With Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists | RCOG and ten other leading women's health organisations, we are responding to the Department of Health and Social Care NHS England national conversation on 'Change the NHS' and creating the 10 year NHS plan. We know at Eve that when it comes to women's health, change a step-change is needed. Despite making up 51% of the UK population, women's health is left to fall through numerous gaps in policy, health pathways, workforce and services. The case for investing in gynaecological health is clear. This means investing in medical research, investing in early diagnosis and prevention and championing new services which all benefit and reach those who need it most. In every community and to address health inequities and inequalities. Please make your voice heard and respond to the consultation. Go to https://lnkd.in/e2YGs7g6

According to new research from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2021, caesarean section use continues to rise globally, accounting for more than 1 in 5 (21%) of all childbirths. This number is set to continue increasing over the coming decade, with nearly a third (29%) of all births likely to take place by caesarean section by 2030, the research finds. Causes of high caesarean section usage vary widely between and within countries but drivers include; 👇 ✔️ health sector policies and financing ✔️ cultural norms ✔️ perceptions and practices ✔️ rates of preterm births ✔️ quality of healthcare. WHO recommends some non-clinical actions that can reduce medically unnecessary use of caesarean sections, within the overall context of high quality and respectful care forexample; ✔️ Educational interventions that engage women actively in planning for their birth such as childbirth preparation workshops, relaxation programmed and psychosocial support where desired, for those with fear of pain or anxiety. Implementation of such initiatives should include ongoing monitoring and evaluation. Its interesting, how something we're trying to at C-Her Foundation. ✔️ Use of evidence-based clinical guidelines, performing regular audits of caesarean section practices in health facilities, and providing timely feedback to health professionals about the findings.

As always New Local has the right idea. However, will those in power allow this to happen. This is the question. As someone determined about community power, too often those with singular decision making power vito such ideas. We first have to fight and overthrow centralised governance and decision making to allow these wonderful ideas to flourish. #decentralisation #communitypower
"Too many people end up in hospital because too little is spent in the community." Lord Darzi puts our catastrophic health trade-off in blunt terms in his NHS review. But what would a community-powered NHS look like? And where is it happening? Take a look: https://lnkd.in/eczPfzGa

It’s crucial that we consolidate our efforts to address this pressing public health issue. In my recent paper, I emphasize the importance of integrating rehabilitation into health systems. We explore the ongoing efforts, potential challenges, and strategies for effective integration. Health policy and systems research (HPSR) can play a vital role in overcoming these barriers, promoting collaboration among different actors, and addressing social determinants of health. The World Health Assembly has issued a global call to prioritize rehabilitation, and it’s imperative for national governments and the global health community to invest in this agenda. By making context-specific knowledge accessible, especially in low- and middle-income countries, we can better implement rehabilitation services and work towards achieving universal health coverage and the Sustainable Development Goals. Let’s advocate for a health system that truly meets the needs of all individuals requiring rehabilitation. #HealthSystems #Rehabilitation #PublicHealth #UniversalHealthCoverage #SustainableDevelopmentGoals

Very proud to be part of this publication. "The COVID-19 pandemic had a disproportionate impact on ethnically minoritised and other marginalised communities, yet little is known about the impacts of long COVID-19 (LC) on this group. Living with LC takes its toll both physically, emotionally and financially and even more so when a diagnosis is hard to come by. By using qualitative interviews centring the view of undiagnosed and marginalised communities already classed as ‘underserved’ in the medical literature, we show the range of barriers and impacts faced by these groups in the UK, and the strategies of resilience they use. Whether trapped on a ‘diagnostic odyssey’ at the level of primary care, struggling to maintain employment and businesses, or managing family commitments, we argue many minoritised communities are caught in a liminal space of misrecognition, invalidation and ambiguity. We show how these impacts are generated by tensions and challenges in the process and categorisation of diagnosis, and how this effects the daily lives of many individuals already on the receiving end of health inequity. We also offer some examples and suggestions for best practices." https://lnkd.in/eYxPmqUz

Empathy, listening, inclusivity and engagement are all skills required to drive the much-needed behaviour change surrounding complex conditions like obesity. Life is a challenge for many individuals. Without understanding those challenges, how can we help? That old saying, ‘You don’t know what you don’t know’ springs to mind. What’s important is constantly being open to expanding our knowledge and new ways of learning so that we’re better able to benefit patients living with misunderstood conditions. It’s something I’ve been thinking about over on my latest blog post below. What else do you think we need to see more of in how we approach conditions where there is no straightforward answer? #MedicalEducation #HCPEngagement #HCPEducation #PatientAdvocacy
🚨 The cost of obesity to the NHS? Around £6.5 billion a year. 🚨 With nearly a quarter of all adults and children affected, it's clear that something needs to change. But when it comes to addressing complex public health challenges like obesity, solutions are rarely straightforward. At Onyx Health, we believe that real progress comes through empathy, engagement and collaboration. In her latest article, our Head of Medical Education, Sarah Seilly, explains why tackling obesity requires listening to patients, equipping healthcare professionals with the right tools and breaking down stigma. You can check it out over on our blog. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ehYZ3XjC #HealthcareCommunications #MedicalEducation #HCPEngagement

Health care faces complex challenges, from rising hospital-acquired infections to maternal mortality. Implementing quality improvement efforts is critical for addressing these issues. This article outlines key strategies healthcare leaders can use to build a framework for effective quality improvements. Drawing on insights from Dr. M. Rashad Massoud, a Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health expert, the article highlights practical steps leaders can take, including defining measurable goals, focusing on process consistency, and using the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle to implement changes effectively. Read more to explore how healthcare leaders can enhance patient outcomes and reduce costs through quality improvement strategies: https://lnkd.in/gDzQJAmG #HealthcareLeadership #QualityImprovement #PatientCare #PublicHealth

Key findings from Lord Darzi’s report on the state of the NHS: 🔹Over the past 15 years, the nation’s health has deteriorated, with a significant rise in the number of people living with multiple long-term conditions. 🔹NHS spending is disproportionately focused on hospitals, with insufficient investment in community care, resulting in low productivity. 🔹Waiting times have surged, with A&E queues more than doubling since 2009, and 1 in 10 patients now waiting over 12 hours. 🔹The UK faces higher cancer mortality rates than other countries, with no improvement in early diagnosis from 2013 to 2021. 🔹The 2012 Health and Social Care Act (Lansley Reforms) caused lasting harm to NHS management, and despite efforts, productivity remains low, particularly in hospitals. 🖥️ Link to the report: https://lnkd.in/eFNcNubb #NHS #Darzi #Review #Productivity #Health
