Podcasts about muir gray

Renowned public health pioneer, Professor Sir Muir Gray, returned to the podcast to discuss his latest book - Increase your Brainability and reduce your risk of dementia. The evidence is mounting and momentum is building behind the idea that we have a significant amount of control over our risk factors for developing dementia, from protecting our brain tissue to keeping the blood flowing, and Sir Muir shares the latest research with me. He believes the prevention revolution is finally happening and explains how his new educational programme will be rolled out via the NHS encouraging people to ask for new trainers instead of chocolates on those milestone 60th, 70th or 80th birthdays. There are a host more golden nuggets about his Optimal Ageing and Living Better Longer initiatives contained in this episode, so I hope you feel inspired and enjoy my conversation with Professor Sir Muir Gray.

The Guide to Living Well'. He joins me on the podcast to talk about why the word retirement should be banned, ‘Excessive Sitting Syndrome' and what we can do to dramatically reduce our risk of serious illness as we age. He argues why ‘clean, clear knowledge' is so important in the 21st century and how he's helped to ensure it's available via the NHS. Listen here on episode 051 The Retirement Café Podcast.

Is less ever more? A podcast from Muir Gray based on: Rosenbaum L. The Less Is More Crusade - Are We Overmedicalizing or Oversimplifying? New England Journal of Medicine 374;2392-2395 Mitigating waste is imperative. But doing so effectively means grappling with a greed that may more often reflect a hunger for information than a desire for financial gain. Until we learn how to better manage the uncomfortable uncertainties inherent in clinical care, “less is more” may be an aphorism better suited to telling coherent stories than to the complex decisions faced by doctors and patients.” http://ezproxy-prd.bodleian.ox.ac.uk:2481/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJMms1713248

Muir Gray is now working with both NHS England and Public Health England to bring about a transformation of care with the aim of increasing value for both populations and individuals. Here he gives a talk on improving healthcare systems. Here are some questions we cannot answer after nearly 70 years of a purportedly National Health Service. The lecture will address these questions and how they can be answered. 1. Is the service for people with seizures and epilepsy in Manchester of higher value than the service in Liverpool? 2. How many liver disease services are there in England and how many should there be? 3. Which service for people at the end of life in London provides the best value? 4. Is the service for people with asthma of higher than the service in Somerset? 5. How many services are there for people with MusculoSkeletal Disease in the North East, and which gives best value? We cannot answer them because we deliver care that is institutionally based not population based but to do so will need new knowledge and skills to answer questions such as: 1. What do you understand by the term complexity? 2. What is meant by the term system and how does it differ from a network? 3. What is meant by population based healthcare rather than bureaucracy based care? 4. What are the three meanings of the term value in 21st Century healthcare? Not ‘values' as in 'we value diversity' but the economic meanings 5. What is the relationship between value and efficiency? 6. What is meant by the optimal use of resources? 7. What is meant by the term quality and how does it relate to value? 8. What is a system and a standard? 9. How would you assess the culture of an organisation? 10. How would you decide if an organisation had a strong culture of stewardship? Muir Gray is now working with both NHS England and Public Health England to bring about a transformation of care with the aim of increasing value for both populations and individuals and published a series of How To Handbooks for example, How to Get Better Value Healthcare, How To Build Healthcare Systems and How To Create the Right Healthcare Culture. His hobby is ageing and how to cope with it and he has published a book for people aged seventy called Sod 70! and one for the younger decade called Sod 60! This with Dr Claire Parker, and his book for people aged 40-60, titled Midlife, appeared in January 2017. Other books in the series on Sod Ageing are Sod it, Eat Well, with Anita Bean and Sod Sitting, Get Moving with Diana Moran, the Green Goddess. For people of all ages Dr Gray's Walking Cure summarises the evidence on this wonderful means of feeling well, reducing the risk of disease and minimising disability should disease strike. This talk was held as part of the Practice of Evidence-Based Health Care course which is part of the Evidence-Based Health Care Programme.

Sir Muir Gray - Podcast: Overuse of Surgery for Women with Breast Cancer by Oxford Centre for Triple Value Healthcare

There's a crisis in old age care - not just in the UK, around the world, as population demographics shift, and the proportion of older people increase - there's a worry about who's going to look after them, and how much is it going to cost? However, a new analysis on bmj.com says this picture need not be so gloomy - they say that encouraging exercise in older people could save billions - by keeping frailty at bay and increasing healthy life expectancy. We're joined by two of the authors of that analysis - Scarlett McNally, consultant orthopedic surgeon at Eastbourne District General Hospital, and Muir Gray, public health doctor.

Sir Muir Gray - Podcast: Down With Savings by Oxford Centre for Triple Value Healthcare

High quality care is not neccasarily high value...

Comedian and actor Omid Djalili; playwright Jack Thorne; fitness expert Diana Moran and singer and presenter Dashni Morad join Libby Purves. Diana Moran is well known as The Green Goddess who, back in the 1980s and clad in emerald green lycra, encouraged television viewers to shape up. Her new book Sod Sitting, Get Moving! urges people in their 60s, 70s and 80s to exercise and eat healthily to help with fitness, strength and suppleness in their later years. The former catwalk model discovered the joy of keeping fit in her 30s as she convalesced from a major operation, devising her own exercise regime to help her recovery. Sod Sitting, Get Moving! By Diana Moran and Muir Gray is published by Green Tree. Dashni Morad is a television presenter and singer. She is a former Kurdish refugee whose family fled from Iraq and Saddam Hussein's persecution when she was five. The family finally settled in the Netherlands where her broadcasting career blossomed. Dashni set up a charity, Green Kids, which helps children affected by conflict and has established two libraries at refugee camps across Iraqi Kurdistan. She is donating the proceeds of her new single, Love Wins, to Green Kids. Jack Thorne is an award-winning writer whose work spans theatre, film, television and radio. His new musical Junkyard is inspired by the true story of the Lockleaze playground in Bristol - known as 'The Vench' - which was established over 30 years ago and is still operating today. Jack's father built the Vench as part of an outreach scheme to encourage creativity and inventiveness and to give children a taste of manual labour. Jack's theatre credits include Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Hope and Let the Right One In and his television work includes National Treasure and This is England. Junkyard is at the Bristol Old Vic and then on tour. Omid Djalili is an award-winning comedian and actor born in London to Iranian parents. He's currently on a UK tour with Schmuck for a Night in which he tries to make sense of the world around him. He will make his Chichester Festival Theatre debut playing Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof in July. His stage credits include Oliver! and What the Butler Saw in the West End and films include The Infidel, Shaun the Sheep and Gladiator. Schmuck for a Night is currently on tour. Fiddler on the Roof is at Chichester Festival Theatre. Producer: Paula McGinley.

Sir Muir Gray - Podcast of the Month: Optimality by Oxford Centre for Triple Value Healthcare

Source: Kuhn, T.S. (1962) The Structure of Scientific Revolutions [2nd Ed.] The University of Chicago Press. (p.111.) “Revolution as Changes of World View. Examining the record of past research from the vantage of contemporary historiography, the historian of science may be tempted to exclaim that when paradigms change, the world itself changes with them. Led by a new paradigm, scientists adopt new instruments and look in new places. Even more important, during revolutions scientists see new and different things when looking with familiar instruments in places they have looked before. It is rather as if the professional community had been suddenly transported to another planet where familiar objects are seen in a different light and are joined by unfamiliar ones as well. Of course, nothing of quite that sort does occur: there is no geographical transplantation; outside the laboratory everyday affairs usually continue as before. Nevertheless, paradigm changes do cause scientists to see the world of their research engagement differently. In so far as their only recourse to that world is through what they see and do, we may want to say that after a revolution scientists are responding to a different world.”
