Yesterday, @theasrstein.bsky.social joined @bbcradio4.bsky.social You and Yours as their expert guest to discuss the problems people are having accessing #NHS dentists. 🦷 Listen here. 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Good to see coverage if this report. Admin & comms isnt glamorous or new - but it’s the basis of most complaints in the NHD & critical to get right. @jacoblant.bsky.social @hbuckingham.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

From reddit: a letter from a postdoc who survived the Bolsonaro years. This is helpful framing for how to science in this administration. 🧪 www.reddit.com/r/labrats/s/...

🆕 There has been a lot of recent interest in the rising demand for NHS #autism and #ADHD services. In this Q&A, Our Chief Executive @theasrstein.bsky.social shares her thoughts on how big the problem is and whether there is a way to improve it. 👇

This is significant analysis from the Nuffield Trust. Not a great look for the NHS to yet again lose control of its spending - but are the budgets realistic given population growth, ageing, and chronic sickness and deprivation?

Well worth a read - sobering stuff www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/nh...

Our new analysis out today looks at the deteriorating finances of NHS trusts. NHS trusts consume over 75% of the English NHS budget, so if you want to know how the NHS is coping with its current funding, your starting point should be the doubling of the trust overspend to £1.2bn by March 2024 >>

Our research with the Health Economics Unit & @mariecurieuk.bsky.social reveals how much public money is spent on health care, social care & social security for those in their final year of life. Over half of the £22bn annual total goes on health care. 💷 Read report: https://buff.ly/3Eqyfxz

Useful response to this piece from @theasrstein.bsky.social Reflects common desire for govt to say something soon, to make it clear WHAT it wants neighbourhood health to achieve, what outcomes More tricky is separating, even initially, the 2 threads - since govnt & others likely to want both/and

Shifting care from hospitals into community services is central to the government's plan to fix the NHS. Here @theasrstein.bsky.social & @sjanereed.bsky.social set out 3 key questions the government needs to answer to avoid repeating past mistakes 👇 www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/br...

Good article & worth a read alongside this www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/is... Is France’s healthcare system the cure for the NHS? www.thetimes.com/article/3319...

Our #hospitaltohome policy event is about to get underway! The morning's first session looks at how other countries have worked to shift care, and how international models could be applied in England. Watch it live: buff.ly/40w8rrl

NEW REPORT: The #NHS must learn the lessons of the past to better integrate its dramatically expanded staff mix. 👨‍⚕️ Commissioned by @nhsemployers.bsky.social Read our thread 👇 www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/research/in-...

Brilliant from @becksfisher.bsky.social “Advice and guidance can be effective if used judiciously for the right patients and the advice back is timely and of high quality” We have been using A&G for years in NEL - it’s not a wand to reduce waiting lists- it’s appropriate for when advice is needed

The elective care plan is the flagship effort for the government to meet its waits pledge to the British people www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/a-.... But it leaves 5 major points yet to be decided - find out what and when here @theasrstein.bsky.social @sallygainsbury.bsky.social

Very much looking forward to attending this @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social event next week. Anyone remember the primary care-led NHS policy of the 1990s? We’ve made some progress with it but nowhere near enough @becksfisher.bsky.social @theasrstein.bsky.social @natashacurry.bsky.social

Excellent, readable and compelling blog here from my colleague @becksfisher.bsky.social on the recent elective recovery plan and what it means for general practice

The view from #primarycare on the #elective recovery plan www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/th...

@nuffieldtrust.bsky.social with @theasrstein.bsky.social & discussed End of Life Care, esp as most people die in older age, leading cause dementia, 43% in hospital, all issues relevant to @gerisoc.bsky.social members Also discussed workforce, flow, generalism, SDM! Lots to do! #choosegeriatrics

Ah …. Choice is again one if yye answers. Wirth reasing this summary of dome if tte evidence. As ever - its complex, its situational, you need capacity & you beef to drive qudlity not price www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/my...

Yes -@wesstreeting - we need a lasting political & public consensus for #socialcare settlement. But we have to move with a sense of urgency & concern. The building is on fire - it is literally falling apart.

Still have the instinct to say thank you to all #community staff in the #NHS & #socialcare out there today visiting people in their own homes. Often the only visit of the day. Thank you

🧵 The National Institute for Health and Care Research RSET programme – run by the Nuffield Trust, @uclofficial.bsky.social and the University of Cambridge – has reported back on the first phase of its project into the use of AI in chest radiology 👇 www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/research/mix...

The Devolution White Paper continues some very significant shifts to how England is run. 4 interesting points for the #NHS and social care www.gov.uk/government/p...

@samfr.bsky.social made me buy it as his review on his books of the year looked sooooo good that I broke my rule of not buying hard backs (because u can’t read them in the bath). This better be good ! 😊

Rates of norovirus and flu ⬆️ and vaccination rates ⬇️- the familiar combination of winter illnesses and cold weather is likely to make things more difficult for the health service in the coming months. Read our response to today's #NHS performance stats 👇 www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/nu...

@who.int Director-General's remarks at a media briefing on 10 December 2024: "We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense. It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills. The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to."
