The government has promised to make productivity a central focus of the 10-Year Health Plan.
But to succeed, productivity must be framed as a way of enhancing quality of care. Improvement leaders and practitioners have a crucial role to play ⬇️

Science isn't and shouldn't just be for scientists (or for that matter policymakers).
Although the evaluation and peer review of research is carried out by experts in the field, this does not, and should not, imply that non-experts aren't informed of how scientific findings are used. Cross-disciplinary scientific research is testament to that. #academicsky

Headlines are warning of a 'quad-demic' about the hit the NHS, but data show that a 'quad-demic' is v unlikely.
The worry is not that the NHS is about to be hit by unprecedented demand, but that it is unable to cope with normal demand.

Is the NHS facing a 'quad-demic' this winter?
No, but it is finding it harder and harder to cope with 'normal' winter pressures. Plus flu might still have a nasty kicker in store this winter.
