AAA screening leaflet - Public Health England

Description
Chest Heart Aorta with an aneurysm Abdomen Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening A free NHS check for men aged 65 and over Public Health England (PHE) created this leaflet on behalf of the NHS ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM SCREENING PROGRAMME Overview This leaflet provides information on abdominal aortic aneurysm screening (also called AAA screening) for men aged 65 and over. It explains what an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is and what happens when you go for screening. It should help you decide if you want to be screened. The AAA screening check is a simple free ultrasound scan. Who we screen The NHS invites all men for screening in the year they turn 65. Men over 65 Men aged over 65 who have not been screened before can contact their local service to arrange a test. Abdominal aortic aneurysm The aorta is the main blood vessel that supplies blood to your body. It runs from your heart down through your chest and abdomen. In some people, as they get older, the wall of the aorta in the abdomen can become weak. It can then start to expand and form an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The condition is most common in men aged 65 and over. 2 ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM SCREENING PROGRAMME Chest Heart Abdominal aorta Abdomen Chest Heart Abdominal aorta Abdomen Chest Heart Aorta with an aneurysm Abdomen 3 ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM SCREENING PROGRAMME Potential risks of an abdominal aortic aneurysm Large aneurysms are rare but can be very serious. As the wall of the aorta stretches it becomes weaker and can burst, causing internal bleeding. Around 85 out of 100 people die when an aneurysm bursts. An aorta which is only slightly enlarged is not dangerous. However, if the aorta measures between 3.0cm and 5.4cm it is important that we keep checking it to see if it is getting bigger. Benefits of screening If you have an aneurysm you will not usually notice any symptoms. This means you cannot tell if you have one, will not feel any pain and will probably not notice anything different. We offer screening so we can find aneurysms early and monitor or treat them. This greatly reduces the chances of the aneurysm causing serious problems. The easiest way to find out if you have an aneurysm is to have an ultrasound scan of your abdomen. Around 1 in 92 men who are screened have an abdominal aortic aneurysm. 4 ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM SCREENING PROGRAMME Risk factors Men are 6 times more likely to have an abdominal aortic aneurysm than women, which is why women are not offered screening. The chance of having an aneurysm increases with age. Your chance of having an abdominal aortic aneurysm can also increase if: • you are or have ever been a smoker • you have high blood pressure • your brother, sister or parent has, or has had, an abdominal aortic aneurysm 5 ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM SCREENING PROGRAMME AAA screening test We use a simple ultrasound scan, similar to that offered to pregnant women. This is very quick and usually lasts less than 10 minutes. At the clinic we will check your personal details, explain the scan and give you the chance to ask any questions. We will ask you to lie down and lift up or unbutton your shirt. You will not need to undress. We will put a cool gel on your abdomen. We will then slide the scanning sensor over your skin. The scan will show a picture of the aorta on a screen and we will measure it. We will tell you your result straight away and also send a copy to your GP practice. 6 ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM SCREENING PROGRAMME Your personal information The NHS AAA Screening Programme needs to process your data in order to provide a safe and effective service. By law, everyone working in, or on behalf of, the NHS must respect your privacy and keep all information about you safe. The NHS Constitution sets out how the NHS should handle your records to protect your privacy. In addition, there are laws in place to ensure confidentiality is maintained. The NHS Screening Programmes use personally identifiable information about you to ensure you are invited for screening at the right time. Public Health England also uses your information to ensure you receive high quality care. You can find out more about how your information is used and protected, and your options, at www.gov.uk/phe/screening-data. Find out how to opt out of screening at www.gov.uk/phe/screening-opt-out. Information for transgender and non-binary people about NHS population screening programmes is available at: www.gov.uk/government/publications/nhs-populationscreening-information-for-transgender-people 7 ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM SCREENING PROGRAMME Possible screening results: No aneurysm found If your aorta is less than 3cm wide, this means you do not have an aneurysm. Most men have this result. No treatment or monitoring is needed afterwards. We will not invite you for AAA screening again. Small aneurysm If your aorta is between 3cm and 4.4cm wide, you have a small aneurysm. We invite men with a small aneurysm back for scans every 12 months to check if it is getting bigger. Medium aneurysm If your aorta is between 4.5cm and 5.4cm wide, you have a medium aneurysm. We invite men with a medium aneurysm back for scans every 3 months to check if it is getting bigger. Large aneurysm If your aorta is 5.5cm wide or bigger, you have a large aneurysm. Only about 1 in 1,000 men who are screened have a large aneurysm. We give men with a large aneurysm an appointment with a specialist team to have more scans and talk about possible treatment, usually an operation. 8 ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM SCREENING PROGRAMME Monitoring a small or medium aneurysm You will not need treatment at this stage. However, it is important to monitor the size of the aneurysm as you might need treatment if it gets bigger. Most aneurysms get bigger very slowly, so many men with a small or medium aneurysm will never need treatment. We will invite you to come back for scans every year if you have a small aneurysm or every three months if you have a medium aneurysm. We will give you advice on reducing the chance of the aneurysm getting larger. Your GP practice may also want to give you tablets or review your current medication. They may also want to check your blood pressure. Treating a large aneurysm If we find a large aneurysm, we will refer you to a specialist team. They will carry out some more tests and a specialist will discuss possible treatment with you. This is typically an operation, usually arranged within a few weeks if you decide you want it. During the time when a large AAA is untreated, you may need to stop driving and to check health-related insurance, such as travel insurance. Treatment for aneurysms that are found using screening is usually very effective. There are risks from treatment which will be explained in detail by the specialist. Not everyone who has a large aneurysm will have an operation. 9 ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM SCREENING PROGRAMME Risks from screening There is no risk from the scan itself. However, around 41 out of every 10,000 men screened will eventually have surgery to repair an aneurysm. On average, 1 of these 41 men will not survive the operation but their aneurysm may never have burst if left untreated. Screening does not completely remove the risk of an aneurysm bursting but it is the best method of protection against this condition. Other conditions Screening is just to see if you have an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It does not look for other conditions. If you are worried about any medical problem you should speak to your GP practice. Accuracy of screening test The scan used to find aneurysms is very reliable. No screening test can be completely effective but it is very rare for a man to develop a large aneurysm if no aneurysm is found by screening. Sometimes the person carrying out the scan will not be able to see the aorta clearly. This is nothing to worry about and they will ask you to have another scan, usually on a different day. 10 ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM SCREENING PROGRAMME More information • If you have been invited for screening, the phone number for your local screening service is on your appointment letter • You can find information about the NHS AAA Screening Programme and contact details for your local service at www.nhs.uk/aaa • You can read an online version of this leaflet at www.gov.uk/phe/aaa-screening-leaflet • The Circulation Foundation supports people with diseases of the veins and arteries, known as vascular diseases, including abdominal aortic aneurysms. www.circulationfoundation.org.uk • The British Heart Foundation: www.bhf.org.uk • You can also speak to your GP practice 11 O8 An HTML version of this leaflet is available.

Commercial filming protocol

Description
Commercial and production filming policy 1 Introduction University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is a popular location and requests for filming from various commercial companies and television production companies are received throughout the year. News and media filming is not part of this policy and is managed separately by the communications team (023 8120 8756 or media@uhs.nhs.uk). This document outlines the Trust protocol for processing external enquiries and bookings, agreeing charges where appropriate and establishing guidelines for filming at Trust premises. This filming protocol has been developed in consultation with University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust's commercial development and communications teams. 2 Filming requests and application procedure To manage requests for full-scale television productions or commercial filming events the Trust engages the services of commercial team to facilitate the management of the production. The commercial team will be responsible for collecting the location fee from the licensee, obtaining a signed licence agreement, collating public liability insurance, risk assessments, method statements and health and safety information required from the licensee. The commercial team will facilitate bookings which will be presented to the Trust. The Trust reviews each submission. We will try to help where we can, but please be aware that during busy times or for clinical reasons we may not be able to accommodate your request. 3 Charges for commercial and production filming Charges will be levied for any filming or photography at our premises for purposes other than relevant news footage or for UHS's own purposes. Fees are charged to cover all administration, staff costs and cost of using our location. These are discretionary and further details are available on request from the commercial development team. If filming does not take place after the initial or secondary recce, a charge of �250 will be incurred. Any changes to the day or time of filming must be relayed to the commercial team as soon as possible. This should be at least two working days before the original date/time agreed otherwise a 25% cancellation fee will be due. If filming should take longer than first agreed, the organisation will be invoiced for the additional time incurred. This payment will be due within one week of filming. 4 Use of images and other media Images and filming must not contravene copyright and must only be published with the permission of the image owner. In the case of photographs, videos and other media items featuring people, permission to use the media item must be obtained and we would expect any external film-makers to have their own consent forms and processes. Copies should be shared and retained by the trust. If contracts are awarded to "external" production companies they will be required to waive ownership of copyright and moral rights in the recordings they prepare, although they may still be allowed to retain the right to reproduce the recording by arrangement and special permission from the communications team at UHS. Filming of a patient who has not given appropriate consent that are accidentally or inadvertently picked up must not be published under any circumstance and, unless detrimental to the care of the subject patient, must be destroyed. 5 Authorisation Commercial filming requests should be referred to the commercial team, via the Commercial Director-Nael Clarke, via email in the first instance to: (nael.clarke@uhs.nhs.uk), cc. (Nichola.cookson@uhs.nhs.uk) who will manage them in conjunction with clinical teams, care groups and divisions. Production filming requests should be referred to the communications team (media@uhs.nhs.uk) who will engage the commercial team and, if appropriate, seek opinions and feedback from clinical teams and departments. The Trust reserves the right to refuse permission for any event for any reason. Filming will only be permitted, for example, if it will not cause undue disturbance to the working life of the Trust and/or the subject matter is not likely to portray the Trust inappropriately or conflict with Trust ethics/opinion. Filming events may take place throughout the year although account will be taken of the possible impact on the working life of the trust. Generally, filming requests will not be accepted during peak periods. Filming of individuals may not take place without their express permission; therefore, general filming in public space within the hospital premises or grounds is restricted. 6 Site protocol The Trust has a standard protocol which all production companies and broadcasters must follow regardless of purpose. This includes the following: Names of all visiting crew members must be submitted before any filming begins Security, reception and site team must be notified of filming set to take place on site (internal responsibility of commercial development and communications) All visiting crew members must bring their company ID badges AND sign in at main reception upon arrival to obtain trust visitor passes Crews must have a key point of contact in any department they are visiting Any production crews must have agreed a designated filming area and should not be granted access to any separate/secure areas at any time without confirmation from the relevant trust team that it has been agreed and that the staff working in those areas feel it is appropriate.
