AimsTo reach 80% adherence to DVANI (Driving and Vehicle Agency Northern Ireland) guidance in acute inpatients ward, T&F HospitalBackgroundThis is a scale-up of a previous successful QI project on driving and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Belfast Trust. According DVLA's guidance for medical practitioners on the current medical standards of fitness to drive, patients with certain mental health diagnosis are required to inform DVLA of their diagnoses and refrain from driving. Different factors are considered in order to determine patients’ fitness to drive. According to DVLA and GMC, it is medical professionals’ responsibility to advise patients to inform DVLA/DVANI of their mental health diagnosis. It is the patient's legal duty to notify DVLA/DVANI of their diagnosis. Patients can be fined up to £1000 if they failed to inform DVANI of their medical condition.MethodOutcome: Completeness of driving advice given to consecutive patients discharged from T&F hospital from April 2019 to early August 2019 in %Process: Document clearly in electronic and written notes on following - (1) has driving status been asked (2) has patient been advised to inform DVA if required (3) has patient been advised likely how long he/she is to refrain from driving forBalancing: increased the time of reviews, increased numbers of consultant reports requested from DVAResult4 cycles have been completed. Cycle 1 – baseline and review guidance; Cycle 2 – medical staff education and developed driving advice pathway and patient leaflet; Cycle 3 – admin staff was involved for putting driving advice pathway in admission pack; Cycle 4 – medical staff was educated again regarding importance of documenting electronically. Clear changes were seen after cycle 3 showing an increase of mean of 25% completeness of driving advice to over 90%.ConclusionIt is the legal duty of patients to notify DVANI of mental health diagnosis, however it is the responsibility of medical professionals to advise patients to do so. This QI project has shown improvement in the completeness of driving advice given. Further cycles are to be completed to obtain patient feedback.

Full textAbstract:
In the social constitutional state, the administration’s mandate is not limited to making legal and expedient decisions. According to § 25 of the German Administrative Procedure Act and parallel provisions in social, tax and procurement laws, the office administrators are obliged to advise the individual to a certain extent on the exercise of their rights, whereby the requirement of legality and expediency is at least to some extent supplemented by a requirement of optimization. The present contribution will discuss the justification, the regulatory context, and the extent of the duty to provide advice, as well as the consequences of insufficient or incorrect advice. The institution of official advice is interesting for the discipline of administrative law as it stands at the interface of civil law and administrative law (substantive and procedural), and therefore, is able to reconstruct its dogmatic form on the basis of the “doctrine of legal relations”. Finally, the official duties to advise exemplify how administrative procedural law deals with information risks – a hitherto neglected component of general information administrative law.

Full textAbstract:
This essay explores the role of strategic ignorance in relation to access to legal advice in England and Wales, drawing on the work of Linsey McGoey (2012; 2019; 2020), taking areas of extreme shortage of immigration and asylum legal advice as an example of the wider phenomenon in access to justice. It argues that there is a misplaced belief in market-based procurement to meet advice needs, which leads to a failure to collect evidence to understand whether the market does in fact achieve this. This avoidance of evidence about market functioning and the relationship between demand and provision is facilitated by fragmentation of both policy and operational responsibilities, leaving large gaps for ignorance, in which the accounts and concerns of advice-users are dismissed as not credible. It argues that, in failing to collect adequate evidence about the functioning of the market, the Lord Chancellor is ignoring a statutory duty to secure the availability of legal aid.

Abstract 794The article addresses the issue that is widely discussed in Germany and other jurisdictions: can the management of a company use AI applications in its decision-making process without violating its fiduciary duties? The lack of transparency in conventional AI applications conflicts with the fiduciary duty to check the plausibility of external expert advice (in Germany known as the ISION principles). This tension can be partly resolved by using explainable AI (XAI). In this work, we review the basic principles of machine learning and XAI and discuss them in the legal context.

Full textAbstract:
As the Sentencing Commission revives after years without a quorum, a top priority should be to address a statutory duty that has been neglected since the Commission’s inception: the mandatory obligation under 28 U.S.C. § 994(g) to make recommendations regarding the Bureau of Prisons’ execution of Guidelines sentences. Since the effective date of the Sentencing Reform Act, the federal prison population has tripled, spurred on by Bureau of Prisons’ policies and practices that stint on or completely abandon ameliorative sentencing statutes. These administrative positions, implemented with no input from the Commission, effectively increase time individuals spend in prison serving Guidelines sentences, often generating unwarranted disparities among similarly situated defendants. With new Commissioners and a new Bureau of Prisons Director, now is the time for the Commission to make eleven recommendations to the BOP to use existing statutory authority to increase community corrections and reduce time in prison. The statutory bases for administrative action by the BOP cover prerelease custody (18 U.S.C. § 3624(c)), the residential drug abuse program (18 U.S.C. § 3621(e)), sentence calculations for pretrial custody credit (18 U.S.C. §§ 3585(b), 3584(a), and 3624(b)), compassionate release (18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)(i)), the boot camp, or shock incarceration, program (18 U.S.C. § 4046(a) and 28 C.F.R. § 524.31(b)), and earned time credits under the First Step Act (18 U.S.C. §§ 3632(d) and 3624(g)). Each of the proposed statutorily-based recommendations will ameliorate the overuse of prison while promoting rehabilitation and saving taxpayer money.

Tesi Non può essere considerato inadempiente il trustee che abbia deciso di non investire il fondo in trust in attività finanziarie aventi un potenziale tasso di rischio, nel caso in cui tale decisione sia stata presa sulla base di un parere legale che abbia consigliato di non fare investimenti se non con la massima prudenza (e ciò anche nel caso in cui il parere si riveli errato). Inoltre, non sorge l’obbligo di distribuzione del fondo in trust in capo al trustee allorquando quest’ultimo non possa adempiere al medesimo senza violare, o rischiare di violare, il concomitante dovere in capo al medesimo di stabilire, al di là di ogni dubbio, l’identità della persona a cui il fondo viene distribuito. Il trustee non può quindi essere considerato inadempiente per il fatto di rifiutarsi di distribuire il fondo in trust fintanto che non accerti l’identità del beneficiario. The author’s view A trustee who has decided not to invest the trust fund in financial investments with a potential rate of risk cannot be considered in breach of duty if such decision has been taken on the basis of legal advice not to make investments except with the utmost prudence (even if the advice proves to be wrong). Moreover, the trustee’s duty to distribute the trust fund does not arise when the trustee cannot perform its duty without breaching, or risking breaching, its concomitant duty to establish, beyond doubt, the identity of the person to whom the fund is distributed. The trustee cannot therefore be considered in breach of duty for refusing to distribute the trust fund until it ascertains the identity of the beneficiary.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractObjective: Psychiatric illness and the use of psychotropic medication are recognised as factors that may impair driving ability. Clinicians in the UK have a legal duty to advise patients on the effects of illness and prescribed medication on driving ability. Although clinicians in Ireland have no equivalent legal obligations, good medical practice suggests that doctors should be aware of whether patients are active drivers, and issue appropriate advice, supported by adequate documentation in clinical notes.Method: The initial phase of the study analysed 44 outpatient records and 48 discharge records to ascertain the level of documentation regarding driving status, and advice given to patients regarding the effect of illness or medication on driving ability. The second phase involved distribution of an anonymous questionnaire to 18 psychiatrists employed in the acute psychiatric unit setting.Results: Although there was minimal documentation regarding the potential effect of illness on driving ability, more than 50% of case notes revealed documented advice to patients regarding side-effects of medication and driving ability. Over 50% of case notes contained advice about medication compliance, but none contained cautionary advice about operating machinery. All psychiatrists admitted not being aware of the driving status of every patient they reviewed. Over 50% admitted to advising patients of the effect of illness or medication on driving ability, but fewer reported documenting this advice on every occasion. All psychiatrists reported that they would benefit from training in this area.Conclusion: This study suggests that there is underdocumentation of advice given to patients regarding the effect of their symptoms or medication on driving ability. Clinicians need to improve their awareness of patients' driving status, in addition to receiving training on what their responsibilities are in this regard.

Full textAbstract:
Failure of medical advice by a medical practitioner can vitiate a patient’s consent to treatment giving rise to battery and it can also constitute a breach of the medical practitioner’s duty to inform bringing in negligence. This failure to inform pertains to the two torts of battery and negligence. What then is the distinction between medical trespass and medical negligence? The English cases from Chatterton v Gerson in 1981 to the recent leading case of Sidaway v Bethlem Royal Hospital Governors and Others have drawn a distinction. The distinction between the two torts is useful for the purposes of classification and application of tortious liability and is also necessary for the purpose of establishing the different functions of the two torts. Unfortunately, the distinction drawn is inappropriate. The article will first examine the distinction drawn by the cases between the two torts in this area of failure of medical advice; then it will discuss the difficulties in the distinction employed; and, finally, it will suggest a more appropriate relationship between medical trespass and negligence.

Raphael Hythlodaeus, the philosopher of Thomas More's Utopia, is generally considered to be an uncompromising and inflexible political idealist. However, Raphael may be more subde and complex than he is usually thought to be. Raphael may be capable of practical, prudent political advice, and may even desire to give such advice in some way, as long as his active participation in politics is not required. If this is true, then his real fault or blindness could be his lack of awareness of how vulnerable he is to the accusation that he is avoiding his public duty and not political idealism.

Full textAbstract:
Employing the concepts of risk and individualization of Beck and Beck-Gernsheim, this article analyses moral discourse in Canadian advice books on how to write a will and situates this advice within a history of inheritance in English Canada. The main finding is that estate planning experts downplay specific familial obligations and instead present estate planning as a procedural matter that entails risk calculations in areas such as familial relationships, care in old age and financial management. The moral issues in writing a will derive from this administrative emphasis. Our prime duty, apparently, is to avoid burdening others with decisions that were ours to make. Hence, the advice literature of estate planning affirms Beck and Beck-Gernsheim’s individualization thesis by asserting that in death, as in life, our social responsibility is to arrange and manage our personal affairs.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction Telephone triage services (TTS) play an increasing role in the delivery of healthcare. The objective of this study was to characterize the adult users of a TTS for non-critical emergencies, describe the types of advice given and their subsequent observation, and assess the influence of TTS on the use of the healthcare system in a sanitary region of Switzerland. Methods Data from a TTS based in the French part of Switzerland were analyzed. This service consists of a medical contact center for non-critical emergencies, with trained nurses available 24/7. A random selection of 2,034 adult calls was performed between July and December 2018. Research students contacted users 2 to 4 weeks after the initial call and assessed sociodemographic and clinical data, as well as the impact of the advice received on the use of the healthcare system. Results A sample of 412 users was included in the analyses. The average age was 49.0 (SD 20.4) years; 68.5% were women and 72.8% of Swiss origin. The two main recommendations provided by nurses were to consult the emergency department (ED) (44.6%, n = 184) and to contact a physician on duty (33.2%, n = 137). The majority of users followed the advice given by the nurses (substantial agreement [k = 0.79] with consulting the ED and perfect agreement [k = 0.87] with contacting a physician on duty). We calculated that calling the TTS could decrease the intention to visit the ED by 28.1%. Conclusion TTS for non-critical emergencies have the potential to decrease the use of ED services.

Inevitably at some time in a lawyer's professwnal life they will be requested to act for a client or cause which they find distasteful. They may have to answer the question of whether they would assist a remorseless killer to escape conviction on the ground of a mere legal technicality, or whether to refuse to prepare legal instruments that would or assist industrialists in pollution, or perhaps to provide legal advice regarding the avoidance of obligations under family law legislation. Such ethical dilemmas focus upon the legal representation of distasteful causes or clients. This article discusses the duty that a lawyer has as a 'legal professional' to undertake such representations. It considers the ideological foundation upon which this duty is built, and the consequences of the duty. It compares the English system, where the freedom to chose which clients to represent is denied, with the American system, where such freedom is honoured. From this comparison the American system is preferred, and reform of the New Zealand system is advocated .

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the following issue: how do managers understand their responsibility to train their subordinates? The authors focus on the most common errors that can turn the function of training into useless edifications, which trigger negative consequences and reactions of personnel. One of such errors is forced training when the employee is not ready for it. Another error is when manager fails to take into account the motives of the employee’s actions. Other mistakes include inappropriate learning methods or improper use of an initially appropriate method; public humiliation during training; negativity, criticism, and anger; inappropriate mode of communication; intrusion of manager’s opinion upon subordinates; inadequate conditions; no clear goal; no monitoring of behavioral changes, no feedback, etc. The paper contains useful recommendations to managers on how to avoid such situations: take into account the background of your communication partner; state your message clearly; avoid unnecessary personifications; explain the meaning of your advice; use your intonation wisely; avoid negativity and threats; address your employee by name; do not hesitate to use compliments; do not avoid questions; make joint decisions, etc. The optimal conditions of effective training include the following recommendations: demonstrate you care and support initiative; familiarize the employee with your vision of the situation; trust the trainee; be careful with humor; obtain feedback; use actual environment as a source of training cases; avoid criticism and public humiliation; do not postpone criticisms to the end of the day; use the advice of subordinates in their domain of competence, etc. The proposed recommendations can be used by heads of organizations to improve the training of subordinates, as well as to form and maintain long-term business relationships in the team.

Full textAbstract:
For noncitizen criminal defendants, a guilty sentence often means deportation. For many years, confusion and inconsistency governed the question of whether a criminal defense attorney had a duty to advise a noncitizen defendant on the immigration consequences of a conviction. Before Padilla v. Kentucky, thousands of defendants—especially those who were incarcerated—received no advice on immigration consequences and unknowingly signed pleas that would lead to their deportation. When the landmark Padilla decision was issued, defense attorney reactions ranged from ecstatic celebration to feigned nonchalance to outright panic. Everyone knew that they had just witnessed a revolution in the field of criminal justice, but no one knew when or how the casualties would arrive. Would every attorney be required to learn immigration law? Interpretations of Padilla vary, and many criminal defense attorneys remain uncertain of their obligations under Padilla and how to fulfill them.

Full textAbstract:
Much of the work of government is carried out by public servants with the assistance of lawyers. Because the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld) (‘Human Rights Act’) is intended to change the way government works, it also has consequences for the way public servants and lawyers carry out the work of government. This article explores the impact of the Human Rights Act on the ethical duties of public servants to give frank advice and to implement policy decisions faithfully, as well as the ethical duty of lawyers to act in their client’s best interests. While the Human Rights Act brings a new rigour to the frank advice that public servants must give, they must still respect the ultimate decision of the government of the day. Similarly, the Human Rights Act brings lawyers closer to the edge of legal and policy advice, but this article puts forward a ‘supervisory’ approach as one way that lawyers can avoid straying too far into policy development and debate. The Human Rights Act breathes new life into old ethical duties by reminding us of the importance of candour and fidelity. Equally, frank advice and collaboration between lawyers and policy officers breathe life into the ambition of the Human Rights Act.

However, unlike the English language, parenthetic elements expressing sensual attitude are not discussed in theGeorgian system of modality. The particle უნდა in the Georgian language is the equivalent of the English modal verbs ought, should, have to, must, but not the equivalent of the modal verbs need/need not, which belong to the group of above-mentioned English modal verbs. belonging to the same group.

Full textAbstract:
It is a widely held belief that persons handling imports and exports mainly need to know customs legislation and the rules on import/export prohibitions. However, insofar as the financial aspects of import are concerned, the amount of import Value Added Tax (VAT) is normally higher than that of customs duty, given that a high proportion of goods can be imported into the EU duty-free or at low duty rates, whereas for import VAT the standard rate ranges - depending on the Member State concerned - between 15% and 27%. Though VAT - different from customs duty - is intended to be borne by the final consumer and VAT relief is to be granted when goods are exported or brought to another Member State, there are a number of pitfalls which can lead to the result that the importer or exporter or his representative has to bear the burden of VAT. This article describes in a simple way the VAT rules for import (including import followed by an onward delivery to another Member State) and export and explains their link with, or divergence from, the customs rules. In order to facilitate comprehension and to limit the size of this article, not all details of the EU VAT legislation and its implementation by Member States are explained, so that for specific cases individual advice by a specialized lawyer or tax consultant should be sought in the Member State concerned.

Full textAbstract:
SummaryWith an ageing population and more drivers on the road, the number of drivers with dementia is due to grow exponentially over the next 50 years. Although decisions regarding possession of a driving licence in the UK are made by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), psychiatrists have a duty to advise patients who are unfit to drive to cease driving and to inform the DVLA of patients who pose a risk to the public by continuing to drive when advised not to. This article offers a review of the literature on dementia and driving and summarises the evidence and advice for navigating this minefield. The use of psychological test batteries in clinical practice is discussed, along with the most useful questions to ask in memory clinics. Legal guidance for various countries is considered, as is the important (but often overlooked) issue of helping older people prepare for retirement from driving.

Patient's expectations have changed from being an acceptor of doctors' orders to being an active partner in a therapeutic relationship. In Australia, General Practitioners (GPs) are the “gatekeepers” for specialists' referrals. The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) maintains an online searchable register of doctors. Details displayed include registration conditions, undertakings and reprimands. Doctors who practice privately in Australia are regarded as carrying on a business covered by consumer protection legislation. Australian Consumer Law (ACL) prohibits false or misleading representations in connection with the supply of goods or services. Under the ACL, a GP's conduct is misleading if representations about the specialist are inaccurate, or the overall impression conveyed is likely to mislead the patient. Many patients lack the time, energy or desire to seek out registration details of specialists, and rely on GP advice. A key issue for GPs is knowledge of any specialists' registration conditions: Is there a duty on a referring practitioner to check and advise the patient of any conditions? Is there a duty on the regulating body to advise practitioners of specialists whose registration is restricted? Even though disclosure may cause distress to the practitioner, this does not mean that disclosure would be unfair. Rather, the relevant question is whether there is a legitimate public safety interest in disclosure. A balance should be struck between the rights of the individual practitioners and the public expectation of safety, competency and currency. This paper suggests that consumer laws could be used strike this balance, requiring referring physicians to inform patients about the regulatory status of the physician to whom they are being referred.

Abstract: Discharges against medical advice (AMA) make up a significant number of hospital discharges in the United States, and often involve vulnerable patients who struggle to obtain adequate medical care. Unfortunately, much of the AMA discharge process focuses on absolving the medical center of liability for what happens to these patients once they leave the acute setting. Comparatively little attention is paid to the ethical obligations of the medical team once an informed decision to leave the acute care setting AMA has been made. Via a case narrative, we offer an ethical framework that we believe can help guide an ethically defensible AMA discharge process. By emphasizing our duty to provide the best care possible under the circumstances, we contend, our ethical obligations to promote the patient's best interests can still be met despite their decision to leave the acute setting against medical advice.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In the context of significant cuts to legal aid in the last decade in the UK, immigration detention remains in scope: indeed the argument that detention is legitimate rests partly on the claim that people can challenge it. Drawing on interviews with legal professionals combined with published data and reports, this article concludes that while the publicly funded Detention Duty Advice Scheme delivers advice and representation to many people held in detention, variations in access and quality give grounds for concern. Many people are also forced to rely on private solicitors, pro-bono provision and their own legal capabilities, raising questions regarding effective remedy and equality of access to justice. The article reviews the limited information available on representation types and rates, outcomes, and the wider impact of access to legal representation or the lack of it. The conclusion summarizes key points and explores ways forward.

Doctors owe a legal duty of care to patients, of which legal standard of care, especially on advice, evolves over time. With the modified Montgomery test, informed consent involves a process of best interests decision-making accompanied by disclosure of relevant information in a comprehensible fashion, to the patient. Ethical issues confronting treatment decision and advice are also manifold and have to be confronted. For example, in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an incurable disease, death is usually due to respiratory failure. Tracheostomy ventilation (TV) may be the only alternative to death, yet patients on TV may be subject to the relentless progression of ALS resulting in a locked-in state. Through a case vignette of invasive ventilation for ALS, we examine the ethical and legal issues regarding choice of assisted ventilation in these patients, especially for TV, to ensure reasoned and defensible methodology in patient care. We also include a tracheostomy counselling info kit applicable for use prior to tracheostomy insertion.

Full textAbstract:
e-Participation has one commonly acknowledged major weakness: The people actually participating often do not represent the whole population of the respective political entity, severe biases can be observed with respect to overrepresentation of some groups and underrepresentation of other. Unfortunately, there is, according to our knowledge, no much systematic empirical evidence of citizen participation processes available; at least in Baden-Württemberg. Participation is still, like in ancient democracies, restricted to those who can afford the time budget necessary. In ancient Athens merchants, craftsmen etc. had only little time for politics whilst others, especially landlords, heirs and noblemen had the necessary resources to devote more time to politics, so both a regular compensation and a random selection for mandatory political duty were introduced. Such a random selection is still established in our contemporary societies, above all regarding jury duty. The paper analyzes the strength and weaknesses of such a random selection and whether it contributes to the functioning of e-participation. Finally, it gives some advice in order to improve eparticipation and, in general, all participation processes.

This paper uses data from a major logistics service provider in Gothenburg (Sweden) to (i) identify the different activities in a typical urban distribution tour, (ii) quantify the time required by drivers to perform each of these activities, and (iii) identify potential initiatives to improve time efficiency. To do so, the authors collected GPS data, conducted a time-study of the activities performed by the drivers for a week, conducted a focus group with the drivers, and a set of interviews with managers. The results show that driving represents only 30% of the time, another 15% is spent on breaks, and the remaining 55% is used to perform activities related to customer service, freight handling, and planning. The latter are subdivided into multiple activities, each taking a small amount of time. A focus group with the drivers and some interviews revealed several initiatives to improve time efficiency. Most initiatives can bring small gains, but when aggregating all potential time savings there is a big potential to improve overall time efficiency. Initiatives with highest potential and low cost are: providing better pre-advice on upcoming customers, improving route planning, having hand-free cell phone use, and enhancing handling equipment.

Full textAbstract:
Even the most sympathetic readers of Kant's moral philosophy usually disagree with him about some aspect of his theory, or some particular moral judgement. His unqualified condemnation of lying in the essay ‘On a supposed right to lie from philanthropy’ is a classical case in question, as is his strong endorsement of retributive justice and the death penalty. A third prominent source of discontent are Kant's repeated verdicts on the moral status of non-human animals, or rather the lack thereof. For, despite the fact that his practical recommendations in this field are sensible and even progressive, he repeatedly insists that there are no direct duties to animals, that the well-being of animals is morally indifferent, in particular that we ought to treat animals decently solely for the sake of humanity. As a result, the foundations of his advice seem morally inadequate, even offensive.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article examines advice literature directed at English-speaking members of the American Catholic priesthood in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. From the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1884 through the late 1920s, advice literature transformed from emphasizing how the priest should be a man set above the laity into emphasizing how the priest should be part of a broad priestly fraternity, taking on the role of a public citizen speaking out on issues of the day. After the modernist controversies of the first decade of the twentieth century that stifled their intellectual development, American priests’ seminary training particularly emphasized virile masculinity, athletic rigor, and duty and conformity to their superiors. In the late nineteenth century, advice literature encouraged priests to see their lives together in rectories as schools of charity, where all of the priests would, with the assistance of obedient and nonthreatening household staff, encourage each other to be men of prayer and self-sacrifice despite each others’ individual foibles. Every aspect of a priest's life, from the rectory environment to his clothing and bearing, was supposed to mark him as a man set apart. During and after World War I, however, advice literature shifted from addressing the priest's life in his rectory and parish alone to encouraging him to participate in civic duties as an American citizen. Diocesan priests like John A. Ryan took a lead role in advocating for social reforms that married public policy with social and economic justice. While priests’ sacramental duties remained at the center of their lives and ministries, advice literature nonetheless encouraged them to rethink their place in the sociocultural landscape and to become more vocal promoters of Catholic values in the public sphere.

Unregulated law clinics in England and Wales are prohibited from directly offering immigration advice and assistance. This article argues that this restriction should not be a barrier to teaching immigration law. Kant’s duty-based ethics and his cosmopolitan right can provide a useful normative framework for challenging the political status quo in relation to the regulation of law clinics and policies affecting migrants. It is argued that introducing normative values into Clinical Legal Education can address the limitations of the conventional ‘hired-gun’ model and engender students to a more holistic approach to lawyering. In other words, a model which promotes the causes of third parties.

Full textAbstract:
AimsThe Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in England, Scotland and Wales are legally responsible for deciding if a person is medically unfit to drive. This means they need to know if a person holding a driving licence has a condition or is undergoing treatment that may now, or in the future, affect their safety as a driver. The driver is legally responsible for telling the DVLA about any such condition or treatment. Doctors should therefore alert patients to conditions and treatments that might affect their ability to drive and remind them of their duty to tell the appropriate agency. Patients with acute schizophrenia or an acute psychotic disorder must not drive and must notify the DVLA. In alliance with the above, the GMC advises that clinicians have a responsibility to explain the above information to the patient and inform them that they have a legal duty to inform the DVLA. Doctors should also inform patients that relevant medical information may need disclosing about them to the DVLA if they continue to drive against advice, and any advice given should be documented. The main objective of this audit is to identify if notification of DVLA for forensic patients living in supported accommodation, is in accordance with the DVLA guidelines.MethodsA total of 12 residents living in community forensic supported accommodation who have a notifiable diagnosis were included. Data collection took place in September 2021, looking through all previous records relating to the search words “DVLA”, “drive”, “driving” and “license”. Data audited were from the trust's electronic patient records.ResultsDiagnoses included paranoid schizophrenia, delusional disorder and personality disorder. Antipsychotic medications included Olanzapine (oral and IM), Clozapine and Zuclopenthixol +/- antidepressants. Legal status included community treatment orders (civil section), voluntary community patients and those on a conditionally discharged restriction under secretary of State supervision. Two patients held full driving licences and a further two held provisional licences, with DVLA documented discussions and notification compliance at 100%. The remaining eight patients had no documentation regarding driving nor DVLA discussions or notification.ConclusionThis audit found that DVLA discussions are not currently well documented, with only four patient records that have this recorded. Although it is the clinical team's responsibility to advise the patient to notify the DVLA, it is ultimately the patient's responsibility to notify the DVLA themselves. DVLA discussions need to be had regardless of driving status and documentation should reflect this.

Full textAbstract:
All causes of action in tort, like all causes of action generally, are constituted by elements or ingredients. It is often the case that these elements are not crisply separated from each other. That is certainly so in relation to the cause of action in negligence, it having regularly been pointed out that none of its elements is self-contained. Denning L.J. took that view further than most. In Roe v Minister of Health [1954] 2 Q.B. 66, 86, he asserted: “you will find that the three questions, duty, causation, and remoteness, run continually into one another. It seems that they are simply three different ways of looking at one and the same problem.” More commonly it is accepted that although the various elements of the tort of negligence overlap, they nonetheless retain separate identities. Thus, determining whether the tort of negligence has been committed is not generally understood as requiring a single homogeneous enquiry but an analysis whereby one examines each element of the action seriatim in order to determine whether it is present. This conventional understanding was embraced by Lord Simons, delivering the advice of the Privy Council in Overseas Tankship (UK) Ltd. v Morts Dock & Engineering Co. Ltd. [1961] A.C. 388, 425, when he said: “It is, no doubt, proper when considering tortious liability for negligence to analyse its elements and to say that the plaintiff must prove a breach of duty owed by him to the defendant, a breach of that duty by the defendant, and consequent damage.”

Full textAbstract:
Spanish periphrases haber que + infinitive (‘one has to’) and tener que + infinitive (‘have to + infinitive’) convey a modal deontic meaning. Since haber is an impersonal verb in Spanish it is mandatorily conjugated in third person (hay que, habrá que, habría que…). Thus, haber que + infinitive is considered as an impersonal construction meaning ‘instruction’, ‘advice’ or ‘recommendation’. On the contrary, due to its possible conjugation with personal and verbal forms the periphrasis tener que + infinitive means an unavoidable or normative duty to be accomplished by someone. In this paper both periphrases are compared and analyzed as resources that help to create (de)subjectivizing communicative styles which are unequally distributed across different communicative situations and participants.

ObjectivesTo describe the activities of general practitioners (GPs) pertaining to primary prevention in the field of affective and sexual life, studying the advice they provide as well as their vaccination practices.DesignCross-sectional national survey.Setting/participantsThe study was carried out using the Swiss Primary Care Active Monitoring GPs’ network, a national GP network created in 2012. One hundred and seventy Swiss GPs, from a random sample from professional lists stratified by canton, participated in the present study.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPrevention practices against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) performed by GPs through advice provided as well as their vaccination practices. Predictive factor of these practices through their links with the doctors’ relevant characteristics and their opinions about STI prevention.ResultsApproximately 80% consider prevention in the area of affective and sexual life to be part of their duty and discuss it easily with patients. Most of them spontaneously give advice regarding STIs during a routine consultation. Regarding human papillomavirus (HPV) immunisation in adults, almost half of GPs report never doing it, while almost 75% often or always immunise their adult patients against hepatitis B. Higher numbers of consultations per day are associated with vaccinating more adults against HPV (OR 1.13 (1.05 to 1.23)) and against hepatitis A (OR 1.17 (1.05 to 1.31)). Vaccinating children against hepatitis B is associated with practising in rural areas (OR 4.64 (1.20 to 17.98)). GPs practising in the French-speaking region of Switzerland immunise children less against HPV (OR 0.40 (0.20 to 0.80)). Longer consultations are associated with providing advice on affective and sexual life during a first consultation (OR 1.08 (1.01 to 1.14)).ConclusionSwiss GPs are involved in primary prevention against STIs and consider it as their responsibility. Prevention practices are associated with GPs’ favourable opinions on prevention.

AimsTo assess the compliance of the clinicians in EIP team with DVLA guidelines. Objectives: To assess if there was documented evidence of: 1)Patient's diagnosis, 2)Patients’ driving status, 3)Type of vehicle driven, 4)Informing the patient that their condition may affect their ability to drive, 5)Advice regarding driving restrictions where applicable, 6)Informing the patient that they have a legal duty to inform the DVLA about their conditionMethodsWe selected two-thirds of the patients(n = 40) enrolled in the EIP service in the last year by consecutive sampling. We collected the data retrospectively from the clinical documentation and analysed it using excel sheets.ResultsThe mean age of the study sample was 34 years. 95%(n = 38) had a documented diagnosis, 67.5%(n = 27) had a documented driving status. The documentation of driving status was completed by doctors in 52%(n = 14), nurses in 26%(n = 7) and by both in 22% (n = 6). The type of vehicle driven was documented for only 33%(5) of the drivers. Among the drivers identified 33%(n = 5) had been informed that their condition might affect their driving, 67%(n = 10) had received information on driving restrictions and 47%(n = 7) had received information that they have a legal duty to inform the DVLA.Discussion:One of the reasons for the low compliance may be because another team might have documented the information at the time of referral. It is possible that the professional involved did elicit the information but didn't document the same. Healthcare professionals(HCP) have to identify, discuss and document driving-related information as advised by the DVLA. In cases where the patients’ don't follow the advice, the HCP must notify the DVLA.ConclusionAssessment of driving history and the risks associated are critical. Awareness should be raised among the clinicians (through training and team meetings). This practice should be made an integral part of the structured initial assessments. Patients can be offered information leaflets. If successfully implemented, it will prevent unsafe driving and minimise the risk of harm for the patient and other road users.

Considering the geographical complexity and adversity, online communication and consultation are viable method in Nepal. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the already starting trend of use of these technologies in medicine. In BPKIHS, telemedicine efforts were already initiated; lockdown rather warranted its maximum use. Here is an account of the observation made in telepsychiatry service provided by a consultant psychiatrist of its department of psychiatry. It is an institute-based observation noted for all the telepsychiatry consultations in 9 random duty days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Basic necessary information was noted down in a semi-structured proforma, like: socio-demographic, clinical information and advice provided. There were 104 subjects; 73 follow-up and 31 new: 60 male and 44 female cases. Clients of multi-ethnic groups were the most from urban, then semi-urban and least from rural areas. More consultations were for young age-groups and from nearby districts of Sunsari. Mood, somatic (sleep), anxiety were the top presenting complaints and 8/104 clients had suicidal symptoms. Maximum follow-up cases were improving. The most common diagnoses were: Mood (Depression and Bipolar), Anxiety, Psychosis and Substance use disorders. Most common treatment advices included: Antidepressants, Antipsychotics, Benzodiazepines and Counseling/psycho-education. Telepsychiatry is a viable method of delivering service even during the pandemic.
