Lots of media discussion recently about why it's hard to attract UK staff to #socialcare. Perhaps start by looking at this Ipsos in the UK Department of Health and Social Care research on careworker quality of life, presented today at NIHR School for Social Care Research conference. There are positives but also big negatives

Fed up with headlines claiming #socialcare is responsible for specific - and usually high - numbers of delayed discharge? After crunching the data we can say that… we just don’t know the true figure, because we stopped asking. Time to start again, though. kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…

AI could save 268,250 hours of #socialcare time per week for social workers, says this report from Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. The number is speculative but does anyone really doubt the potential? The question is more how to implement AI ethically. institute.global/insights/polit…

I wonder which makes the biggest difference to carers’ ability to work: flexible working for themselves or availability/affordability of paid #socialcare services for the person they care for? (Ideally, obviously, you’d want both). ftadviser.com/social-care/20…

This is the sort of news story that care homes need. While it is of course nice to read about exotic animal visits (and there are lots of those stories in local newspapers), this is the one makes people reassess their image of residential care. #socialcare chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas…

This is a terrific blog from my The King's Fund colleague, Julia Cream, and it includes one of the most startling opening lines you will ever read. #Carers kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…

Despite the dramatic headline, it seems that Casey has simply decided to meet the parties separately at first and bring them together later. It should be quite hard to work up to a ‘fury’ about that. #socialcare telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…
