous precursor to a flagging by the almighty Google itself through its “Safe Browsing” service. That would be bad for the site, so I spent about 30 hours over a weekend scanning, cleaning, and restoring the WordPress install while throwing myself through &#8...

I will be competing in my first triathlon. While it is only a sprint distance event, the three different venues of competition bring on an organizational challenge. I have three completely different events to get ready for. I tend to be a pretty focused person. I thrive on doing one thing at a time. Throw three things at me and I can lose focus quickly. In planning for the event, I searched my mind for previous multi faceted challenges and made a list of tools that helped me get through them.

The report highlights remediable factors in existing care pathways, particularly the appropriateness, timeliness and frequency of investigations and reviews, the experience of staff and the availability of results, protocols and procedures. They’ve also produced a Self assessment checklist for trusts that allows Trusts to check their progress in adopting NCEPOD’s recommendations following the 2007 report ‘Emergency Admissions: A journey in the right direction?’.
