Ansätze für die Zukunft der Pflege in Deutschland
Im Anschluss an dem letzten Post über das Grüne Programm und Mitarbeitenden und Patienten im Deutschen Gesundheitswesen sowie einige Reaktionen und Diskussionen auf Twitter möchte ich hier einige vorhandene Ansätze für die Pflege der Zukunft hier sammeln.
Chapter 6 – Four interesting replacement smartphones
First of all, a couple of steps back, a phone used to be mainly a phone, it seems currently to have become a mobile communications centre, desktop and office with which you can also do real-time or delayed voice messaging.

Chapter 6 – Quick update to explain why I’m a bit busy at the moment
I haven’t managed an update to the site for a while for various good reasons. Here’s a quick peek into my chaos at the moment. I can’t write about everything for reasons I can explain later so here goes:

At the bottom of the page is a YouTube link to a fascinating film “Rivers and Tides” about some of his work with ice and generally things outdoors which has excellent photography and gives you some idea of the person behind the art work.
