🆕 With how much the NHS pays for new branded medicines in the news, @sallygainsbury.bsky.social & Huseyin Naci describe the role of price controls in balancing demands on the NHS budget – and why the government should stand firm in not weakening those controls. tinyurl.com/53xcpcbb

Today we’ve published our analysis of NHS Continuing Healthcare. An often overlooked but vital source of support for people with complex health & care needs. It’s a story of variation, falling eligibility and harrowing experiences as people struggle to navigate this opaque & adversarial system

And read our previous report from this project into learning from the first wave of Covid-19 in England which highlighted a series of weaknesses in the social care system that need to be addressed through reform 👇

The blog summarises a wealth of learning gathered from Denmark, France, Japan & the Netherlands by me, @adelinacohe.bsky.social @camille-oung.bsky.social and Joanna Marczak (with input from many others). Read the full papers here 👇

📰As the Covid-19 Inquiry's public hearings into social care begin, there is much to be learnt from other countries and how their care systems coped during the pandemic. My blog shares some of the insights from research by @nuffieldtrust.org.uk & @cpeclse.bsky.social published today 👇

Women spend more of their working-age years living with ill health than men.

Brilliant new #Qualitywatch analysis from my @nuffieldtrust.org.uk colleagues unpicking the factors driving this 🔽

Some thoughts from my colleague @ninahemmings.bsky.social on what the immigration white paper means for social care. Vacancies are still high & the plan for boosting the domestic pipeline is a long way off so stopping overseas recruitment now risks leaving a void in the short term.

NEW ANALYSIS explores how approaches to #AssistedDying vary internationally.

The Nuffield Trust holds a neutral position on the legalisation of assisted dying in the UK.

Our analysis reviews the evidence for jurisdictions where it has been implemented, to help inform debate.

Our #NTsummit last week was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who took part. All the live-streamed sessions are now available to watch again. www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/summit/nuffi...

Earlier at our Summit, our panellists shed light on the intense challenges people have getting access to NHS Continuing Healthcare services - NHS funded care that's provided outside of hospital for people with significant ongoing care needs. #NTSummit

Juliet Bouverie shares her thoughts 👇

The final livestreamed session of our Summit is about to begin. #NTSummit

What do problems with NHS Continuing Healthcare services tell us about wider issues in health and care?

Day 2 of #ntsummit. Tune in to our livestream. Session on NHS CHC is at 10.15am where my colleague Rachel Hutchings will be talking about the research we’ve been doing.

Now seems like a particularly important time to resist polarisation and to encourage nuance.

I’m excited to have this conversation - and publish a paper on the future of partnership - tomorrow #ntsummit

Being exposed to racism can have devastating effects for #NHS staff, including poorer health, poorer retention and underrepresentation in senior roles, says @stephanihatch.bsky.social. #NTSummit #antiracism

Why does planned change fail so often? #NTSummit

@theasrstein.bsky.social highlights the complicated role that financial incentives and skill mix have played in efforts to change the #NHS.

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 >>

Wonderful to see our team's paper (on training needs for staff working on remote & digital general practice) featured in the BJGP 2024's Top 10 most-read articles list! Thanks @bjgp.bsky.social

Join me and some very insightful fellow panelists tomorrow as we discuss the implications of the Budget for adult social care providers. 👇

The funding of #generalpractice is unfair and inequitable.

New @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social with the Health Equity Evidence Centre looks at why, why it matters, options to ‘fix’ the problem and makes clear what we think is the way forward.

Today, we published our estimate of the impact of measures in the budget on social care providers. @cglobont.bsky.social sets it all out in this handy thread 👇. With many thanks to @sallygainsbury.bsky.social for her support & guidance & to many in the sector who we tested our assumptions on.

With the number of people with dementia rising, our social care system *really* needs adapting to meet people’s needs better. But so difficult to envisage this when that system as a whole is under such unprecedented strain. Here’s some clear policy and thinking about ways to move this forward…

Keep eyes peeled for an important social care story from @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social colleagues tomorrow 👀
