Disappointing from @aliceTTimes! Full of misapprehension, if not misinformation. 1. The ask has ALWAYS been full pay restoration. Doctors are not worth 30% less than they were in 2008. 1/ thetimes.com/comment/columni…

Virtual wards for acute #heartfailure are the aim from @NHSEngland Are they safe? Are HF teams embedded in patient pathways? What are the barriers for care closer to home? Complex comorbidity and social care are significant challenges @uclh, but #teamwork works! #BSHAM25

Each year, 40–60k people in England are diagnosed with high-risk heart failure. Current waits of 7–8 weeks for echo mean 13% are hospitalised before review. A 2-week pathway could cut this to under 5%, avoiding thousands of admissions and saving trusts and ICBs millions in costs and bed days. St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, with NHS England, is seeking 5 additional pilot sites to fast-track adoption of the 2- and 6-week HF pathways by March 2026. Funding of up to £40k is available, with support from NHS-approved transformation teams and HF clinical leaders. For interested the sites, the EOI online form (forms.office.com/Pages/Respo…) needs to be submitted by close of business Friday October 17th 2025. For more information or to submit an EOI please contact stefanie.dimov1@nhs.net
