"Medicine is difficult. We need to continue to attract the brightest to train as doctors. We need to ensure that their training is long enough to make them equipped to do the difficult daily work of the doctor."

More evidence from robust evaluation by my colleagues @TheIFS that SureStart had impressive long run impacts. Previous work showed it improved the long run health and educational achievement of poorer children. New work shows drop in serious youth offending.
Nick Ridpath@nridpathecon
More @TheIFS work out on Sure Start today, looking at rare and costly outcomes. We find big drops in serious youth offending (including youth custody), but less improvement in social care interactions or school behaviour. Take a look 👇

@GrimshawJeremy Congratulations, Jeremy! Hopefully you can combine purpose and pleasure and do more of things that give you deep satisfaction and less of things that do the opposite. (And come and say hello if ever you find yourself in Oxford.)

Many thanks, JMG"

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS.
I think this is a national scandal.
Please RT if you do too 🙏
Hospice UK@hospiceuk
In this interview with @skynewsniall, Dr Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) emphasises the need to prioritise quality end of life care. Regardless of Parliament's decision on assisted dying, fixing the funding of our struggling hospice and end of life care system is essential.

@RslewisSally A great stage of life….such a joy to have the chance to build a life of purpose and pleasure that’s right for you.

These are very wise and important words from @sean9n. They deserve to be repeated and repeated and repeated till they become widely understood. And, if we want the NHS to survive, we all need to help the system respond to them constructively. Read it from beginning to end.
Sean Ninan@sean9n
Why is the NHS less productive? Why are doctors so unhappy? could we fix both these things? With warnings from @ShaunLintern and lessons from @Philippa_Perry @danariely sean9n.wordpress.com/2024/10/11/wha… @Thea_Stein @parthaskar @drohanlon @mgtmccartney @mellojonny

One of the lovely things that happened at #GES2024 was that we had a chance to acknowledge 35 extraordinary years of @GrimshawJeremy's commitment to this global movement. People stood up and gave him a standing ovation, and it was just absolutely lovely to see 🧵4/7

@RCPhysicians .@RCPhysicians if you are to properly represent your members you will articulate & promote clear views about the role and scope of practice of PAs, the clarity of the distinction between doctors and non-doctors and what regulators need to do to properly promote patient safety.

‘This King’s Fund report is important and sobering reading for all of us at the RCP. It shows how, as a leadership team, we must refocus on our core purpose – putting physicians first.
‘The report highlights an organisation that was neither listening, nor responding quickly enough, to the questions and concerns being raised by its fellows and members. It points to the need for improvements in our culture, governance, processes and the way that we represent physicians of all generations.
‘We are grateful for the support of fellows and members, and we welcome hearing your views to continue driving positive change at RCP.’ Dr @Mumtaz_Patel_1, senior censor and vice president for education and training, who is acting as RCP president.

Today @TheKingsFund has published the findings of its independent learning review into the RCP EGM in March.
We fully accept the report and its 10 recommendations. We have pledged to learn and, more importantly, to act, improve and rebuild for fellows and members.

@LaylaMoran @CommonsHealth Congrats from a constituent. You’ve a heck of a task ahead of you. I wish you every success, for all our sakes.

Delighted to have been elected Chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee @CommonsHealth.
From GPs to dentists, maternity services to mental health there is much to do. The committee has a vital role to play scrutinising govt as it tackles these challenges.

Whisper it very softly
But we may not be too far from nearly 1 in 2 children with #T1Diabetes being on #ClosedLoops
1 in 2 on the best thing science can provide at the moment beyond a cure
Less than 12 months since @NICEComms TA 943
Ka-Boom 😎
A promise made…#gbdoc

This is a fantastic change in relatively short time and shows the motivation of all involved.
Don't underestimate how much time and work has been put into achieving this fundamental change in the NHS.
Well done!
