Each month’s performance statistics show poor performance continues to be an issue for the #NHS, with today’s likely to follow this trends. In his blog, Siva explores why Lord Darzi’s review is an opportunity for radical change rather than just tinkering. bit.ly/3TrG9LB

I am immensely proud that the NHS I work in is one of the most multi-ethnic and diverse organisations in the world.
NHS colleagues and emergency workers from many countries and faiths work around the clock to serve every UK community. You have my utmost appreciation and respect.

I’m proud that people from nearly 200 countries work in our NHS.
I completely condemn this racist violence and stand with our staff and the communities they live and work in. Thank you to our emergency services who are working hard to keep everyone safe.

🧵The failure to grow and invest in primary and community health and care services ranks among the most significant policy failures of the last 30 years. This #GeneralElection, what commitments have the 3 largest parties made on access to primary and community health care?

.@TheKingsFund CEO @swoolnough on #C4NHSdebate “We must embrace prevention… we’ve had stalling life expectancy for a decade in the U.K… health is more than the NHS… and we’ve seen an erosion of the services that support it”.

'None of the political parties, we feel, are really grasping the severity and just realising how challenged our system is...The public and patients understand the NHS is in severe difficulties. That's not flowing through to manifestos and election debate' @swoolnough
