All or nothing? Access and variation in NHS continuing health care NHS continuing health care provides funded health and social care support for people with very complex needs outside hospital. Yet our comprehensive new report shows this system is highly inconsistent...

NEW REPORT: We reveal how NHS continuing health care (CHC) is failing to reach some of the most unwell patients in England in their time of need, while reinforcing deep regional inequalities.

The research is part-funded by @nuffieldfoundation.org

Hello Cross Country, I'm standing with lots of others, young and old on the Plymouth train (12.11 from Leeds, I think it set off from Newcastle). I realise it's half term, but surely you do too?
Not really good enough to pay for a seat and not get one.

Amazing work @shelaghor.bsky.social ! So disappointed not to have seen you!

Can't believe I'm not there in person to see and hear George, Rebecca and Joanna speak about their fabulous work!

Indeed I am! Thanks so much everyone. Missing you all.

Big me up Claire, I would love it! 😀😀😀

Applicable to many NHS trusts up and down the country!

Gutted not to be there in person 😢

So why is this not all over the front pages and main story on the news outlets instead of billionaire farmers fighting against paying tax 🤬🤬🤬they then wonder why the ordinary person is completely appalled by politicians priorities & their lack lustre actions

Advocated by many including the evangelistic and fabulous Muir Grey.
Great to see clear evidence

@emmavardy2.bsky.social is spot on!! Definitely see them live if you get a chance - they're well worth it. Touring this autumn (though many dates sold out, I think).

Amazing clear and informative @rcphysicians.bsky.social Samuel Gee lecture today on treatments for Alzheimer's Disease.
Look at all those treatments in trials!

Some interesting research here from (England based) myhomelife.org.uk on how many people thrive in a care setting.

In the right circumstances, a care home can be exactly the right option for someone and we shouldn’t always see it as a poor outcome, or a necessary evil.

Review of the quality of studies on the economic effects of smoke-free policies on the hospitality industry Data sources: Researchers sought all studies produced before 31 August 2002. Articles published in scientific journals were located with Medline, Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index...

I see the old myth that smoking bans reduce income in hospitality sector is being dragged out again. To be clear, the only studies showing any adverse effect use weak methodology and are funded by the tobacco industry
