"The Army physician assistant (PA) has an important role throughout Army medicine. This handbook will describe the myriad positions and organizations in which PAs play leadership roles in management and patient care. Chapters also cover PA education, certification, continuing training, and career progression. Topics include the Interservice PA Program, assignments at the White House and the Old Guard (3d US Infantry Regiment), and roles in research and recruiting, as well as the PA's role in emergency medicine, aeromedical evacuation, clinical care, surgery, and occupational health."--Amazon.com viewed Oct. 29, 2020.
The Committee investigated the provision of healthcare for the armed forces, and examined six key areas. The first was the treatment of personnel seriously wounded on operations, and the procedures for caring for them, from the point of wounding to evacuation to and treatment in the United Kingdom. The second area was the rehabilitation work for those with serious musculo-skeletal or neurological, injuries. The third was the relationship between the Ministry of Defence and the National Health Service in terms of delivering healthcare. The fourth area examined was the care for veterans and service families. The fifth issue was mental healthcare, both for service personnel and for veterans. Finally, the report examines the role of reserve personnel in the Defence Medical Services. Clinical care provided by the Defence Medical Services (DMS), in conjunction with the NHS, for personnel injured on operations is world-class. Rehabilitation work is also found to be exceptional. Services to the armed forces are delivered by the DMS, NHS, charities and welfare organisations, and this helps link the community with service personnel. The Committee would like a wider debate on which services are most appropriately provided by each sector. The Ministry of Defence's decision to base its secondary care around units embedded in NHS Trust is supported, but there is scope for more sharing of best practice between the DMS and the NHS. With veterans, the Committee is not sure adequate procedures are in place to identify veterans and to ensure priority access to services. Mental health is a vital responsibility for DMS, but a robust tracking system for veterans is needed. The reserve forces' contribution to the delivery of military healthcare is praised, but there is a danger of being overstretched.
This is an exploration of how the higher functions of the brain can be investigated, evaluated and, possibly, explained. A central theme throughout the book is rationality, since issues requiring rational evaluation confront many people everyday though emotional factors are often more influential in determining action. The book looks at various questions: is it possible to understand what is going on in someone else's mind?; why do people who are known very well often react irrationally, in a totally different way to what is expected?; what are emotions, beliefs, feelings and desire? Throughout, episodes from history involving famous artists and politicians are used - Gladstone and Lincoln, Bach and Graupner, Austen and Dickens - all providing useful examples to illustrate how rationality can provide an insight into the feeling self.

This two volume NAO report examines the recruitment and retention of armed forces personnel. As of July 2006, the trained strength of the armed forces stood at around 180,690, with an estimated shortfall of 5,170 against the Departments requirement. Overall the armed forces are not in manning balance, with the figures masking a wider shortage of trained personnel within a range of specific trade groups across all three services. All three services expect to be within manning balance by April 2008, though historically the services have consistently run below the full manning requirement. The NAO has identified 88 operational pinch point trades where there is insufficient trained strength to perform operational tasks. The report sets out a number of conclusions and recommendations, including: that the Department should review overall manning requirements within individual operational pinch points and also develop guidelines on the expected levels of voluntary outflow for individual operational pinch points; regular surveys of personnel should be carried out, focusing on factors that reduce retention; the Department should also assess the impact of the work/life balance and the extent to which breaches of individual harmony may be understated; further, the Department should look to investigate measures to provide greater stability and certainty of work patterns for personnel between operational deployments; also that a cost effective analysis should be conducted on the payment of financial retention incentives and the impact on decisions to continue serving in the armed forces; the Department should also review the scope of schemes which provide opportunities to offer competitive salaries, and consider the recruitment to a wider range of trades than is currently the practice; the Department should also develop a clear order of priority for the wide range of long-term projects it has planned and commit to firm timescales and funding programmes for the most important. A companion volume (HC 1633-II, session 2005-06, ISBN 0102943575) is available separately which contains case studies and detailed survey results.
