I was lucky enough to work with and learn from patients and staff at St Francis earlier this year. It is hoped that this short term residency will bring symbiotic benefits to the Hospice of St Francis and the work I carry out for the Digital Legacy Association and MyWishes.

TalkCPR wins an NHS Wales Award

Over the last two years I have helped with the development a toolkit by the Velindre Cancer Centre called TalkCPR. The aim of the project TalkCPR’ is to ease communication and dialogue between patients with palliative illnesses and their healthcare professionals in relation to the complex area of Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Decisions (DNACPR). In order to facilitate effective communication and transfer good quality knowledge to patients and those close to them, a novel video and website approach was used .

TalkCPR won an NHS Wales Award within the ‘Improving Quality Together (IQT) Methodology’ category.

Advertising Spend Statistics 2013

A recent study by Advertising Age found that more than half of marketer and agency professionals surveyed predicted they would increase ad spending in digital media during the next 12 months. This is a far greater percentage when compared to the same for traditional channels such as cable TV (31%), broadcast TV (20%), magazines (14%) and national newspapers (11%).

Social Media TV’s

Social Media TV's (aka Social Media TV's & SMART TV's) are transforming the way in which we watch TV and consume content. Social Media TV's allows viewers to share and discuss what is being watched.
