Obama Pitches Health Reform To Public And Congress, Argues Inaction Is Unacceptable
"With many Americans growing anxious about his plans to overhaul the nation"s healthcare system, President Obama on Wednesday sought to lay out in personal terms how they stand to gain from the legislation that he has made one of the top goals of his presidency," the Los Angeles Times reports. He used the speech to reach out to people who already have insurance, arguing that skyrocketing costs must be slowed and that inaction would hobble businesses and families alike. In making the case for health reform to the American public, however, Obama described specific policy ideas and "relied on jargon that Washington insiders embrace but that might leave the typical television viewer mystified" (Nicholas, Parsons and Levey, 7/23).

Recent Survey Suggests Complications With Permanent Fillers - 1 In 4 UK Surgeons Have Seen Patients With Complications
A new survey completed by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (BAAPS) suggests that patients may experience higher complication rates with permanent cosmetic fillers than with other types of cosmetic injections. The survey reveals 38.5% of surgeons saw 1-3 patients over the past year experiencing complications with permanent facial fillers, and 23% of surgeons saw 1-3 patients in the past year with complications so severe surgery was needed to treat those complications. "Permanent fillers present challenges, particularly for inexperienced injectors," says Coalition leader Julius Few, MD, a plastic surgeon practicing in Chicago, IL. "In addition to potential complications that may develop years after injection, the challenge of a permanent, synthetic filler is the anticipation of aging changes and the need for outcomes that will not look unnatural over time. To date, fat continues to be the option closest to a permanent filler with a proven safety record."

General Optical Council Consults On Welsh Language Scheme, Wales

The General Optical Council (GOC) has launched a consultation on its proposed Welsh Language Scheme. Anyone with an interest in the GOC"s work is encouraged to offer their suggestions and feedback on the draft proposals. Under the scheme, when providing services to the public in Wales the GOC will aim to treat the English and Welsh languages equally. Kate Fielding, GOC Director of Communication and Information, said: "Bilingual provision plays a crucial role in enabling the Council to deliver high-quality services to the Welsh-speaking public. Our Welsh Language Scheme needs to be fit for purpose, and we"re asking for stakeholder input to help us achieve this." Measures outlined in the draft proposals include: - Making public/ patient areas of the GOC website available in Welsh; - Producing a Welsh version of the GOC Annual Report; - Offering witnesses in Fitness to Practise hearings the opportunity to address the hearing in Welsh; and - Maintaining a database of individuals and organisations who wish to correspond in Welsh. The consultation has been distributed to patient and public groups, optical and regulatory bodies, community health councils, and Welsh-speaking community contacts. Public notices of the consultation are also appearing in The Western Mail and the Welsh-language magazine Golwg. The consultation closes on 11 September and is available to view and respond to online at http://www.optical.org.
