England’s Chief Inspector of Hospitals has found that the services provided by Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust have improved following the latest inspection by the Care Quality Commission.

As a result of the latest inspection in January 2017, the trust has been rated as Good overall, and Outstanding for being caring. Safety is rated Requires Improvement.
South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust’s rating upgraded to Good as services to patients improve
England’s Chief Inspector of Hospitals has upgraded the overall rating of South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust from Requires Improvement to Good following an inspection earlier this year.
During this inspection, the team looked areas where the trust had been told they must improve during a comprehensive inspection in March 2016.
In Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust we have been working over the past six months to embed outcome measurement in routine practice through the Psychological Medicine Clinical Network. Eight of our liaison mental health departments meet regularly to share ideas and learn from each other’s successes and failures. From this we’re identifying the factors needed to support effective use of the FROM-LP, and the benefits this kind of information can bring both to our patients and our services.
We are delighted to report that the latest inspection report on our Trust from the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care in England, has rated us as Good overall.
Four months ago a team from the CQC visited us to carry out an inspection. During the announced inspection in November 2016, the CQC team visited 28 wards, teams and clinics and spoke to staff, service users, relatives and carers, attended meetings and joined care professionals for home visits and clinic appointments.
P. Adamopoulos. ICIS, Association for Information Systems, (2013)The findings of our analysis illustrate that Professor(s) is the most important factor in online course retention and has the largest positive effect on the probability of a student to successfully complete a course. The sentiment of students for Assignments and Course Material also has positive effects on the successful completeness of a course whereas the Discussion Forum has a positive effect on the probability to partially complete a course. Furthermore, self-paced courses have a negative effect, compared to courses that follow a specific timetable. In addition, the difficulty, the workload, and the duration of a course have a negative effect. On the other hand, for the more difficult courses, self-paced timetable, longer duration in weeks, and more workload have a positive effect on the probability to successfully complete a course. Besides, final exams and projects, open textbooks, and peer assessment have also positive effects. Moreover, whether a certificate is awarded upon the successful completion of a course also affects retention. Additionally, the better a university is considered (i.e. higher ranking), the more likely that a student will successfully complete a course. Further, our results illustrate that the courses which belong to the academic disciplines of Business and Management, Computer Science, and Science have a positive significant effect in contrast to courses in other disciplines (i.e. Engineering, Humanities, and Mathematics). Finally, attrition was not found to be related with student characteristics (i.e. gender, formal education)..
