@shelaghor.bsky.social great to catch up at yesterday’s clinical summit!

Hearing from @sarahscobie.bsky.social that people living in deprivation are the most likely to be admitted to hospital in the last year of life #NTSummit

Love this quote - « real delivery is about the grind, not just the grand » & it needs individual relationships, genuine expertise & hard work - from Thea’s opener at #NTSummit @theasrstein.bsky.social @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social

Great to see. Heard recently about an NHS Trust connecting their maternity patients with this scheme to excellent effect. Go @goodthingsfdn.bsky.social

Becks Fisher reminds us of Starfield’s 4Cs being the central components of primary care #HospitalAtHome @becksfisher.bsky.social @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social @optumhealth.bsky.social

Need to put money where our mouth is & shift funds to out of hospital care. Our neighbours spend markedly more on social care - we spend around 2% Netherlands at 4%, Norway 3.5+ & both Denmark & Sweden 3%+ #HospitalToHome @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social @optumhealth.bsky.social @sjanereed.bsky.social

Data shared at #HospitalAtHome that UK patients spend longer in hospital, around 2 days longer on average, than European counterparts with a similar bed base … @sjanereed.bsky.social @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social

A winter wonderland

Blue sky indeed!

It strikes me that a relatively small number of the most strongly evidenced digital solutions, scaled systematically across the NHS would make a huge difference to patient care, experience and clinical lives. What do you think? www.doccla.com/darzi
