What if changes to our healthcare facilities actually improved the way care is delivered, allowing providers to increase the quality of care and the predictability of outcomes while also significantly decreasing the costs to provide that care? What if the resulting facility were also less expensive and faster to produce? Could this building provide a safer environment and be itself a quality space? If the answers to these questions are yes, then the building is far more than a solution to providing greater capacity: it is the engine that can empower a whole new model of care in this country and beyond. This manifesto explores the ways we could literally leapfrog our current crisis in healthcare to provide quality care to everyone who needs it, achieve great outcomes for patients while effectively managing costs. It does so by bringing forward a tool we have overlooked: architecture.

Contains the full texts of Cardinal Francesco Gonzaga's will and the post-mortem inventory of his possessions (1483), together with related correspondence. This book analyzes these texts and provides background information about the man himself and his collections.

Every trainee in anaesthesia requires a thorough understanding of basic physiology and its application to clinical practice. This comprehensively illustrated textbook bridges the gap between medical school and reference scientific texts. It covers the physiology requirements of the Primary FRCA examination syllabus. Chapters are organised by organ system, with particular emphasis given to the respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems. The practical question-and-answer format helps the reader prepare for the oral examination, while 'clinical relevance' boxes translate the physiological concepts to clinical practice. The authors include two medical physiologists and a Specialty Registrar in anaesthesia, and thereby bring a unique blend of expertise. This ensures that the book is up-to-date, accessible, and pitched appropriately for the trainee anaesthetist. Packed with easily understood, up-to-date and clinically relevant material, this convenient volume provides an essential 'one-stop' resource in physiology for junior anaesthetists.
