An opportunity to submit evidence to Lord Darzi’s review. Particular interest in access; care pathways; biggest killers; health and wealth; workforce; finance, productivity and capital infrastructure. Health inequalities also a clear area of focus. https://t.co/f6j5GSncrC
Really pleased to get this blog out with the fantastic ICB team @NHSGlos. Lots of innovative strategies to reduce health inequalities, drawing on #Core20PLUS5 principles.
What are Integrated Care Boards doing to reduce health inequalities? Rose Brade and Clara McDermott Simarro sat down with @NHSGlos to discuss how they are tailoring their approach to working with people and communities. https://t.co/pnUKzNeR5j
Great to be cheered on by the incredible @GeneticAll_UK team for the Berlin half! 💪 It was amazing, a lot hotter than expected! Please do check out the charities work and support via this link: https://t.co/PEJbJSiGc7
Thank you!
👟👏 Sending a huge thank you to @rosiebrade who is taking on her first half marathon in Berlin for @GeneticAll_UK tomorrow! Rosie has raised £180 so far - can you help boost her total? https://t.co/K9TYw3I4Hg

This week, we were delighted to host @NHSConfed CEO Matthew Taylor in conversation with WA’s Head of Health Caroline Gordon — to assess the big challenges facing the NHS, how to tackle them, and how partners can work together to support the system.

The diagnostic bottleneck in cancer is well-established - but there's also a crisis in cancer treatment capacity. We @RCRadiologists@BOPACommittee@UKONSmember have written to @SteveBarclay to raise awareness of this issue:
Fantastic event, would encourage colleagues to have a read of the 'Health and Life Sciences' section. Prioritisation will be key with Labour's aim to “show real progress” within its first term.
As Labour prepares for power, the Party is clear it wants to be a pro-business government, and is keen to engage with business leaders. WA’s guide to engaging with Labour explores how organisations can make the most of that invitation. Download it in full: https://t.co/pi2oqbkq24
Yesterday's sessions on the integration of primary and community care were filled with gems.
Notably, @profchrisham's insight that the Hewitt Review (due next week) could be making recommendations requiring ICS' to publish spending share allocated to integration and prevention.
We're looking forward to our annual health policy Summit taking place on Thursday and Friday this week!
We'll be livestreaming the event - sign up to watch all sessions and check out our programme below. #ntsummit 👇🧵 https://t.co/TrmuvjEm4V
In spite of numerous announcements of interventions and ‘policies’, the stats are clear. Public perception of the NHS’ ability is increasingly pessimistic
How has public opinion on the NHS and social care changed over the last year?

Agree. Good to see the link strengthening btw poor access to innovative medicines and the ‘discomfort with innovation’ within the NHS. Lots of factors at play inc. perceived: risk, additional resource burden, inadequate cost-benefit ratio, rigidity in pathway structures etc
Great report from @nhsconfed and AAC partners @ABPI_UK. It says: "For the NHS and the wider health and care system to survive and thrive for the benefit of its users, innovation at every stage and in every aspect is not only desirable but necessary" https://t.co/oeRW7ahzF4
Not discussed in report’s scope but imp to note significance of tackling barriers in the consultation room during treatment decision making. I’ve done a lot of work into this which identifies ageism, conservatism and unconscious bias as barriers to accessing innovative meds
Scrapping the 10-year cancer plan is incredibly concerning. Whilst a whole person approach is welcomed and it is undeniable that there are wide scale challenges facing the NHS, a lack of specificity may be more harmful than good. Esp for rare and less common cancers. 1/3
This #CervicalCancerPreventionWeek I encourage everyone who can to get their HPV jab and attend their screening.
The NHS has made great progress with 3.5 million women aged 25-64 screened in 2021/22 - if you are eligible please come forward.
@malorieblackman this was one of the most inspiring and gloriously hilarious talks I have attended. Thank you so much to both of you for your humour and grace, whilst sharing such personal parts of your story.
