"Research from the Health Foundation shows that the Public Health Grant has been cut by 24% on a real-terms per person basis since 2015/6, and despite the outstanding work of local public health teams this reduced funding has risked delivery of these critical services becoming unsustainable."

So more work for private hospitals to cut waiting lists...the sector has many potential safety risks as government and NHS well know. Recommendations from the Ian Paterson inquiry have still not been implemented, leaving patients at risk. Read my 2023 piece here: www.thetimes.com/uk/article/y...

Curious to see PM deflect a question on increasing workforce numbers to match his proposed capacity increase. Just focused on workforce efficiency savings.

I welcome the governments efforts to reduce waiting times through expanding CDC’s… but am skeptical about who will staff them (workforce typically rotated from local trust). Additionally increasing diagnostic capacity doesn’t mitigate waiting times for specialist appointments to discuss results.

Nursing is an amazing career. Professor Nicola Ranger told @bbclaurak.bsky.social this morning how the government must act to entice staff into the profession to halt the workforce crisis. Agree? Reshare this post and join our campaigns 📣 www.rcn.org.uk/Get-Involved...

Great report, there is a need for clarity over what this big shift entails and that nurses are involved if they are to be affected. ‘The government risks oversimplifying the shift from hospital to the community, treating it as one thing when it covers a whole range of possibilities.’

My main take home: increasing deprivation = decreasing vaccine uptake. Decreasing vaccine uptake = increasing deprivation/inequalities. We cannot address vaccine uptake without addressing existing structural health inequalities. Some other thoughts below

Newfound admiration for Nicola Ranger @thercn.bsky.social “It's no longer just about a percentage pay rise. “It's what are we doing, particularly in England, to make sure that we both retain and recruit brilliant nurses in every single sector, and that is what we're disappointed about.”

Great end to the week delivering a training session to our Trusts charity teams on the role of acute care providers in addressing health inequalities. We do so much more than be culturally aware, we can design, deliver and evaluate our services to prevent so much disparity.

It was amazing to have been invited to the celebration event of Cohort 2&3 fellows from the Kofoworola Abeni Pratt programme. It’s amazing to see such exemplars of #nursingexcellence and recognising the passionate, intelligent and capable nurses that are our future leaders. @gstt-nhs.bsky.social

Great article by Ronny Cheung on how the clinical workforce can take health inequalities from a cognisant space into something actionable. Give us a holler if you’re interested in writing something similar for a nurse audience. ep.bmj.com/content/106/...

There’s something really special about going back to the town where you did your nurse training. Some of the best years, growing as a person and finding a wonderful community.

What is the role of secondary care providers in addressing health inequalities? At first glance, much of the narrative is focused in the primary care space, addressing the wider determinants and health promotion. My favourite intro/short read article is below: nhsproviders.org/media/698891...

Thinking of planning an event on nurses role in addressing healthcare inequalities. Practical examples of what nurses can do in their space (without specialist funding), amplifying nurse led research and get some VCS input. Is there much interest in this?
