For some people, managing their health involves complex care plans and access to a variety of resources. Individuals with disabilities, the elderly, or mentally impaired people are just some examples of people for whom achieving optimal outcomes is difficult. Achieving effective care may involve a number of health service providers and other resources. Appointing a case manager to negotiate this complex set of circumstances is one way in which health, well-being and personal goals can be achieved. Featuring expert interviews and real-world examples, this is a high-quality resource exploring the key skills of good case management and the importance of collaboration.

Professional Boundaries in Health Care
Professional boundaries refer to the distinctions that a worker makes between acceptable and unacceptable behavior. In a health care environment, they are critical to maintain a professional relationship between workers and clients. However, it is an area where there can be many shades of grey, forcing health care providers to use appropriate decision-making tools to guide their behavior. This program provides an introduction to the area of professional boundaries, and includes interviews with three experienced health professionals, including renowned consultant and trainer, Jenny Bray – along with some excellent dramatized scenarios aimed at provoking thought and discussion in this important area.

Principles of Physics 1: Mechanics and Light
The program presents key concepts of mechanics and light, employing high quality graphics and animations, live footage and worked examples of relevant formulas. Conveniently structured in short clip format, the mechanics section covers scalars and vectors, equations of motions, projectile and circular motions, Newton’s laws of motion including a dynamic illustration of the third law in action, kinetic and potential energies both gravitational and elastic, energy conservation, collisions, and conservation of momentum. The light section covers light as a wave, wave equation, combining light of different colours, reflection in plane and curved mirrors including ray diagrams, refraction, convex and concave lenses including ray diagrams, polarisation, diffraction, interference, photoelectric effect, wave-particle duality.

Credibility
What is credibility, and why is it so important? This program begins with an exploration of the concept of credibility and illustrates the key criteria of motive, bias, vested interest, neutrality, ability to perceive and expertise. A reconstruction of a famous murder case from the 1920s is then used to provide the material for viewers to evaluate the credibility of the evidence that was used. Finally, critical thinking author and former chief examiner Dr. Roy van den Brink Budgen provides his analysis of the case study and follow up support material. A very credible resource about credibility.

Assumptions
It’s very natural to make assumptions. In some ways they save time and help us make effective decisions. But the problem is that assumption can sometimes be very wrong. This program starts with a number of accessible examples to illustrate what we mean by assumptions and how finding them can help to illuminate arguments. Viewers are then asked to test their critical thinking skills by looking for the assumptions in a location-based film and studio discussion on the rise in binge drinking amongst girls. And with Dr. Roy van den Brink Budgen expertise, gives his analysis of the case study and provides follow up support material.

Evidence in Argument
How do we present evidence to get the best results in our arguments? Simply laying it all out for the world to see is not enough. But hiding parts of it is also just as compromised. This program begins by clearly illustrating the meaning and significance of evidence and the presentation of evidence in numbers, percentages, rates and over time. The case against zoos is used to give viewers the opportunity to evaluate and question how evidence is being used to support the arguments being made. Dr. Roy van den Brink Budgen then provides his analysis of the case study.

Multicellular Organisms and Their Nervous Systems
Multicellular organisms range from basic to highly complex forms. This engaging program explores the level of organization necessary for the structure and function of multicellular organisms including cells, tissues, organs and organ systems. It highlights the nervous system of multicellular organisms – both vertebrates and invertebrates – and features excellent dissections of a cane toad and a worm to illustrate the different forms and function of their nervous systems. The footage in the dissecting laboratory is particularly helpful in understanding structure and function of vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems. This is a practical and information packed program made specifically for the modern classroom.

Understanding Postnatal Depression
This informative, engaging program looks at postnatal depression, a condition that can affect mothers, and occasionally fathers, soon after the birth of a child. It details what postnatal depression is, the symptoms, and how it differs from other mood changes associated with the parents of newborns. We speak with mothers who have experienced postnatal depression, as well as Psychiatrist Dr Kristine Mecuri, Post and Ante Natal Depression Association’s (PANDA) CEO Belinda Horton, and Beyond Blue’s Nicole Highett. This program explores contributing factors, treatments available and includes an in-depth case study of a mother who experienced postnatal depression. Ideal for those in health care, psychology, medicine and midwifery, this program seeks to dispel myths and misconceptions around the illness.

The Kendal Project: A Spiritual Revolution?
Between October 2000 and June 2002, a University of Lancaster study of the population of Kendal, a town near the Lakes District in the UK, revealed some fascinating trends in modern society’s approach to, and practice of, religion and spirituality. Known as the Kendal Project, the study looked at the prevalence of regular congregational church attendance compared with the popularity of spirituality in the holistic domain. This program explores the scope and methodology of the Kendal Project, its findings and conclusions about modern society, religion and spirituality, and examines implications and explanations of changing trends. We hear reflections from a range of people, including University of Lancaster academics involved in the Kendal project, a member of the clergy, and a modern day practicing witch.
