A year on since coming to power, the government's 10 Year Health Plan sets out the direction of travel for the #NHS.
The plan is hugely ambitious. But can it deliver on that ambition? 💭

Nice display of how flow is greater than numbers in the cause of long waits. How does this contrast with the community care focus of the 10-year plan?
It was good to see @samfr.bsky.social say today that "the main reason for lengthy A&E waiting times is the lack of hospital beds for people who need admitting, which gums up the whole system as they have to keep being treated by emergency staff."

“Nigel Farage said he no longer wants an NHS funded through general taxation”.
He wants to replace the NHS entirely with Private Health Care.
We may see Reform gaining votes from those who would suffer most from his ideology.
Sound familiar?

Can prioritising non-clinical support for people who frequently attend A&E contribute to the government’s ambition to deliver three major shifts in health and care?

Great to see our paper published in the British Paramedic Journal this month.
The article formed part of our work in developing and refining the #OHNLS course.
Unbelievably gratifying to see such positive results which will hopefully translate to better care for #babies born out of hospital
