Jaume Segalés y su equipo hablan de esta enfermedad y de cine clásico. Hoy en Km0, tras repasar la actualidad informativa y deportiva, profundizamos en los siguientes asuntos: Enfermedad Injerto Contra Receptor (EICR) Hoy viernes 28 de febrero es el Día Mundial de las enfermedades raras. Vamos a hablar de una de ellas: la EICR, Enfermedad Injerto Contra Receptor, que afecta a casi la mitad de los pacientes trasplantados de médula ósea. España es líder en trasplantes a nivel mundial desde hace 33 años. Sólo en 2023 se realizaron aproximadamente 1.500 trasplantes alogénicos de médula ósea (de un donante diferente al receptor). Un 43% de ellos (637) de una persona no emparentada, lo que incrementa el riesgo de complicaciones. El paciente con un trasplante alogénico de médula ósea se enfrenta a momentos críticos como el diagnóstico de la neoplasia hematológica maligna (que es un tipo de cáncer), el tratamiento con quimioterapia, la incertidumbre de encontrar un donante adecuado y el trasplante como última opción curativa. La supervivencia de estos pacientes ha mejorado en los últimos años, pero un número importante sufre complicaciones post trasplante, no relacionadas con las recaídas de su enfermedad de base. La Enfermedad Injerto Contra Receptor puede ser crónica. Es una patología compleja en la que las células del donante (que se injertan) atacan a las células del receptor, provocando inflamación y fibrosis (cicatrización o engrosamiento) en múltiples tejidos y órganos. Entrevistamos al Dr. Guillermo Orti, experto en esta enfermedad y miembro del Grupo Español de Trasplante Hematopoyético y Terapia Celular (GETH). Sección de cine clásico "Es sesión continua" Antolín de la Torre hoy nos habla sobre El demonio del mar (Down to the Sea in Ships). Película estadounidense de 1949 dirigida por Henry Hathaway, protagonizada por Richard Widmark, Lionel Barrymore, Dean Stockwell, Paul Harvey, Berry Kroeger . A finales del siglo XIX, el capitán de un barco ballenero de Massachusetts, Bering Joy, lleva a su nieto Jed a una expedición ballenera. El viejo capitán quiere enseñar a su nieto los valores de la vida real como la honestidad, el coraje, la sabiduría, la justicia y el trabajo duro. Al mismo tiempo, el primer oficial Dan Lunceford recibe el encargo de dar clases particulares al niño en sus tareas escolares. Una pequeña competencia y rivalidad comienza cuando ambos hombres, el capitán Joy y el primer oficial Lunceford, se esfuerzan por convertirse en el modelo masculino a seguir del joven Jed. El capitán Joy puede tener la sabiduría dictada por las experiencias de su vida, pero la imaginación del joven Jed está más bien cautivada por los cuentos marineros de Dan Lunceford.

30 Minutes to Electrical Mastery: The Challenge of a Full EICR - Impossible or a Game-Changer?Think you can conquer the EICR challenge in just 30 minutes? Well, here's the truth – while some might claim they can speed through it, the real pros know better. To do the job right, an electrician needs more than just half an hour.So, who's out there offering EICRs for under £100 and actually doing justice to the task? Because let's face it, there are countless properties that legally require an EICR.Imagine this: Electricians promising a thorough EICR for just £99 and wrapping up five in a single day! Sounds tempting, right? But the cold, hard truth is, a proper EICR in 30 minutes is as elusive as a unicorn. Not only is the paperwork practically worthless, but the electrician is also setting themselves up for potential legal trouble.

What the Hell is an EICR and what do you need to do about it? If you're a landlord or a tenant in the UK, you may have heard of an EICR, but what exactly is it and why is it important? In this video, we'll explore everything you need to know about EICRs, from what they are and what they entail to why they're necessary and how to comply with the regulations. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal document that provides a detailed assessment of the safety and compliance of the electrical installation in a property. It identifies any potential hazards, defects, or non-compliance issues with the wiring, sockets, switches, and other electrical components, and provides recommendations for remedial work if needed. Whether you're a landlord looking to comply with regulations, a tenant concerned about your safety, or simply interested in learning more about EICRs, this video will provide valuable insights and knowledge to help you stay informed and protected.

EICR, PAT Testing, Periodic Tests, Continuity..... The list goes ON and ONIs it an obsession for electricians to test everything? Maybe..... Its drilled into you at college so much. Isn't it over the top the amount of testing electricians do? There must be a reason for all this testing and safe isolation, but what is it? When you understand the reason you do something, your more likely to do it. When you don't completely understand why, you may cut a few corners and not bother. Yeah you may get away with it a couple of times. It only takes that one time for something to go wrong, for a fire to start and lives to be lost. After that you will make a point of testing everything twice - If you are alive to get another chance. Learn from other peoples mistake that I have found over the years, where a simple test before they leave would have saved the customer time and money. But best of all - let that install safe.Tune in to the podcast to day and understand why electricians test and what the tests prove. Understanding is the first step to knowing what your doing.

This weeks Ask The Angels question is from Nana and about who pays for certain bills and checks in an rent to rent HMO.So, here is Nana's question...“Who pays for the gas safety cert and the EICR”When you do rent to rent, it is important to understand the details too. If you're thinking about starting in rent to rent make sure you understand the contracts up front it makes everything so much easier for both parties.It means you don't end up in a confrontation - both parties understand what their obligations are. The gas safety certificate is self-explanatory and the EICR is the electrical installation condition report. So who pays?It depends what's in the contract you have with the landlord. Check there first. In this episode I'm going to talk about how we arrange things and what's in the contract we have with landlords. Visit the episode page to hear the full answer and ask your question!✅ https://rent2rentsuccess.com/ata67 ✅You can have you question answered at✅ https://rent2rentsuccess.com/ask ✅If you're also at the beginning stage and you want the full overview of how all this works.Get your free Rent 2 Rent Success Masterclass & Guide which takes you through the process   ✅ https://rent2rentsuccess.com/guide ✅ Support the show

In this episode Sián is joined by James Kent; managing director of Safe2Ltd - The Leading Provider of Property Safety Certificates.James talks about how Safe2 has managed the logistics of getting rental properties up to standard and the barriers electrical engineers have faced when attempting to enter the property and carry out EICR's.We discuss the key issues around non compliance including the potential for landlords to be fined up £30,000 for failures and non compliance.Sián asks if there is any leeway on the current 28 days allowed if the property requires remedial work and why Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is a legal requirement for HMO's but that it makes sense for landlords to have all appliances provided for tenants use tested. Sián looks at the risk involved with more tenants working from home and how landlords really do have the lives of tenants in their hands.James gives his Top Tips to help landlords remain compliant and avoid fines including using registered, insured and experienced engineers to avoid issues at the end of the tenancy with automated certificate renewals and subscription based compliance options with Safe2Rent and Safe2Buy services. Final comments are from James who provides advice for landlords on a little known option to extend the length of the Gas Safety Certificate. Want to know more? Listen in to find out how!

How do I recover my debts after a CCJ has been issued against my ex-tenants?What if my tenant is not allowing access to get a gas safety check or EICR done?Rental celebrity, Paul Shamplina of Landlord Action and the Channel 5 TV Show ' Nightmare Tenants and Slum Landlords' answers your questions on what to do about rent arrears, and what new government legislation means for landlords.

Most property investors and landlords are proactive when it comes to ensuring the safety of their tenants and properties, which is also in their own interest.  Under the latest Regulations, landlords must have the electrical installations in their properties inspected and tested by a person who is qualified and competent at least every 5 years. Landlords also have to provide a copy of the electrical safety report (EICR) to their tenants, and to their local authority if requested. The Regulations came into force on 1 June 2020 and apply from 1 April 2021 in England in cases where a private tenant has a right to occupy a property as their only or main residence and pays rent. This includes assured shorthold tenancies and licences to occupy.  Landlords who fail to comply could face fines of up to £30,000 or even criminal charges in the case of negligence. This does not cover PAT testing, which is still required. In most cases, it is cheaper to throw away perfectly good electrical appliances (most of which ends up in landfill) than calling in PAT testers and waste a day filling in forms. The changes to rules and regulations on gas, electrical work, building and a whole raft of red tape every few years are a bonanza for the sectors and create plenty of non-productive jobs. But the costs are ultimately passed on to landlords, tenants and taxpayers. Thousands of civil servants and various people in sector bodies and quangos are employed to constantly change rules and create more red tape to self-perpetuate their own jobs!  The same fate awaits perfectly good cars, which have the “wrong engine” this year! The will eventually be taxed out of existence ad end up on the scrapheap of throwaway society.

Please leave us a rating and review if you're enjoying the show.

I have a run through my thoughts on the EICR system, mainly in the domestic market due to PRS changes in England. But the same issues are widespread. I believe investment to the apprenticeship system is the solution to a great many industry problems.  Over reliance on software and expectations of industry bodies treats the symptom but not the cause in place for me. We need to take self responsibility, raise awareness with clients and really encourage a vibrant and thriving apprenticeship system.  Take a listen and let me know your opinion or what you are seeing.

How long until something goes wrong and who will be held accountable when it does? Should estate agents take the bulk of the blame for EICR test backlogs as well as landlords? Are the tests being completed properly and are forms being forged in a race to complete EICR tests in time?

Thomas Nagy discusses a range of topics relating to his past week, The latest on the electrical van & more.

In this podcast, Rob speaks to Charlotte Lee and Frank Bertie from the National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers (NAPIT). They discuss how landlords with properties in England can get the necessary inspections carried out to acquire the electrical safety report that is now needed under the latest Electrical Standards Regulations. Including, how to hire someone who is properly qualified to carry out the inspection.   They also briefly go through the main reasons a property may fail an inspection. As well as speaking about how to rectify issues. For example, what to do if you have an installation that does not comply with the 18th edition of the wiring regulations is discussed along with other scenarios. Sign Up For MSOPI Here: https://bit.ly/msopi-nomad KEY TAKEAWAYS From 1st April 2021, the July 2020 changes to the electrical standards regulations will be applied to all specified existing tenancies in England. Rather than just to new tenancies, as was the case before. Scotland: In Scotland, since the 1st of December 2015 under sections 13(4A) and 19B (4) of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006, private landlords are responsible for ensuring that an electrical safety inspection with an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) of their property to be carried out by a registered electrician at least every five years. All tenancies will require a safety report called an Electrical Installation Condition Report to be in place. Every 5 years a new inspection and Electrical Installation Condition Report will be required. If a property is unsatisfactory the landlord has 28 days to fix any issues. The person who carried out the EICR inspection does not necessarily have to do the remedial work. Electrical Installation or Remedial Work: Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords are required to use qualified and competent electrical contractors to undertake both the inspection and test and also any remedial or further investigative work which is identified. The search facility on: https://www.electricalcompetentperson.co.uk/allows you to search for an electrical company who is qualified and competent to undertake electrical installation or electrical inspection work. If you choose not to use a registered business, a checklist should be signed by the contractor to verify their competence. There is a limited list of tenancies that are not covered by the new regulations. Covid may make it difficult to carry out these inspections e.g., if tenants are shielding, but landlords will need to conclusively demonstrate that they have tried to comply with the regulations. The local authority has to be provided with a copy of the report within 7 days of inspection. As do your tenants, within 28 days of the inspection. In a few cases, an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) can still be used. This topic is discussed in detail in the podcast. It is the landlord´s responsibility to check that the inspector is properly qualified and competent to carry out the inspection. Even if you use a letting agent, the regulations state that the landlord is still ultimately responsible for compliance with the regulations. Landlords should keep a copy of the complete paper (or digital) trail to prove that they are fulfilling their responsibilities.     BEST MOMENTS ‘(The regulation changes) will apply to all specified tenancies from the 1st of April 2021.' ‘A lot of buy-to-let landlords have not had it before. Now they've got to get it done.' ‘A valid EIC rather than an EICR … can be used if the house has undergone a full rewire.'   EPISODE RESOURCES nta@napit.org.uk https://www.electricalcompetentperson.co.uk/ - to find a competent inspector in England   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Property Nomads Website  Buy to Let: How to Get Started – By Rob Smallbone (Amazon)   ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.

Should we code smoke detectors that do not work on an EICR. Sam McDouall, Neil Bridgeman, Ricky Howell and Mark Allison discuss should we code fire alarms on an electrical periodic inspection report. The Electricians' Monday Club is a group of UK electricians, electrical engineers and business owners that cover most sectors within the UK electrical industry including, domestic, commercial, industrial, social housing and rail.

This week on Ask Rob & Rob, the guys are discussing what one caller should do with the property she hates, and what the new electrical regulations mean. Our first caller this week is Nancy. She's a GP who's taken a step into the world of property investment.  Nancy owns a property that's located about 15 minutes away from Liverpool Football Club. It's a property that's performing well, however it's a serviced accommodation property which she's now come to realise she hates.  Between the hours that Nancy puts in at the GP surgery as well as doing private consultations, she's found that the amount of time the property requires and what she gets back from it, really isn't worth it.  So now she's questioning if she should just sell the property or whether she should keep it and outsource a company to manage the property for her.  The second caller this week is Jake who, along with a friend, manage a few properties in a portfolio that they own.  They've been looking into the new EICR rules that came into play on the 1st July. From what they've found, it looks as if you had to have new EICRs done before this date, regardless of whether you've had them done previously or not, to make sure you're compliant with the regulations.  So, do you need to have brand new electrical certificates in place or do previous ones still uphold the regulations?  Tune in to find out.   Do you have a buy to let or property investment related question for Rob & Rob?
