"Your local council may offer free training to help build your digital skills. Many of these courses are specifically directed towards older people and this support is often delivered in local libraries." "I would encourage anyone who feels they need support to get online safely to visit one of the National Digital Inclusion Network community hubs across the UK, where they will find services to enable them to get online, help to develop their digital skills and to improve their life through digital."Rajan Lakhani said:"Many of the high street banks now offer support to help older people build their digital skills.
"It can be a huge safety net to install antivirus software on your computer, ideally with in-built banking protection which verifies legitimate banking sites. If you choose to use mobile banking, it helps to confirm the genuine app before downloading, with due diligence such as looking for high download numbers and reading the reviews."Secondly, it is worth making sure all passcodes and passwords used for online banking are unique - using an online password manager can help.

Time trends in survival and causes of death in multiple myeloma: a population-based study from Germany - BMC CancerBackground Steady evolution of therapies has improved prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma (MM) over the past two decades. Yet, knowledge about survival trends and causes of death in MM might play a crucial role in long-term management of this patient collective. Here, we investigate time trends in myeloma-specific survival at the population level over two decades and analyse causes of death in times of prolonged survival. Methods Age-standardised and age group-specific relative survival (RS) of MM patients aged | 80 years at diagnosis was estimated for consecutive time periods from 2000–2019 using data from the Cancer Registry of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. Conditional RS was estimated for patients who already survived one to five years post diagnosis. Causes of death in MM patients were analysed and compared to the general population using standardised mortality ratios (SMR). Results Three thousand three hundred thirty-six MM cases were included in the time trend analysis. Over two decades, age-standardised 5-year RS increased from 37 to 62%. Age-specific survival improved from 41% in period 2000–2004 to 69% in period 2015–2019 in the age group 15–69 years, and from 23 to 47% in the age group 70–79 years. Conditional 5-year RS of patients who survived five years after diagnosis slightly improved as compared to unconditional 5-year RS at diagnosis. MM patients are two times more likely to die from non-myeloma malignancies (SMR = 1.97, 95% CI 1.81–2.15) and from cardiovascular diseases (SMR = 2.01, 95% CI 1.86–2.18) than the general population. Conclusions Prognosis of patients with MM has markedly improved since the year 2000 due to therapeutic advances. Nevertheless, late mortality remains a major concern. As survival improves, second primary malignancies and cardiovascular events deserve increased attention.
