🎊NEW POLICY IMPACT🎊
Thrilled to see the govt is planning to introduce a new medical specialty, the expert generalist hospital dr, in its upcoming NHS Workforce Plan!
This was a key rec in Re:State's 'Ending the patient gridlock' report.

Excitingly, @restate_thinks's Devo Next Initiative published its design principles for fiscal devolution today!
With the Chancellor's commitment to delivering fiscal devo, this couldn't be more timely

🚨 NEW FROM THE DEVO NEXT INITIATIVE 🚨
The Chancellor’s commitment to develop a fiscal devolution roadmap represents a significant opportunity.

Today @LabourGrowth – the biggest backbench caucus in Parliament – published a 'An Honest Day', laying out a new economic and social settlement, drawing on lots of @restate_thinks ideas!
As a think tank, we want our ideas to be picked up and have impact. Today, they have📈
It looks like leaders in the Labour Party are going to spend the next few months on the hunt for new ideas. So it’s great to see so many of our own reflected in this @labourgrowth paper out today, where the Group’s leaders set out their stall for a future economy.
From Everythingism to better procurement, political appointments, and regulatory reform, it’s always fantastic to see that @restate_thinks’ ideas have so much traction across different parties.

The way we currently fund adult social care is morally indefensible and will bankrupt us. @ce_pickles puts it better than I could👇

The third rail of British politics: social care
The utter failure of successive govs to act is a stain on our political class
The most recent 'consensus', Dilnot, hasn't been implemented because its the not the answer - its not affordable & fails to address fairness

England's current model of funding adult social care leaves many people facing unmanageable costs, and has resulted in soaring unmet need, estimated at over 3.5 million adults.
In 'Beyond Caring', we propose a new funding model, offering far more generous personal protections.

Thrilled to share @stkaye and my new report, proposing a radical overhaul of the funding model for later-life social care!
We know the current system is failing at every turn... we've known this for a while. Tweaks and sticking plasters won't work. But this will. Check it out👇

📢NEW RESEARCH: ‘Beyond caring’📢
England’s later life social care funding model is on the brink of collapse.
The system is unfair and unsustainable.
Our new report makes the case for a radically different model: a prefunded system with a 'triple guarantee' of protections.

The PM is announcing the government is setting up a virtual hospital
This is game changing - & we exclusively called for it in our paper paper out a few months ago: 'Hospital as a service, not a building'
Huge win for @BeaconRosie & @AliceKSemark

You might be surprised to know there's no easy way for drs in different NHS orgs to communicate with each other... I certainly was!
The 10 Year Plan talks a big game on shifting care into the community, but this won't be poss without communication💻

💡Thrilled to see the 10 Year Plan embrace virtual hospitals, a new idea from our 'Hospital as a Service' paper
A fantastic step, but the NHS must go further. Remote General Hospitals, a true world-first, would make fully remote A&E, outpatients & long-term care🏥

1/ It is very exciting to see the prospect of virtual hospitals in the 10 Year Plan - we unpacked this idea extensively in our recent paper 'Hospital as a service, not a building'
Quick thread on what this proposal could look like & why it's essential for the modern hospital 👇

The hospital of the future isn’t a building, it’s a service.
Too many patients are being treated in hospitals who don’t need to be – this is bad for patients and the public purse!
This graph, from our new report, shows how few patients need treatment in a hospital building.

🚨New paper out today! 🚨
How do you provide hospital care without ever going near the four walls of a hospital building?
🏥 Remote General Hospitals
💸 Paying GPs the same as hospitals to deliver more elective care
👨⚕️ Virtual wards
Alongside much more. Read below ⬇️

🚨NEW REPORT🚨
It's no secret hospitals are at breaking point. A radical rethink is desperately needed.
Our 21 recs outline a new vision – emphasising virtual care, communication tech and care pathway redesign.
Read our new report for our big ideas👇
22 May 2025
'Hospital as a service, not a building' is based on the idea that physical hospitals exist only for the most complex, riskiest patients.
Everyone else should be able to access specialist expertise & care from the comfort of their own home or GP surgery.
So how to do this? 🧵

🧠ADHD is widely misunderstood — shrouded in myths, dismissed as a "fad," and often ignored by policymakers.
Yet it's linked to socioeconomic issues, numerous health issues and lower life expectancy.
If Gov is serious about its prevention shift, it must act!

In many policy areas, prevention is key. This benefits individuals, society, the economy, public finances and public services.
But the tricky bit is how...
This is why @reformthinktank, with Newton, are launching an exciting new programme, 'Building the preventative state'.

Today we are excited to launch our new programme, "Building the preventative state", in partnership with Newton.
