Each conference is different, and each can present a new problem to the unprepared, even to the most experienced conference organiser. This book provides immediate, accessible advice on how to run an effective event, featuring a wealth of practical tips, guidelines, case studies, action checklists, and useful sample material and templates. All areas of organisation are covered, including: managing, planning, contingency planning, targeting, costing and budgeting, housekeeping, administering, assuring the quality of content, evaluating, disseminating and ensuring continuity.

The Construction of Environmental News - A Study of Scottish Journalism (Paperback): Fiona Campbell The Construction of Environmental News - A Study of Scottish Journalism (Paperback)
Fiona Campbell
R210 Discovery Miles 2 100 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

First published in 1999, this volume is drawn from a 1992-1996 study and seeks to explain the news process used to identify a newsworthy issue and its application to understanding the construction of environmental news. Drawing upon information retrieval and dissemination via journalists, newspapers, television and radio stations, Fiona Campbell examines the co-existence of two extreme, different professions for a common aim. She argues that environmental information is pluralistic and complex, holding information meanings inherent in it, and that environmental news is a version of interpreted environmental information. Campbell discusses the idea that information changes as journalists gather, interpret and disseminate environmental information. A model is included, which describes the flow of environmental information in the media and shows that journalists retrieve information from a complex range of sources and repackage it in a simplified format. Campbell investigates the ways in which reporters routines their work procedures and how they apply the rules implicit in the news process. It examines the techniques used by journalists to evaluate news potential in environmental issues, the practices used to gather information and the methods employed to construct the news.

The Mass Retrofitting of an Energy Efficient-Low Carbon Zone (Paperback, 2014 ed.): Mark Deakin, Fiona Campbell, Alasdair Reid,... The Mass Retrofitting of an Energy Efficient-Low Carbon Zone (Paperback, 2014 ed.)

R1,750 Discovery Miles 17 500 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Maximizing reader insights into the strategic value of mass retrofits in the residential property sector through a detailed case study analysis of the 'Hackbridge project', this book uses this development to broaden understanding of how planners may perform urban regeneration in accordance with a centralized plan. This book demonstrates how urban morphology matters, not only with respect to either the geometry of design and construction systems, or occupational behaviours, but with regards to the potential with which the planning, (re)development, design, construction, use and occupation of buildings, has to not only lower levels of energy consumption and rates of carbon emission, but also to reduce global warming associated with climate change. Delivering a critique of the state-of-the-art on urban morphology, the geometry of design typologies, construction systems and occupational behaviours and armed with the critical insights this offers, this book offers a context-specific analysis of how institutions can begin to actively plan for, integrate and sustain the development of energy efficient-low carbon zones.

Understanding Health Services (Paperback, 2nd edition): Ipek Gurol-Urganci, Fiona Campbell, Nick Black Understanding Health Services (Paperback, 2nd edition)
Ipek Gurol-Urganci, Fiona Campbell, Nick Black
R879 Discovery Miles 8 790 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

No single discipline can provide a full account of why health care is the way it is. Introducing an accessible overview of health services and drawing on medicine, sociology, economics, history and epidemiology, this book provides a series of conceptual frameworks which help to clarify some of the complexity that confronts the inexperienced observer. Helping to determine what influences and shapes health services, it also examines some of the key processes involved in providing healthcare, considering three levels: individual patients, health care organizations such as hospitals, and regional or national institutions such as governments. This second edition has been updated to include recent developments and further examples and activities from low, middle and high income countries. The book examines: * how medical knowledge, staff, patients and finance shape health services * what factors influence utilization of health services * the roles played by users of health services * how to define and measure outcomes and assess performance * how practice and policy can be changed to improve the quality of health care Understanding Health Services, 2nd Edition is an essential resource for students of public health and health policy, researchers, public health practitioners and policy makers. Understanding Public Health is an innovative series published by Open University Press in collaboration with the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, where it is used as a key learning resource for postgraduate programmes. It provides self-directed learning covering the major issues in public health affecting low, middle and high income countries. "This excellent book provides an ideal background to understanding how health services work and how they can be studied. Not tied to any particular country, it includes key chapters on how health services have developed and are organised, need and demand, the role of health professionals, and measuring and improving quality of care. The book is ideal reading for students on Masters courses in public health and related subjects from high-, middle- and low-income countries and includes learning objectives and exercises in each chapter which can be completed individually or used for discussion. Strongly recommended." Martin Roland, Emeritus Professor of Health Services Research, University of Cambridge, UK "Health services are central to attaining high levels of population health and providing those services consumes a substantial share of our financial resources. This book provides a splendid introduction to many of the key building blocks including medical knowledge and other key inputs, payment and other factors that influence utilization, and in turn quality of care and outcomes. The learning objectives are a wonderful aid for self-directed learning as are the directed activities and feedback, the text is lucid and the main concepts are very easy to access. This is a great book for someone looking to develop a broad understanding of health services. I will be surprised if it does not become a classic. It will surely be at the top of my list of recommended readings for my own students." Arnold M Epstein, John H Foster Professor and Chair, Department of Health Policy and Management, Harvard School of Public Health, USA

R214 Discovery Miles 2 140 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Many people who become business leaders do so little or no training in the art of communicating with others. If you are serious about developing your communication skills as a leader, getting to know how others see you is the first place to start. In this book Fiona Campbell shares the techniques she teaches senior executives to enhance their communications skills for building effective teams, developing their key people, growing their business and creating a great place to work. She introduces how to use the R.A.F.T. (c) Model to find out how the results you get are impacted by your actions, feeling and thoughts. Readers of this book have said: "Steven Covey said "Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall." The author has written a book which recognises the difference between management and leadership. This publication alone won't make you the perfect communicator but it will DEFINITELY make understand why you want to communicate, to whom and what your audience needs to hear - and actually that's what it's all about. Steven Covey would approve, so do I." "Succinct, simple, as it should be, and very much to the point. Vital for business leaders to understand the simplicity and lack of ego required to get not only results, but a cohesive team, and loyalty, with which results are achieved." "This little gem is great.... a simple book about good communication using the basic principles of NLP and common sense, of course, not that common in the modern world. I really enjoyed it.&quo
