How does patient experience compare across different #NHS services?

In the latest surveys, #cancer patients responded most favourably of all the patient groups, while respondents to the Community Mental Health Survey rated their overall experience the lowest.

Acceptability, Feasibility, and Perceived Effectiveness of Video-Based Patient Records for Supporting Care Delivery to Older Adults With Frailty: Nonrandomized Mixed Methods Pilot Study Background: Frailty constitutes a growing challenge for health and social care systems around the world. In England, 35% of adults aged 65 and over live with frailty, with international estimates indi...

⚠️ Take home messages: Video-based patient records show evidence of promise for use in the care of older adults with frailty, but implementation challenges remain.

Improved intervention uptake relies on better integration of the technology into daily clinical workflows

🔗 www.jmir.org/2026/1/e77318

🌟 Perceived effectiveness: Despite low engagement with videos once captured, the perceived effectiveness was promising.

Participants felt that videos could support improved interprofessional communication, clinical assessment quality, and continuity of care across different teams

5/

⁉️ Feasibility: Implementation within the acute hospital setting presented some challenges.

Busy ward environments and scheduling conflicts made it difficult to capture patient videos. Upon video capture, we found low overall engagement: staff didn’t always watch videos once they were uploaded

4/

✅ Acceptability: Most participating patients, carers, and acute hospital ward staff found the intervention to be highly acceptable.

Participants felt that so long as privacy safeguards and dignity were maintained, video-based records could provide a more person-centered view of the patient

3/

⚠️ The problem: clinical notes or verbal handovers seldom capture the nuance of a person's functional abilities.

In this pilot study, video-recordings of individual participating patients were embedded securely into the electronic patient record (e.g. to show mobility baseline or support needs)

2/

📣 Pleased that our published paper is now live in JMIR, based on work completed during my prior role at @imperialmed.bsky.social

🔎 We wanted to find out whether videos, embedded within the electronic patient record, may support improved care for older adult inpatients with frailty

Inequity in action: Why minoritised ethnic patients are more often rapidly tranquilised & what needs to change

New review shows minoritised ethnic patients are 32% more likely to get rapid tranquilisation in mental health hospitals.

It’s a stark example of systemic racism & bias in care.
