Exactly and could further widen health inequalities.

[Sally @so_says_sally]

So the argument goes-the NHS is in a hole, something radical must be done+ radical means ditching tax funded model. It’s a pretty bad argument, as this new explainer sets out. Alternative funding models not answer - tackling difficult issues is. https://t.co/g5CSZjUpNL

Pleasure to talk about work in Barts Health by colleagues in strategy, public health, EloPe, Anchor Institution and Healthcare Horizons. @AAttfield @DrRiyazPatel @BartsHorizons @Angela_Kam_ + Kate Turner

[Ian Basnett @Ian_Bas]

Great analysis, worth repeating at an ICS/place level.

A must read from @CharlesTTHF @L_Ewbank et al. A forensic look at what's been happening to #hospital #admissions and #lengthofstay, and what this means for #inequalities @HealthFdn

Why the food industry needs regulation.

[Prof. Eliot Jacobson @EliotJacobson]

What's happening to Antarctic sea ice extent isn't getting enough global media attention. And by "enough" I mean none. Nothing. This ongoing and dramatic collapse is completely absent from today's news.

Yesterday's sea ice extent was 4.02σ below the 1991-2023 mean (1-in-34,000).

[David Buck (also @davidjbuck.bsky.social) @davidjbuck]

It's v disappointing then that the govt's response to the #HewittReview including rejecting the call for an additional 1% of ICS' budget to be devoted to #prevention over 5 years, itself underwhelming. Here is the response

Thought provoking piece.

This a great thread on poor health outcomes in the US and why.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

Things have deteriorated so much that the average American now has the same healthy life expectancy (years lived in good health) as someone in Blackpool, the town with England’s lowest life expectancy (by far), synonymous with deep-rooted social decline https://t.co/jicW0G4Uz4

[Ian Basnett @Ian_Bas]

Listen to wonderful Liz Carr @thelizcarr Desert Island discs, funny, engaging and great perspectives on how society disables us and assisted dying @BartsAbility.https://t.co/WDlLwlNGTF
