With registration now open and aesthetic professionals looking forward to experiencing the Aesthetics Conference and Exhibition (ACE), we can now reveal what you can expect from the exciting new agenda taking place on April 15 and 16.

Following the success of last year’s event and overwhelmingly positive feedback from both delegates and exhibitors, ACE has cemented its reputation as the leading educational medical aesthetics event. The comprehensive agenda of free practical content within the Masterclass, Expert Clinic and Business Track programmes, alongside the Conference sessions focused around anatomical areas, will once again attract thousands of practitioners and aesthetic professionals from across the industry.

For 2016, the ACE steering committee, led by consultant plastic surgeon Mr Dalvi Humzah, and comprising Dr Raj Acquilla, Dr Tapan Patel, chair of the British Association of Cosmetic Nurses Sharon Bennett and Aesthetics journal editor Amanda Cameron, are dedicated to providing delegates with a packed agenda of CPD-accredited education in more than 58 sessions.

LogRhythm has been named a leader for fifth consecutive year in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM).

Since the company first showed up on the Magic Quadrant in 2008, customer needs have evolved, the number of breaches have accelerated, and the threat environment has become far more complex. LogRhythm has successfully navigated these changes and shifts, and has thrived in a highly strategic, competitive and rapidly changing market.

After eight years of continuous innovation, a commitment to customer success, persistence, well-timed agility and some great teamwork, LogRhythm has made steady progress to sit at the top of the 2016 Gartner SIEM Magic Quadrant.

The rise of SIEM

It’s fair to say that in 2016, next-generation SIEM is more strategic than ever. Customers are looking for a complete platform that can be the foundation of their security operations centre (SOC)—the central intelligence for their security operations.

Given the notion that computing environments will – or may already be – compromised at some point, businesses are increasingly recognising the need to move their processes and priorities towards detecting when compromises occur, and responding to them as quickly as possible.  While that does not mean that threat prevention itself is obsolete, it simply means these defences cannot be relied upon to protect against determined hackers. The time between detection and response is when systems are at their most vulnerable, and without a strategy in place to effectively and efficiently deal with the problem, the consequences could be far reaching.

Security intelligence is critical. Organisations need to have end-to-end visibility of their networks and systems to enable the detection of any type of threat or compromise in order to manage them effectively and avoid a damaging material breach.

Meeting business needs

Businesses want a platform that can deliver the entire workflow from detection to investigation to response, in a seamless, integrated fashion. With many companies also short on skilled personnel, there is a greater need for holistic, advanced analytics that can automate real-time detection of threats that evade the preventative layer or originate from within. Furthermore, businesses want to consolidate more capabilities into just one integrated platform so that they can avoid the cost and inadequacy of trying to stitch together multiple, disparate point solutions.

As more and more customers are discovering, LogRhythm is fast becoming the next-generation platform that delivers exactly what they are looking for.

October marks the return of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Here at One Stop Doctors, we’re passionate about the latest medical and technological advancements currently being used to treat a disease that affects one-in-eight women in the UK. Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women in the UK, and a staggering 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year – which works out as one every 10 minutes.

We’re a private advanced diagnostics and treatment clinic based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. Offering same-day appointments, cutting-edge diagnostics, and access to some of the country’s top specialist consultants, we pride ourselves in providing a flexible and unrivalled service for our patients. It’s essential that our clinic is immaculate and features the latest state-of-the-art medical technology. One Stop Doctors provides a range of women’s healthcare specialisms and services, and this includes the latest equipment built to detect breast cancer.

Routine mammograms are recommended to ensure that any developing cancer is spotted in its early stages, enabling specialists to begin effective treatment as soon as possible. At One Stop Doctors, our onsite radiologists can interpret scans, in many cases, within 24 hours for fast delivery of results. We have recently installed one of the most advanced mammography machines available in the world today, from GE Healthcare. The Senographe Essential is a pioneering digital system which offers 3D tomosynthesis scans, producing the highest quality imagery possible, which is vital when locating signs of cancer.

This technology is an evolution of conventional mammograms and offers a wealth of benefits that we are now able to provide to our patients. The 3D imaging technique is designed to visually separate tissue, scanning the breast at every angle to detect potential growths and lumps which may otherwise be obscured. This extensive imaging and standard of detection is not achieved with 2D mammography. The 3D system takes two x-rays at different angles of each breast, producing a detailed image on a computer that is then read by a radiologist. Breast cancer tissue is denser than healthy breast tissue and appears on the scan as irregular white areas or shadows.
