Long waiting lists, worsening public health outcomes & poor value for money from health spending. England's addiction to high cost hospital based model of care needs to change. Transitioning to a community based, prevention focused, model of care will be difficult but necessary.

Two superb opportunities to work with our population health team in Humber and North Yorkshire ICB, closing this Thursday 1/8. 8b Head of Preventable Risk Factors (tinyurl.com/y7h52d94) 8a Programme Manager - Preventable Risk Factors (tinyurl.com/3vkfvs4v)

The NHS may be broken, according to @UKLabour @wesstreeting, but here’s how to fix it. Prevention, Prevention, Prevention, Prevention…. 1. Prevent poverty. It’s the single biggest determinant of ill health, and health and social care demand, both now and in the future. Blair and Brown made good progress in reducing it. So it can be done. 2. Prevent illness, with a relentless focus on living well, self-care, mental health support and tackling the commercial determinants of illness. Dental disease is the commonest cause of childhood operations, and yet it’s almost 100% preventable. 3. Prevent existing risks and diseases getting worse, with evidence-based screening and a substantial shift in resources to primary, community and social care 4. Preventing waste and medical harm, by ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, from the right people at the right time. This is the toughest nut to crack, as it requires adequate numbers of well trained and well rested staff working in safe, clean environments with the right equipment. We currently spent three times as much litigating harms from maternity care than we do on maternity care. This is a permanent disaster and would be a very good place to start. Instead of repeating our mistakes, we need to learn from them.

Born and Bred in Doncaster, a birth cohort study, reaches milestone 2500 participants following ‘Teddy Bears’ Picnic’ Born and Bred in Doncaster (BaBi-D), a research programme aiming to help improve the health and well-being of children and families across Doncaster, recruited its 2,500th participant earlier this year. To celebrate BaBi-D’s milestone and the project's second anniversary, the BaBi-D team hosted a teddy bears’ picnic at the Doncaster Central Family Hub on earlier in the summer, in collaboration with the Doncaster Remake Learning Festival. The session, attended by approximately 50 parents and their little ones, was designed for families with children aged up to four years. It featured numerous engaging activities for attendees and provided an opportunity to discuss the Born and Bred in Doncaster study with the Research Team at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals (DBTH). The BaBi-D study is part of a national research scheme which aims to improve the health and wellbeing of local children and families, whilst maintaining a strong focus on health inequalities and inclusion. The data provided from this cohort study will help the Trust and participating partners gain a better understanding of what local families want and need from healthcare services across the borough, ensuring locally commissioned services are inclusive, with consideration of additional research for further understanding and improvement for our local population. BaBi-D was launched in June 2022 and in just under two years, has recruited over 2,500 participants to be a part of the groundbreaking study. Speaking about BaBi-D, Lois Mellor, BaBi Doncaster Principal Investigator and Director of Midwifery at Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals, said: “We are amazed to see how much the study has grown in just under two years. I want to thank all the participants who agreed to be part of this study and all the colleagues who supported the project. Dr. Sam Debbage, Director of Education and Research at DBTH, added: "Reaching 2,500 participants is a significant milestone for the BaBi-D study. We are incredibly grateful for the community's support and enthusiasm. This achievement highlights the collective effort to enhance health and wellbeing in Doncaster. We warmly invite more families to join us as we continue to make strides in this important research. "We’re looking forward to welcoming more participants onto BaBi-D and changing the future of the health and wellbeing of children and families across Doncaster for the better.” To find out more about the study, please visit: dbth.nhs.uk/research-and-i…
