Pathway

Ross was instrumental in making that happen.

We can’t thank him enough for his hard work and commitment to the project.

Having a show garden at #RHSChelsea provided an invaluable opportunity to raise awareness of:

➡️ the catastrophic impact of homelessness on health

➡️ the huge obstacles people experiencing homelessness face in getting the healthcare they desperately need

Co-production is at the heart of what we do. People with experience of homelessness advise across all our work.

This year Ross has been a key member of our #RHSChelsea show garden team - right from the start, through to the garden opening at its new home with @shekinahcharity.bsky.social.

We believe that everyone has the chance of a long and healthy life.

That’s why we're proud to join the @healthequals.bsky.social
coalition to support action on the building blocks of health and #MakeHealthEqual in the UK.

A beautiful morning in Plymouth- what a day for the official launch of the RHS Chelsea @pathwayuk.bsky.social garden at Shekinah- wonderful way to celebrate collaboration for #inclusionhealth

More work is needed to set out how the Plan will meet the needs of people facing the most extreme health inequalities.

We look forward to working with the Government to make this a reality through the Cross-Government homelessness strategy.

There are also reasons to be cautious:

➡️ Digital access requires specific mitigations for people who face digital exclusion.

➡️ Lack of data to measure the NHS’s impact on people facing homelessness risks deepening exclusion. 👇

The Plan could change this: more assertive mental health outreach, care plans for people with complex needs & multidisciplinary teams working in neighbourhoods.

Indeed, Inclusion health specialist services already model treating complexity accompanied by poverty in neighbourhoods. 👇

The NHS 10 Year Plan is bold and ambitious, describing a vision of how all want to be treated – with continuous, accessible, integrated care.

We welcome the Plan’s recognition of the poor health and early deaths of people facing homelessness as an ‘intolerable injustice’. 👇

@pathwayuk.bsky.social thanks Gill Taylor, @england.nhs.uk, @itsgroundswell.bsky.social and all the speakers and participants in our Integrated Care System Inclusion Health Learning Programme. (4/4)

Govt leadership, investment and cross-govt collaborative working is needed to support local systems and services in developing dynamic, creative models of integrated care.

The NHS 10-Year Plan presents a critical opportunity for bold, inclusive action to achieve this. (3/4)

Significant progress been made in Inclusion Health policy and practice, including publication of the 2023 NHS England Framework for NHS action on Inclusion Health.

However, achieving fundamental improvement for this population is hampered by systemic barriers. (2/4)

Written by Gill Taylor, @pathwayuk.bsky.social is delighted to share our new report on integrated working for inclusion health.

The report details learning and action recommendations from our 2nd successful collaborative Integrated Care System Inclusion Health Learning Programme. (1/4)

We are calling for the Government to use the NHS 10 Year Plan and cross-Government homelessness strategy to stop the misery and suffering experienced by people facing homelessness as they try to access the healthcare they need, and in so doing to help put NHS care for all on a firmer footing. (3/3)

Everyday our Pathway hospital teams see the health catastrophe of homelessness identified in the Darzi Review.

Improving care for the sickest people cannot wait for the NHS to be ‘fixed’.

Bold action is needed now 👇 (2/3)

We welcome the investment in the NHS and social housing announced in today’s #SpendingReview.

Safe and secure housing is a bedrock of good health.

Implementation of these plans must not overlook the extreme health inequalities faced by people experiencing homelessness 👇 (1/3)

Ahead of the #SpendingReview, the Govt must choose:

💷 Invest in specialist homelessness services

❌ Keep risking lives & wasting NHS resources

We delivered an open letter to No. 10 last week, urging Govt to back their own promises. Let’s see if they do.

#ASafePlaceToRecover

A year ago, we shared the brutal reality of street discharge at #ConfedExpo. Our message remains the same: It's unsafe, inhumane, and avoidable.

With the #SpendingReview days away, the Govt must fund reforms to end this practice - for good.

#ASafePlaceToRecover #Homelessness #NHS

Over 1,000 healthcare and homelessness workers are calling for real investment in specialist services.

Today, we joined colleagues with lived experience of homelessness to deliver an open letter to 10 Downing Street.

Our message to Keir Starmer: stop discharging people from hospital to the street. It’s cruel and inefficient.

Great to support @crisis-uk.bsky.social @sheltercharity.bsky.social @natfednews.bsky.social's call for the Chancellor to invest in a future built on secure and genuinely affordable social homes in next week's Spending Review.

''It seems to me a really cruel thing to do.''

Join Dr Jenny Drife in telling Keir Starmer that he has a choice to make: act now to end street discharge or continue to watch as people's lives are put at risk: pathway.eaction.org.uk/openletter

#ASafePlaceToRecover

Having a safe place to recover in dignity should be the standard for everyone who is discharged from hospital.
