This is the first study to examine the impact of disruption on health outcomes using individual level longitudinal data, and the researchers say reducing the backlog of COVID-19 disruption is vital to tackling the short- and long-term implications of the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented disruption to health care in the UK. This includes disrupted access to appointments (eg, visiting a doctor

The Hill brought together medical experts on Thursday morning to reflect on lessons learned from the pandemic and discuss the future of US health care after major shifts in the health policy realm.

At The Hill’s 2023 Future of Healthcare Summit, moderated by Editor in Chief Bob Cusack and National Political Reporter Julia Manchester, misinformation about COVID-19 and health literacy in general was the first of several common concerns among the speakers.

Former Surgeon General Jerome Adams said that the pandemic only highlighted the issue.

“COVID was just a magnifying glass on the problems that have existed for decades, for

I am not sure where I first heard the phrase “readers are leaders” but it is something that has stuck with me throughout my entire life. I am now in my second year of retirement from teaching and coaching after 37 years of doing both. As I have thought about what to do in my retirement, one thing that keeps coming back into my mind is the need to read some great books. I have always believed that reading can help you become the best version of yourself for others. When you are busy with coaching and teaching, like I

Teaching Braille in PE – PHE America

Teaching Braille in PE – PHE America

Each school year, I teach a unit called “Abilities Awareness”. Making students aware of each other’s different abilities helps us become better citizens and leads to a more positive and inclusive school climate. This awareness leads to empathy and a deeper understanding of our peers’ individual learning needs resulting in a sense of belonging, community, and value in our school community. This unit is also an opportunity to address misconceptions surrounding different disabilities. In the words of Winston Churchill, “Diversity is the one true thing we all have in common. Celebrate it every day.”

The workforce shortage is the result of a variety of variables — more people retiring than beginning careers, a growing skills “mismatch” between the jobs available and the job seekers, and continued fears about individual and family members’
