This week for the FIRST time EVER the NHS published their Waiting List Breakdowns To Tackle Health InequalitiesThe inequalities are nothing new to me- I have been working in primary care medicine for nearly 19years and support patients whilst they wait on the NHS for care.We have mountains of evidence to show that the longer someone waits for care the worse the prognosis, more complicated the care needed, worse impact on earning and relationships. That is why I co-chair The Health Collective with Professor Dame Lesley Regan, Ambassador for the Women’s Health Strategy to ensure that equaliable healthcare in included in the strategy by having marginalised communities at the table who tell policy makers what works for their communityWe must keep striving for equitable healthcare as an act of humanity Ref: NHS publishes waiting list breakdowns to tackle health inequalities. 17 July 2025https://www.england.nhs.uk/2025/07/nhs-publishes-waiting-list-breakdowns-to-tackle-health-inequalities/@wellbeingofwomen The Health CollectiveView all 1,461 comments

Assessing stroke survivors’ knowledge: a scoping review of tools and influencing factors - Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition Background Stroke survivors’ knowledge of their condition is essential for self-management and adherence to secondary prevention strategies. However, current methods for assessing stroke knowledge are not consistent. This scoping review aimed to review existing assessment tools, evaluate their characteristics, and identify factors associated with stroke knowledge to inform the development of more effective, patient-centred educational strategies. Review design and methods A scoping review was conducted to evaluate existing methods used to assess stroke knowledge and the factors influencing patients’ knowledge among stroke survivors. Systematic searches of PubMed, Cochrane, and CINAHL were performed from inception to June 2025. Studies assessing stroke survivors’ knowledge were included. Data were extracted on tool characteristics, assessed themes, administration methods, readability, validation, and knowledge-associated factors. Findings were qualitatively synthesised. Results Thirty-nine studies were included. Most studies assessed mixed cohorts of ischaemic, haemorrhagic, and TIAs. Stroke symptoms and risk factors were the most frequently assessed themes, while rehabilitation, medications, and lifestyle behaviours were less explored. Tools were primarily self-administered questionnaires, typically completed in under 15 min, but often lacked standardised cut-off values and demonstrated limited reporting of development processes. Factors positively associated with knowledge included higher education, younger age, and healthier lifestyles. Conclusion Existing assessments of stroke survivors’ knowledge have considerable variability, limited validation, and inconsistent alignment with survivors’ information needs. Developing standardised, validated, and patient-centred assessment tools that are tailored to stroke type and accessible across literacy levels is essential for advancing stroke education and supporting long-term recovery. These findings can inform policymakers in tailoring education efforts and designing interventions that directly address knowledge gaps across diverse stroke survivor populations. Future research should prioritise longitudinal evaluation of knowledge and its impact on clinical outcomes.

✨ Happy end of the week!
Our scoping review is out 🎉 Big thanks to Allam Harfoush for the great effort 👏
It highlights the need for tailored stroke education and future studies on how patient knowledge shapes outcomes.

Great to hear Dr Sarah Armstrong present the proposal for the CONSULT-ME study @sapc.ac.uk focusing on patient and carer experiences of involvement in remote primary care consultations for medical education. A vital and timely area of research—well done to Sarah and everyone involved! 👏

I’m really enjoying my new garden office! It’s full of random paints and drawings – a lovely mess, just like my brain! 😄 It actually helps me think (and sometimes waste a bit of time too). Bonus: it’s a DIY project, so extra proud! 🎨🧠🌿🔨

Why do humans still allow war? How is AI considered progress and peace isn’t?

I despair.
