I’m sure reducing benefit over payments (of any kind) polls well in isolation but when you look at the devastating impact in the real world on carers, and the cruel way Gov is managing this, it can’t go on. Not to mention social care would collapse entirely without family carers.

That’s brilliant news! Congrats Victor Adebowale and IPPR what a great appointment on both sides I think. :)

Most of us will become unpaid carers at some point in our lives! Not giving unpaid carers the support they deserve is a form of slavery!

We are currently collaborating with Care Quality Commission, Healthwatch England, as well as a range of other brilliant partners on the #ShareForBetterCare campaign🤝

I agree. Let’s the basics right before dog-whistle politics. The NHS should be above this.

Ppl tell us they’re waiting too long to get a diagnosis and treatment and face huge disparity in how long they can expect to live simply because of who they are or where they come from.  #NHS constitution review should be shoring up our health system not targeting communities.

Oooh this looks like a very cool role. Working with a great team and lovely CEO. I understand The King's Fund will be working on a new strategy soon too, so excellent time to get in on the act. Check it out folks. :)

.National Voices's new report identifies how patient information leaflets should be improved & explores wider barriers to participating in research: shorturl.at/csBDM

Recommendations include: co-production & alternative formats for those with additional communication needs.

Great blog Lisa Weaks The King's Fund on importance of the VCSE to long term success of health and social care. Pressures are huge right now, and developing a more sustainable and strategic relationship between statutory and voluntary sector should be a priority for any new Gov.

To me the NHS has long neglected the importance of management capacity, organisation structures, performance management processes and incentives. no wonder it is a mess...

Honestly so pleased to see this. Recognition from NHS England of need to focus on #admin to improve patient experience and outcomes. Shows a real response to what patient groups been calling for over a number of years. Looking forward to working with the collab #Getthebasicsright

ARGHHHHHH!

Brilliant new work from Nuffield Trust and The Health Foundation shedding light on the current landscape of cancer diagnosis.

Some hard hitting findings, including 20% of 16-24yr olds being seen in a GP practice 5 or more times before being diagnosed.

Last month, we published data showing people like using the NHS App but felt there needed to be more info to help people use it.
You'll find videos👉 ow.ly/H65w50Rmon5 that show you how to use the App.

Thanks to the local BBC radio stations for taking to us about this today, the need for more organ donations and what it means to have a transplant. Here’s BBC Three Counties Radio at 2 hrs 45 into the show bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

Everyone knows that social care is in dire straits, no one has yet worked out how to make the debate about what to do about it politically acceptable. nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/shif… (5/10)

The sick leave culture trope is popular, scroungers etc but appears to have little basis in reality compared to every other European country…. #evidencematters (chart from Resolution Foundation )
