New data shows A&Es experienced their busiest month on record in May.

For the first time, the NHS has also published data on corridor care in hospitals to identify where challenges are greatest and to help target support where it's needed most.

A great example of the NHS harnessing the benefits of AI to support clinicians.

It will help patients receive a diagnosis or the all-clear more quickly, improving their care and speeding up treatment.

Here’s @PreetKGillMP with the key things you need to know.

[Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk]

Health and Social Care Secretary @jamesmurray_ldn and Deputy Prime Minister @DavidLammy met with representatives of community organisations and @ProstateUK to hear about their work supporting Black men to be part of prostate cancer research.

[Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk]

"I don't want any patients or any staff to ever think twice about coming into the NHS."

Health and Social Care Secretary @JamesMurray_Ldn explains why we're supporting Lord Mann's recommendations, as we tackle antisemitism and other forms of racism in the NHS.

[James Murray @jamesmurray_ldn]

I know that Jewish people, and everyone experiencing discrimination, need action not words.

Together with NHS England, we'll waste no time in setting Lord Mann’s recommendations in motion to build a health service that lives up to its founding values.

[Department of Health and Social Care @DHSCgovuk]

We are supporting all of the recommendations from Lord Mann's review to tackle antisemitism and other forms of racism across the NHS.

This will mean that both NHS patients and staff will be better protected against hate.

[James Murray @jamesmurray_ldn]

As a man in my 40s, prostate cancer is something I’m beginning to think more about.

Screening can be life saving, but it is complex.

We’re following the science by focusing on those most at risk, helping men get earlier answers and better care, and avoiding unnecessary harm.

[Stephen Kinnock @SKinnock]

Pleased @PortsmouthUni will soon have a brand new dental school, backed by the first sustained government-funded places since 2007!

This expansion will train NHS-ready dentists in areas that need them most.

We’re getting NHS dentistry back on its feet and fit for the future.

[NHS England @NHSEngland]

The Online NHS Trust has been formally established, and its Chair appointed.
