May we remember and celebrate the lives of Barnaby Webber, Grace Kumar and Ian Coates. Nottingham lost three wonderful and cherished members of our community. My heart goes out to all who loved them. May they rest in peace.

People of working age who have a terminal illness are twice as likely to spend their final year of life in poverty. Paying them their pension would go some way to addressing this. Surely it’s a no brainer?! ⁦@Ashgate_Hospice⁩ ⁦@APCSW1⁩ theguardian.com/money/2023/j…

In Nottingham, and the rest of the country, much of this can be traced back to austerity politics. The impact of austerity on health has been enormous. My long-read investigating austerity and health in Nottingham here: bma.org.uk/news-and-opinion/…
A tale of one city

A tale of one city

The cost-of-living crisis is spiralling and Government ministers are proposing further spending cuts and pay restraint in a country which has already been through more than a decade of austerity....

Next to no savings means anxiety all the time. Alongside food insecurity and fuel poverty, the constant struggle to make ends meet damages mental and physical health. bbc.co.uk/news/business-6351…

A quarter of those asked in a survey had less than £100 in savings, exposing them to unexpected bills.

Why is there no national health & care workforce strategy? 42 individual integrated care systems, 219 Trusts & 400 councils are having to make up their own plan in a strategic vacuum. Shortage of health & social care staff is the biggest risk in the face of a demand perfect storm

With shortages in nearly every single medical specialty & burnt out doctors retiring early/going part time it is crazy to be CUTTING the number of medical places. Sadly what happens when you put £ into the NHS without a workforce strategy thetimes.co.uk/article/89b0d…
