An impressive prospectus but an inadequate plan.
Today marks the 77th year of the NHS! š. Thank you to all our incredible staff across the NHS for your continued hard work. From clerks to cooks, midwives to nurses, pharmacists to radiographers and many, many more ā itās our people who make us.

My experience is McKinsey focus mainly on defining the problem via data analysis and pay too little attention to the hard yards of how to act on the results of analysis. A challenge also for think tanks as their advice is sought by govt.
Dr Dash left the public sector for years to work for McKinsey who, along with other major consultancies have fleeced the NHS for Ā£billions of low value advice which is responsible for a lot of our problems. Deeply hypocritical.

Hereās a case study of how to shift care from hospitals to the community. How many of those involved in 10 year health plan are familiar with this work? @wesstreeting @so_says_sally @swoolnough .

Much to welcome, arguably too much, but can it be delivered? Funding remains tight and plan is light on the means of delivery. More clarity needed on the how and when it is meant to happen. Bad timing of organisational restructuring will be big obstacle.
This is the 10 Year Health Plan to make the NHS fit for the future, delivered through the three big shifts. It fundamentally reinvents our approach to healthcare so that we can guarantee the NHS will be there for all who need it for generations to come. ā”ļø

This will have ramifications across the NHS. Question in my mind is does buck stop with the trust board as a whole or with these āthree senior leadersā? @HSJEditor @danielelkeles.
Three senior leaders at Countess of Chester Hospital have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter prompted by the murder convictions of Lucy Letby, Cheshire Police has announced.

will this week's 10 year health plan incorporate these lessons from history of NHS reforms?. What can we learn about implementation from previous NHS reforms? via @nhsconfed.

Agree with view that moderating rising demand via prevention is essential but far from convinced that action with supermarkets is the best way of tackling. The soft drinks levy did work why not adapt learning from that? And maybe talk about the caring state not nanny state.
If everyone whoās obese cut c.200 calories from their daily diet - a bottle of Coke - weāll halve obesity. The government is working with supermarkets to make the healthy choice the easy choice, and rolling out obesity jabs on the NHS. Making the NHS sustainable for the future.

We partnered with Veterans Health Administration and Kaiser Permanente to adapt their learning about 25 years ago. Take home is that making these changes is more sociological than technological.
I was over in Amsterdam for HLTH Europe conference recently. I interviewed new NHS England chair Penny Dash on the main stage. given the NHS 10 year plan is out next week, here's some of what she had to say.

This. Industry self regulation doesnāt work. And whatās wrong with Nanny?.
šŖ @wesstreeting is leading the #HealthNation debate by spotlighting the devastating impact of obesity. A pivotal moment in UK health policy. This should be emblazoned on No.10ās front door:."The number one cause of sickness and disease today: obesity.".BUT. š§µ.

regulation of NHS managers must go hand in hand with less central direction, an end to a bullying culture, more consistent professional development, and focus on patients at all levels . NHS management reform: regulation is just the beginning

Another example of central budgets being raided to increase headline NHS growth? @davidjbuck @so_says_sally.
@Davewwest @davidjbuck @profchrisham @KateAlvanley @olliehart7 @wesstreeting It's from the SR figures. DHSC - NHSE = central DHSC. Central DHSC budget drops from Ā£6.9bn in 23-24 to Ā£5.9bn in 28-29. The %s are after applying GDP deflator.
