Can We Really Be β€˜Fit For The Future’ Without Physical Activity? | The King's Fund The government’s 10 Year Health Plan promises a shift from sickness to prevention but overlooks the role of physical activity, says GP registrar Bonar McGuire.

Physical activity reduces the risk of long-term conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, and supports good mental health.

So why does the 10 Year Health Plan pay such limited attention to it?

I’m sure the multi-national colleagues at Telford’s Princess Royal Hospital really appreciate the sudden outbreak of β€˜patriotism’ on the entrance to the hospital, as they enter and leave work each day, taking care of the flag raisers family and friends.

Our latest chart gives food for thought as we look towards the release of the NHS ten-year plan.

Govt wants to shift more care into the community, but there's been a worrying decline in district nurses - a staff group that would be crucial to achieving this aim.

"Ten years ago, we would have never accepted old ladies being on corridors next to an (emergency) department for hours on end and they have become normal in the NHS...We’ve got to get ourselves out of that, and everybody wants to get out of it.”
