Summary
Case management is becoming a prominent and successful tool of modern healthcare. Putting the client firmly at the centre of a collaborative process, it can be mediated by doctors, social workers, nurses, and a range of vocationally qualified staff. It's tricky, but is guided in all cases by a recognized set of standards that can help bring about optimal outcomes in highly complex environments.

Summary
Pain is something we all experience and is something that many people fear, especially as they grow older. Long term experiences of pain may well become increasingly common as we head towards an ageing society beset with multiple chronic diseases. It is therefore imperative that medical professionals understand the implications of pain and incorporate appropriate actions to assess and deal with pain into their patient care. This programme considers all of these issues and looks broadly at pain management in the elderly. Three pain management experts share their insights with us, examining what pain is, assessment methods and common treatments available.

Summary
Conflict, it occurs in any workplace, and always needs to be carefully managed. In many ways, there is a greater potential for conflict to occur in an aged care environment than in a number of other workplaces. Relationships with residents or clients, their families and carers, other health professionals and managers of aged care services can require delicate balancing. There is generally a range of emotions and issues involved in the care of vulnerable people, and aged care workers often find themselves in positions where they need to think on their feet and deal with conflict effectively. A range of skills needed for conflict resolution are examined, and the programme finishes with a look at behaviours that elicit resistance, and those that elicit cooperation.

Summary
Aged care workers often find themselves in positions where they need to think on their feet and deal with conflict effectively. Relationships with residents or clients, their families and carers, other health professionals and managers of aged care services can require delicate balancing. Through various dramatised scenarios, this programme looks at a range of typical situations in an aged care environment where conflict between people occurs. In each case, several potential responses to the situation are examined and conclusions drawn about the most effective and appropriate ways to deal with them. Scenarios include conflict between aged care staff and relatives, conflict between peers, conflict between aged care staff and doctors, and conflict between aged care staff and the administration of a facility. This programme is an excellent learning resource for nurses, and students undertaking courses related to working in other roles in the aged care industry. It also serves as an engaging professional development aid for staff of aged care facilities.

Summary
Including interviews with world-leading scientists and researchers, this video evaluates the many management strategies that have been employed in the fight against malaria. From physical barriers, to hazardous natural predators, controversial pesticides, and costly drugs and repellents, students will come to understand that no single measure is perfect on its own. However, spatial technologies, like MARA, and advances in genetic engineering, provide hope that malaria may become a disease of history.

Summary
Providing health and care services to recipients has changed significantly in recent decades. Not only have technology and medical science progressed considerably, but approaches to service provision have also shifted. Today, the service user is the focus of coordinated and managed care plans. It is critical that their needs, wants and aspirations are the focus of service delivery. This film explores how individual needs are met with health care and other service provision. It features the University of Kent's Professor Julia Twigg and The Fremantle Trust's Sue Green, who provide expert comments relating to care plans and the management of individuals' needs. It is an engaging and informative resource for those studying courses relating to health care and allied service provision, as well as serving as a useful professional development tool for those already working in those sectors.
