Health and Care Forum hosted a great panel on realising the potential of UK life sciences. Greater Manchester's role as a prevention demonstrator and use of in silico clinical trials points to where we are getting it right in teams of driving innovation.

We heard from Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Helen Whateley at @re-state.bsky.social's panel event.

It’s important that the government makes work pay - poor mental health has had a huge impact on the numbers of people out of work, as demonstrated by the pandemic.

Older people living in the North are more likely to be frail or have a fall that requires hospital treatment, compared to those in the South East. Our Ageing in the North report exposes the vast inequalities older populations face in our regions #OlderPersonsDay
