I'll be @resolvepoverty conference on 13 March to discuss the impact of poverty on health and to explore what policymakers and the NHS could do to help. It's a fantastic programme - looking forward to the conversation.
This week, @swoolnough appeared on the @NHSConfed podcast to talk about the NHS's ten-year health plan. She spoke about shifting the narrative on #prevention and moving care close to home. Listen to the episode in full wherever you get your podcasts!

Reflecting on 1 year of highlights @TheKingFund - I was delighted to partner with inspirational people to find hope and solutions in a year of challenge and change for the health & care system. I look forward to more in 2025, so the best possible care can be available to all.
Join us in January to gain insights on how the 10-year health plan, due to be launched in Spring 2025, aims to deliver an NHS fit for the future.

'But the bigger learning – and important reminder – was that much of what our NHS ‘front door’ is facing could be avoided with a more preventive focus,' says @swoolnough reflecting on the patients she met on a shift with @Ldn_Ambulance. Read the blog 👇 https://t.co/osiYiELhEO
Today, some of The King’s Fund team took part in our ‘Health and care explained’ session at the House of Commons. The session was designed to provide MPs with the info they need to understand the health & care system, how it’s funded and key trends. Thanks to everyone who came!
'The 18-week target is an important hospital milestone, but it is not a milestone for our overall health service,' says @swoolnough, responding to the Prime Minister's speech on its Plan for Change and the #NHS waiting list 'milestone'. Read more: https://t.co/3cGjvT70Z4

@SivaAnandaciva, Incoming Director of Policy, Events and Partnerships, spoke at @AstraZeneca's UK’s Long Term Conditions Revolution event this week. His talk focussed on leading the long term conditions revolution, and the growing challenges presented by demographic shifts.
I hear @DHSCgovuk wants to hear more from #publichealth staff (i assume that's not just NHS) about views on the #10yearplan. Some national listening events here, an opportunity to get heard on the three #shifts, inc prevention https://t.co/f388sMhnqH
Very fair & straight from @sarahwoolnough & @TheKingsFund - also, shift from hospital to home depends on social care as well. The government has no time to lose if it wants to reform social care via @FT

Packed room for a great talk packed with @asthmalunguk data, from @swoolnough. Prevention, tackling inequalities + poverty, better diagnosis + treatment, more care resources, empowering self-care - all needed to transform lung health! Let’s get there👏🏻 #BTSWinter2024
At #BTSWinter2024@swoolnough@TheKingsFund
painted an optimistic future for respiratory health, provided all opportunities to create meaningful change over the next decade are embraced. At the heart of this - prevention and tackling health inequalities.
Delighted to see this report published. It outlines examples of great partnerships between the life sciences industry and NHS to deliver for patients. It systematically draws lessons about what works and what gets in the way, & makes recommendations about how to partner more ⬇️
Looking fwd to speaking at this on Friday, sign-up @healthfdn if interested. Sharing, and a great panel reflecting on, our recent @TheKingsFund work here https://t.co/ptoAY9n0Bz
