Ana Pedro 1.Gwyntwr1386 Health & Social Care, Harold Tomlin Day Centre 24 Grosvenor Street Chester CH1 2DD info@gwyntwr1386.com The problem NHS 111 Key problems with the burden it places on emergency and ambulance services. Improvements need to be made to the NHS 111 service to make sure the triage software it uses prioritises patients accurately and minimises inappropriate referrals to the ambulance service. Also, the introduction of the NHS111 online service had a small impact on the number of triaged and total calls. However, evidence suggests an increase in the overall number of disposition recommendations (ambulance, emergency department and primary care) for NHS 111 telephone and online services combined following the int...

Parkinson’s disease and the Parkinsonisms (ISSN 2753-8176 (online))

Parkinson’s disease and the Parkinsonisms (ISSN 2753-8176 (online)) 1.Ana Pedro 1.Gwyntwr1386 Health & Social Care, Regus Chester Business Park, Heronsway, Chester, CH49QR, UK. info@gwyntwr1386.com Parkinson’s Disease was first described by James Parkinson in 1817. Idiopathic Parkinson's disease is caused by a loss of nerve cells in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra which produce dopamine. Dopamine acts as a messenger between the parts of the brain and nervous system that help control and co-ordinate body movements. The loss of these nerve cells is a slow process and Parkinson's disease symptoms' usually start to develop when around 50% of the nerve cell activity in the substantia nigra have been lost (1). Parkinson's disease is a common condition in elderly people. About 137,000 people were living with Parkinson's disease in the UK. The prevalence rate was 286.5 per 100,000 person-years (2). The symptoms of Parkinson's disease ...

Bilingual/ monolingual individuals and relationship with Dementia and Parkinson’s disease progression – brief opinion (ISSN 2753-8176 (online))

Bilingual/ monolingual individuals and relationship with Dementia and Parkinson’s disease progression – brief opinion (ISSN 2753-8176 (online)) 1. Ana Pedro 1.Gwyntwr1386 Pharmacy, Regus Chester Business Park, Heronsway, Chester, CH49QR, UK. info@gwyntwr1386.com One of the most challenging aspects of living with moderate dementia is the loss of language skills, in particularly for bilingual individuals, who have difficulty in maintaining fluency in more than one language (1-3). The loss of second language skills is a strong predictor for decreased well-being in people living in care homes, due to communication barriers between residents and carers, which may result, for example, in being unable to obtain help to self-care, as well as in social isolation. Evidence indicates that bilingual individuals develop Alzheimer's disease (AD) later than monolinguals, showing relative strengths in the domain of inhibition and response conflict (1-3). Bilinguals also may retain an ad...
