The article is devoted to the issue of identifying the prerequisites and conditions for the formation of the system of clusters of the youth tourism in the North-Western Federal district. Despite the active development of cluster structures in tourism and hospitality, both in Russian and abroad they pay fairly little attention to the establishment of clusters in the sphere of youth tourism. The reasons for this phenomenon is due to the peculiarities of youth tourism (not always profitable nature of this sphere of private businesses, the increased level of attention to consumers and their safety, etc.), as well as the need to strictly control and regulate the various ministries and agencies, whose functional duties are somehow connected with the safeguarding and protecting children and young people. The creation of the system of effectively functioning regional and municipal clusters, the youth tourism would solve many of the problems facing the industry as a whole. The goal of creating a modern and efficient cluster formations in the study area, according to the authors, should have a close connaction with youth tourism peculiarities as a sector of tourism and should take into account the specific trends and dynamics of development of this phenomenon in the Russian context. An important aspect in the modeling process of tourism cluster in the field of youth tourism should recognize the correct definition and allocation of characteristics and features based on classification features, which are typical to any cluster in the field of tourism and hospitality in the Russian Federation.

Purpose This paper aims to improve community care for people with intellectual disabilities (ID) and/or autism. Lack of coordination between agencies leads to children and young people with the most complex needs falling between services. The North West Operational Delivery Network (ODN) for learning disability and autism set out to develop a model of care for mental health services for children and young people with ID and/or autism in North West England that would improve coordination between services and lead to better community care. Design/methodology/approach The ODN held a series of good practice events and consultations with stakeholders in North West England to look at gaps in service provision, national guidelines and agree on a pathway for services. Findings The ODN decided to use the THRIVE framework as the basis for a specific model of care. Interventions were mapped against the THRIVE groupings, including pathways and team specifications for assessment and support for children with autism, and models for child and adolescent mental health service support for ID and/or autism, for keeping children and young people with behaviour that challenges in the community and transition. Originality/value This model aims to provide the North West England region with a clear multi-agency approach for supporting the needs of this population and supports multi-agency commissioning, gap analysis, earlier intervention and improving health outcomes for this population.

AbstractThis is a 12-month retrospective data analysis (2018/19) of asthma risk factors in 350 North West London general practices. Fourteen thousand four hundred and five of the 482,029 (40% female) children and young people (CYP) had diagnosed asthma. Exacerbations are as follows: (i) 749 (5%) CYP had 797 hospital admissions; 32 (<1%) had 2–6; (ii) 910 (6%) had 1168 recorded asthma attacks; 170 (1%) had 2–12; (iii) 1485 (10%) had 2123 oral corticosteroid courses; 408 (3%) had 2–11. Excess short-acting bronchodilators were prescribed in over half of the CYP. Of the 10,077 (70%) CYP prescribed inhaled corticosteroid preventers, 7279 (72%) were issued with <4 ICS inhaler prescriptions during the year; these CYP accounted for 11% of the admission spells. In all, 30% of CYP had poor symptom control. At least 10% of the CYP having had recent attacks are at risk and dashboards such as those available in North West London could easily facilitate recognition of risk and optimisation of care.
