The HSJ asks if Joe Public cares about NHS deficits? The NHS now ranks hospitals according to their finances, even when clinical care is strong. Lessons from Aus show health services can’t afford to subordinate quality, safety, & people to balance sheets: https://t.co/2bv94y7Fmi

The Devolution & Community Empowerment Bill is a landmark chance to embed health in local economic growth. The duty on the proposed new combined authorities is clear – but impact will depend on leadership, alignment & trust. Our take on what this means: https://t.co/lvhmupRmJV

Wishing our amazing #NHS an incredible 75th birthday today. It has always been a privilege to provide support to healthcare colleagues across the UK doing brilliant work, day in, day out.

Whatever your role, team, or organisation - thank you, for everything that you do. #NHS75

⁦@JR_MerseyCare⁩ talks about the importance of strong relationships with partners and stakeholders for successful delivery of ICS ambitions ⁦@ConfedExpo⁩

[Caroline Shaw CBE @CShawEGL]

Completely agree with this and this is what we are doing and leading @live_evergreen focusing on #PeoplePoweredHealth #wellbeing #prevention 💚

2/2 @wesstreeting acknowledged it was the most challenging question he’d been asked. He recognised the capital challenge is enormous but wants to understand the pipeline Labour would inherit - and noted the urgent need for investment in primary care and mental health estate too

[Hood & Woolf @HoodWoolf]

1/n @Steph_Hood1 asks @wesstreeting what a Labour government’s approach would be to capital investment recognising the 120+ urgent NHP schemes that so far haven’t been awarded investment.

[Nichola Jones @nicholamjones]

@ConfedMatthew talks about the urgent need for a government-wide strategy for health, recognising others’ role - as well as the NHS’s to impact wider determinants of health. Investing upfront now in prevention could impact so many lives - obesity, diabetes, housing, homelessness

[Steph Hood @Steph_Hood1]

⁦@ConfedMatthew⁩ rightly talking about ‘inverting the pyramid’, accountability out not up, enabling frontline teams. Echoes H&W work with l/ship teams to flip the narrative ‘what can we do to help you do your job?’ not only ‘we must meet these targets’ ⁦@ConfedExpo⁩

[Hood & Woolf @HoodWoolf]

Excited to be at the NHS Confed Expo in Manchester! Looking forward to connecting with healthcare leaders, learning about ground-breaking initiatives, and discussing the future of the #NHS
