The proposed hourly price caps would apply to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>all staff groups employed by NHS trusts and NHS foundation trusts: nursing, medical, all other clinical and other non-clinical staff<\/li>\n<li>all agency staff and bank staff<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The price caps would not apply to substantive\/permanent staff or staff employed by ambulance trusts. Monitor and the TDA will consider all responses to the consultation and decide whether, when and how to implement price caps. Subject to that process, the aim is to introduce the price caps on 23 November 2015.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a name=\"seas\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Restrictions on nurse recruitment from overseas changed &#8211; Department of Health<\/strong><br \/>\nNurses will be added to the government\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/restrictions-on-nurse-recruitment-from-overseas-changed\" target=\"_blank\">shortage occupation list<\/a> on an interim basis. This means that nurses from outside the EEA that apply to work in the UK will have their applications for nursing posts prioritised. The independent Migration Advisory Committee will review the change and present further evidence to the government by February 2016. The move is designed to ease pressure on the NHS at a time when the government is introducing tough new controls on costly agency spending. It will help the NHS improve continuity of care for patients, invest in the frontline and maintain safe staffing levels.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a name=\"28\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>New AHCS blog explores innovation, 28 day diagnosis and public assurance &#8211; NHS Employers<\/strong><br \/>\nIn her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nhsemployers.org\/news\/2015\/10\/latest-blog-by-the-academy-for-healthcare-science\" target=\"_blank\">latest blog<\/a> Janet Monkman, CEO from the Academy for Healthcare Science talks about the increasing demands for scientific services, increasing patient access and regulation of the workforce.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a name=\"aco\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Struggling CCG may join leading NHS &#8216;ACO&#8217; project &#8211; Health Service Journal<\/strong><br \/>\nA financially troubled clinical commissioning group may pass many of its responsibilities to Northumbria\u2019s emerging \u2018accountable care organisation\u2019, HSJ has learned.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a name=\"hsj1\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>The biggest NHS providers of specialised services &#8211; Health Service Journal<\/strong><br \/>\nUniversity Hospital Southampton Foundation Trust saw the largest increase in its specialised services income last year, new information obtained by HSJ reveals.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sonhslks.com\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\">Contact the Library &amp; Knowledge Service<\/a> to request this article in full or Phn. 01704 704202<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a name=\"nice\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong><span lang=\"EN-US\">NICE Advice<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nice.org.uk\/advice\/esnm61\/chapter\/Key-points-from-the-evidence\">Orthostatic hypotension due to autonomic dysfunction: midodrine<\/a>.

It reviews how well hospital trusts and local health boards prevent inpatient falls in England and Wales, which are set against the NICE guideline (CG161) on falls assessment and prevention. This is the first time this has been reviewed. The report reveals that many trusts and local health boards have policies that include the main areas of falls prevention. However, there is often no association between what the policies include and the care patients received once admitted to hospital.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a name=\"stats\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Statistics<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hscic.gov.uk\/catalogue\/PUB18486\">Number of Patients Registered at a GP Practice &#8211; October 2015<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a name=\"bull\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Bulletins<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nhsemployers.org\/?sc_itemid=%7bEC6C111C-B7D5-4A94-90F2-EDB6B2331E86%7d&amp;sc_lang=en&amp;sc_pd_view=1\">NHS Workforce Bulletin<\/a> &#8211; 12 October 2015\u00a0<span lang=\"EN-US\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>A round up of <a href=\"http:\/\/paper.li\/e-1443527120\" target=\"_blank\">other news stories<\/a> from across the web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><code><script src=\"http:\/\/widgets.paper.li\/javascripts\/sr.embeddable.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><script>\/\/ <![CDATA[\nPaperli.PaperFrame.Show({id: '8872d250-3ba4-428d-8cb6-5d25da7f8c98', width: 390, height: 480, background: '#ECECEC', borderColor: '#DDDDDD'})\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"National price caps for agency staff working in the NHS &#8211; NHS Trust Development Authority Restrictions on nurse recruitment from overseas changed &#8211; Department of Health New AHCS blog explores innovation, 28 day diagnosis and public assurance &#8211; NHS Employers Struggling CCG may join leading NHS &#8216;ACO&#8217; project &#8211; Health&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[37,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ccg","category-daily-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4kWbe-za","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2180"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2180\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2512,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2180\/revisions\/2512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lihnnhs.info\/Sando\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
