@PathwayUK has called for this change for many years and are very pleased to have contributed to the thinking. See our paper for next steps on implentation👇 https://t.co/G20D7791Py Many thanks to @NHSEngland's health inequalities team, to Mary Hill & Cicely Ryder-Belson.

Recording of patient housing status drives: 🤕 Better understanding of the needs of patients facing homelessness 🏥 Better commissioning of services to meet people’s needs 🔦Greater accountability for services and outcomes

We warmly welcome the news that, for the first time, housing status has been included in @NHSEngland's Statement of Information on Health Inequalities, setting out what information Trusts and Integrated Care Boards should collect to meet their equalities duties.

✅ Saved the NHS £9m+ per year in avoided costs ✅ Freed up 13,000+ bed days for other patients by reducing readmissions @PathwayUK's hospital homelessness teams must be part of the solution for the cash-strapped NHS, and a central plank of the Gov’s drive to end homelessness.

In 2024/25, the specialist homelessness teams: ✅Helped 4,778 patients experiencing homelessness, a 41% increase on 23/24 ✅Reduced returns to rough sleeping by 62% and to sofa surfing by 33% ✅Registered 70% of patients with no prior access to primary care with accessible GPs

With funding re-established, we’re thrilled that HIT’s life changing work is continuing. Prioritising safe hospital discharge, the multidisciplinary team's highly skilled, person-centred approach has reduced the number of patients returning to rough sleeping by 60%.

Last week we had an excellent 2 days delivering inclusion health induction training for the brilliant St George University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust's Homelessness Inclusion Team (HIT), a specialist homelessness hospital team we support on our Pathway Partnership Programme.

We were delighted to have the opportunity to speak to the British Medical Association Board of Science meeting about the critical links between homelessness and health. The BMA's recognition of the life-threatening nature of homelessness is a major step forward.

This is relevant to all frontline homeless and inclusion health staff, but applications from London will be given priority. @PathwayUK @BurdettTrust @janeyecook @SchnellerKendra @CrystalOldman

Thanks to everyone who came and took part for your engagement and imagination. #HealthInequalities #Homelessness #NHS #Pathway # #

We’re proud of @PathwayUK's role in this important research and excited to see the outcome. Huge thanks Dr Briony Hudson, @carolineshulman, @InclusivePEoLC for making this happen. @flexiblefilms @mariecurieuk @UCLPsychiatry

Our volunteers' experiences of accessing the healthcare system have been captured in several short films, an important resource for the IMPROVE programme (Intervention to optiMise Palliative caRe for peOple with liVed Experience of homelessness).

Last week members of our lived experience team made a vital contribution to NIHR funded research led by @PathwayUK fellows Dr Briony Hudson, @carolineshulman and @InclusivePEoLC. The realist evaluation of IMPROVE will optimise palliative care for people experiencing homelessness.
