And it’s only right that we start with one of reform's biggest, but simultaneously least explored, barriers: culture.

I’ve not read the published paper yet, but what resonated with me from your (very helpful) summary is ‘There is a bias towards standardisation and simplicity’ and ‘Politics is impatient for quick legible results’.

I spoke a little bit on the radio about why the deconstruction of Grenfell Tower weighs so heavily. The Tower sustains the memory of Grenfell, it is a part of the community. Out of sight, out of mind? (As Karim Mussilhy said at the anniversary). Another tough week for everyone. Sending strength.

LSE Methodology @lsemethodology.bsky.social · Sep 4

As the careful demolition of Grenfell Tower begins this week, Professor @floracornish.bsky.social spoke to BBC Radio 4 Today about her work with Grenfell's communities 💚

Yes ⬇️. “The government has a choice. Either accelerate delivery on its prevention promise or stand back and acquiesce to a further decline in our health. Inaction has serious consequences: for people’s lives, for communities, for employers and for the economy.”

The Health Foundation @healthfoundation.bsky.social · Sep 6

With the government's health mission missing in action, @jenniferthf.bsky.social & @thekingsfund.bsky.social Sarah Woolnough reflect on diluted ambitions & call for a prevention revolution

A prevention revolution – or another missed opportunity?

The UK’s health is in trouble, and it’s holding us back, write the chief executives of the Health Foundation and The King's Fund.
