COPD Physiotherapy Treatment Aims to  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death in the United States. There are approximately 30 million people in the United States who have been diagnosed with COPD. Physical activity and therapy can provide great improvement in symptoms, exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life. This course is for physical and occupational therapy clinicians in acute, subacute or home health care who are seeking to update their understanding of COPD rehabilitation. As rehabilitation professionals, we need to understand the pathophysiology as well as the evidence-based treatment strategies to promote optimal living for individuals with COPD. This webinar is part 2 in a 2-part series. This part 2 webinar focuses on PT and OT objective assessment tools, program prescriptions, and evidence-based treatment for COPD patients. Prescribing a treatment program that is dosed appropriately is essential for the prevention of exacerbations, improved quality of life, and value-based care. Rehabilitation therapists have unique skills to provide this valuable care for the COPD population. Learning Objectives At the end of this course, the participant will be able to: Explain how to conduct specific objective measures commonly used with COPD patients to determine baseline function Summarize guidelines for evidence-based exercises for patients with COPD including HIIT exercise Prescribe an appropriate treatment program for the COPD patient to include appropriate stimulus, duration, frequency and functional application. Apply knowledge obtained in course to determine appropriate assessments and treatment program to case studies Explain the correlation between hospital admissions and level of physical activity as well as the impact on value-based purchasing.

About this Training Course Geomechanical evaluations are about the assessment of deformations and failure in the subsurface due to oil & gas production, geothermal operations, CO2 storage and other operations. All geomechanical evaluations include four types of modelling assumptions, which will be systematically addressed in this training, namely: 1. Geometrical modelling assumption: Impact of structural styles on initial stress and stress redistribution due to operations 2. Formation (or constitutive) behaviour: Linear elastic and non-linear behaviour, associated models and their parameters, and methods how to constrain these using 3. Initial stress: Relation with structural setting and methods to quantify the in-situ stress condition 4. Loading conditions: Changes in pore pressure and temperature on wellbore and field scale This 5 full-day course starts with the determination of the stresses in the earth, the impact of different structural styles, salt bodies, faulting and folding on the orientation of the three main principal stress components. Different (field) data sources will be discussed to constrain their magnitude, while exercises will be made to gain hands-on experience. Subsequently, the concepts of stress and strain will be discussed, linear elasticity, total and effective stress and poro-elasticity in 1D, 2D and 3D, as well as thermal expansion. Participants will be able to construct and interpret a Mohr-circles. Also, different failure mechanisms and associated models (plastic, viscous) will be discussed. All these concepts apply on a material point level. Next, geomechanics on the wellbore scale is addressed, starting with the stress distribution around the wellbore (Kirsch equations). The impact of mudweight on shear and tensile failure (fracturing) will be calculated, and participants will be able to determine the mudweight window stable drilling operations, while considering well deviation and the use of oil-based and water-based muds (pore pressure penetration). Fracturing conditions and fracture propagation will be addressed. Field-scale geomechanics is addressed on the fourth day, focussing on building a 3D geomechanical model that is fit-for-purpose (focussing on the risks that need evaluation). Here, geological interpretation (layering), initial stress and formation property estimation (from petrophysical logs and lab experiments) as well as determining the loading conditions come together. The course is concluded with interpretation of the field-wide geomechanical response to reservoir depletion with special attention to reservoir compaction & subsidence, well failure and fault reactivation & induced seismicity. Special attention is paid to uncertainties and formulating advice that impacts decision-making during development and production stages of a project. This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format. Training Objectives Upon completing of this course, the participants will be able to: Identify potential project risks that may need a geomechanical evaluation Construct a pressure-depth plot based on available field data (density logs, (X)LOT, FIT, RFT) Employ log-based correlation function to estimate mechanical properties Produce a simplified, but appropriate geometrical (layered, upscaled) model that honours contrasts in initial stress, formation properties and loading conditions, including Construct and interpret a Mohr-circle for shear and tensile failure Calculate the mud weight that leads to shear and tensile failure (fracturing conditions) Identify potential lab experiments to measure required formation properties Describe the workflow and data to develop a field-wide fit-for-purpose geomechanical model Discuss the qualitative impact of pressure and temperature change on the risk related to compaction, well failure, top-seal integrity and fault reactivation Target Audience This course is intended for Drilling Engineers, Well Engineers, Production Technologists, Completion Engineers, Well Superintendents, Directional Drillers, Wellsite Supervisors and others, who wish to further their understanding of rock mechanics and its application to drilling and completion. There is no specific formal pre-requisite for this course. However, the participants are requested to have been exposed to drilling, completions and production operations in their positions and to have a recommended minimum of 3 years of field experience.

Concerns around children gaming all day is the number one question that I get asked. Honestly, I can be doing a webinar, or hosting a talk on just about any unschooling subject and gaming always comes up in the Q&A.   I wonder if it’s because it wasn’t as accessible when we were younger. I’m going to age myself by recalling the days when we had to sit and wait for dial up internet connection and gaming had a very minor role in our day to day lives. Or maybe I wasn’t that interested in it?   I remember my dad playing MorrisMinor on a Spectrum ZX in our home. And having Snake on my first mobile phone. The difference between that and now is immense. The standard of games. The variety. The choices in game play. I wonder if the uncertainty for us comes from it not being a normal part of our lives when we were growing up.   But, it is part of your child’s life. It is part of their norm. And it is here to stay.    Dr Naomi Fisher and I talk from both our professional backgrounds about the psychology of gaming and how it aids learning, as well as from our own experiences of enabling our own children to game freely, this is not to be missed!   Maybe you will discover the joys of gaming and just how glorious it can be! Also available as a Screen Time Bundle including Becoming Comfortable with Screen Time. Yes! I want two webinars for £40
