🚨'The urgent and emergency care system is failing patients, failing in its core function. Patients face long waits for an ambulance to arrive, long waits in A&E departments, long waits for a bed. The NHS crisis demands leadership.' @RCEMpresident @RCollEM

Report @theRCN Feb 2022: dire shortages in nursing workforce compromising patient care even before the pandemic won’t have improved given increases in demand.
💯@CareQualityComm inpatient survey: only 55% of patients felt there were always enough🏥nurses on duty to care for them.

The annual @CareQualityComm #StateOfCare report’s out today, just in time to focus minds as decisions are made about future health and care funding. Here’s my thread, picking out some of the nuggets that have got me thinking. 🧵 1/10

2/10 Overall #StateOfCare message: gridlocked care, growing risks of harm and a need to tackle inequalities. Summarised here in the foreword. Stresses need for workforce investment at system level. Rightly says need to understand people’s experiences overall not in isolation.
3/10 Good to see this reminder in #StateOfCare that ICSs need to use insights from local people to drive and track improvement. Key role for #Healthwatch and #VCSFE organisations there, I’d say. Very relevant to the need for shared learning described in section on collaboration.
Some key points for primary care and GPs from the @CareQualityComm #StateOfCare report - a thread.
1/ GP practices are, once again, the highest-rated NHS service (90% rated Good, 4% requires improvement and <0.5% inadequate) that the CQC covers.
1/ GP practices are, once again, the highest-rated NHS service (90% rated Good, 4% requires improvement and <0.5% inadequate) that the CQC covers.
2/ The report says workforce data from NHS Digital shows "some areas of concern". Although the total no of full-time equivalent GPs from September 2020 onwards is higher than it has been, the no of qualified permanent GPs, excl GPs in training grade and locums, has been falling.
3/ While many people in the 2021 GP patient survey said they found it "easy" to get through to someone on the phone at their practice (68%), the CQC said it was told by patients about their "inability to make an appointment".
Today’s #StateOfCare report from @CareQualityComm assesses impact of the pandemic and the challenges for health/care integration. cqc.org.uk/publications/m…
Highlights issues CQC will need to focus on in its new ICS oversight role. Here’s a thread of what leaps out at me 🧵👇 1/15

2/15 Throughout #StateOfCare I can see signs of how closely @CareQualityComm has listened to what @RichmondGroup14 and other voluntary sector organisations have said consistently during the year. Also good to see insight from @ageukcampaigns @Rethink_ @RedCrossPolicy being used.
3/15 Strong message in #StateOfCare about unmet need (a key issue we’ve highlighted) and risk that failure to address social care workforce issues would turn ripple of knock-on effects into a “tsunami”. Good to see call for further discharge funding, noting role of VCSE here.

Meanwhile, Far Right intensify propaganda against testing & urge us all to trust in UK Gov experts & senior officials....who haven't even managed to ensure adequate supply of plastic pinafores, let alone proper PPE

The vile UK Far Right have been holding up Sweden's aggressive #HerdImmunity strategy as an exemplar
BUT Sweden's deaths are sadly coming home to roost
Norway, which has tested most & has strict lockdown, has much lower death rate

Most media coverage I've seen focused on A&E departments (see example below).
That's an important story (discussed below) but it doesn't feel radically new - we get a lot of data on A&E every month via @NHSEnglandStats /2

More people are going to A&E but that's largely been driven by attendances at minor injuries.
The bigger problem is the growth in emergency admissions, which suggests more patients with more severe or complex needs: health.org.uk/publications/e…

Buckle up for my annual thread. 1/11
2/11 #StateOfCare identifies the challenges faced by people with multiple needs and describes people and their families needing to chase services to get the right care. @RichmondGroup14 work on multiple conditions has also found people feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
3/11 #StateOfCare shares a story from @RichmondGroup14 member @age_uk that shows how people can sometimes be viewed by professionals with a narrow focus, especially outside obvious moments of transition.
A little thread I will call Plans, Plans, Plans. In the wake of @CareQualityComm #StateofCare I was asked onto @bbcsolent so I did some hasty research...
The @CareQualityComm had done one of its lical system reports on Hampshire/Isle of Wight and it lists the Plans that it was told about...
