[National demonstration project on epilepsy in Brazil].

Epilepsy is the most prevalent non-communicable serious neurological condition worldwide. Unfortunately, the majority of people with epilepsy in low-income countries do not receive appropriate treatment. Stigmatisation is the rule. In this setting, the World Health Organisation, the International League against Epilepsy and the International Bureau for Epilepsy launched the Global Campaign against Epilepsy in 1997. This entered its second phase in 2001 and as part of it has set up demonstration projects in the People's Republic of China, Zimbabwe, Senegal and, more recently, in Brazil. The objective of the demonstration projects is to show, through methodological evaluation, that it is possible to establish a model of treatment for people with epilepsy in primary health care settings. The Brazilian demonstration project has targeted regions in Campinas and S o Jose do Rio Preto, both in Sao Paulo State. A task force has been established to assess strategies to expand this project nationwide.

[Health promotion benefits and obstacles as perceived by occupational medicine physicians in Poland].

This article presents the views of occupational medicine (OM) physicians concerning the following: (a) whether OM physicians should be involved in workplace health promotion: (b) whether they can benefit (if so in what way) from involvement in this activity; (c) whether they find the existing conditions favorable for launching health promotion projects; (d) what are the major obstacles? This paper is based on a survey carried out in the fall of 2002 in a group of 325 OM specialists who attend large groups of patients. Over 90% of the respondents believe that OM physicians should be involved in health promotion, however, one third of them do not plan any action in this field in the following year. Among the key benefits from health promotion, health gain is indicated by 80% of OM physicians. Only a few respondents perceive their involvement in health promotion as an opportunity to be more competitive in health service market, thereby to increase their income. None of those interviewed thought that involvement in health promotion win them greater respect among peers. Almost 80% of the respondents complained about unfavorable conditions for carrying out workplace health promotion. As the most significant obstacles they reported the lack of interest in health promotion among employers (86% of respondents), unsatisfactory gratification (76%), limited skill to raise funds for health promotion (64%), limited opportunities to advance education in this field (59%), and the lack of interest in health promotion among employees (57%). In general, OM physicians express their willingness to advance their knowledge of health promotion, although 64% of respondents are convinced that they are well trained in this area. According to the respondents, a proper way to promote health is not only to become very active, but to commit employers to assure the development of health promotion at workplace and to allocate more funds for health promotion projects.

Cancer care. Service redesign. A dangerous game to play.

Duplicating improvements in breast cancer services to less common tumour types brings a raft of new challenges. Establishing multidisciplinary teams means health professionals moving and changing professional base, which could destabalise existing services. Individual trusts' cancer plans need to take account of their effect on other services to ease the pressure on PCT capacity planning.

Ten critical steps for a successful telemedicine program.

This chapter is based on a study of the characteristics that drive successful and unsuccessful telemedicine programs. In 2000 the International Society for Telemedicine (ISfT) asked AMD Telemedicine to present our observations of what characteristics appeared to be common to successful telemedicine and telehealth programs. To find out, AMD Telemedicine conducted a study of over 60 telemedicine programs in three countries. During this review, we identified ten basic points and documented successful and unsuccessful approaches to each. There are exceptions, but the approach to each of these issues appears to maximize the likelihood of success or failure. The findings were initially presented to the ISfT membership at their conference in Denmark. The study has been updated continuously as new information becomes available. The most current observations are as follows.
