We present a generalized perturbative analytical formalism for evaluation and optimization of the chromatic dispersion of complex ultrafast optical systems. Notably, we identify polynomial and recursive relations associated with the chromatic dispersion orders that are identical to the Lah and Laguerre transforms. We explicitly outline the first ten dispersion terms and dispersion slope parameters and visualize the significance of the chromatic dispersion orders for several advanced ultrafast optical and photonic systems consisting of various optical materials and nanostructures, grating and prism-pair compressors, and hollow-core photonic anti-resonant fibers. The derived simple hypergeometric transforms are applicable for evaluation of infinitely high orders for any type of frequency-dependent phase and can facilitate the optimization of complex optical systems with controlled dispersion balance at the single-cycle waveform extreme.
Open access. Commissioning is a term used in the English National Health Service (NHS) to refer to what most health systems call health planning or strategic purchasing. Drawing on research from a recent in-depth mixed methods study of a major integrated care initiative in North West London, we examine the role of commissioning in attempts to secure large-scale change within and between health and social care services to support the delivery of integrated care for people living with complex long-term conditions.

NHS England’s belated decision to change the name of accountable care systems to integrated care systems has the virtue of describing more accurately the work being done in the 10 areas of England operating in this way. Despite this, there is understandable confusion in many quarters about NHS England’s plans, and uncertainty about what they mean for the NHS in the medium term.
This Commons Library briefing paper looks at the introduction of Accountable Care Organisations (ACOs) in the NHS in England, the development of the ACO policy, and comment on its potential impact.
n our new report – Some assembly required: implementing new models of care – we set out ten lessons for local leaders seeking to systematically make changes across services in their area. These are based on first-hand accounts of clinicians and managers from NHS England’s new care models programme vanguard sites, who have developed and tested new ways of joining up health and social care services.
Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP) is delighted to announce that it has been awarded the contract to provide primary care services at Willaston Surgery, from December 2017.
Willaston Surgery, a GP Practice near Neston in Cheshire, becomes the second GP practice to be managed by the Trust
CNWL have formed a partnership with Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Brunel University London to fund the new Brunel Partners Academic Centre for Health Sciences.
The partnership is a response to increasing patient demands and expectations and the rising cost of healthcare delivery. The Centre will change the way health and social care is delivered to meet the changing needs of society.
A system where all patients have a telephone call with their GP before an appointment decreased the number of face-to-face consultations but increased telephone consultations. There was an overall 8% increase in the time GPs spent consulting, though there was large variation across practices.
In April 2016, control of Greater Manchester’s £6 billion combined health and social care budget was handed over to local leaders as part of the first devolution deal of its kind. Since then, local NHS and local government leaders, clinicians and wider partners have been working together to develop services suited to the needs of the 2.8 million people who live in Greater Manchester.
