HMP Aylesbury: Leaders and staff driving improvements, but more to do Read the inspection report: hmiprisons.justiceinspectora… And the press notice: hmiprisons.justiceinspectora… See the healthy prison scores:
Bar chart visualising the healthy prison scores for HMP Aylesbury when it was inspected in 2022 and 2026. It shows that the scores for safety and respect had improved from not sufficiently good to reasonably good, the score for purposeful activity had improved from poor to not sufficiently good, and the score for preparation for release had remained not sufficiently good.

Earlier this week we published 'Hardly working out: barriers to physical education in prisons' which highlights the benefits of, and barriers to, exercise in prison. Find out more below and in the findings paper: hmiprisons.justiceinspectora…
Exercise in prison Benefits - Improves mental and physical well-being - Fosters good behaviour and relationships - Supports rehabilitation - Forms links with the community Barriers - Regime restrictions, activity clashes and poor access at weekends - Inadequate facilities - Staff shortages - Specific needs not always met, e.g. older or disabled prisoners

We're looking to fund research into improving access to, experience of, and outcomes from physical health services in prisons. If you're interested in this research funding opportunity, the recent CMO report, 'The health of people in prison, on probation and in the secure NHS estate in England', whilst independent from this funding opportunity, may provide useful context.

It's Day 10 of our #ResearchUnwrapped series! 🎁 An innovative AI-enabled stethoscope would enable doctors to pick up heart conditions in 15 seconds 🩺 The study, funded by NIHR, @TheBHF and @ImperialCharity and led by researchers at @imperialcollege and @ImperialNHS trialled the stethoscope with patients who showed symptoms of heart failure. It found that patients were: 🫀twice as likely to be diagnosed with heart failure 🫀about 3.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with atrial fibrillation - an abnormal heart rhythm which can increase the risk of having a stroke 🫀almost twice as likely to receive a diagnosis of heart valve disease - where 1 or more heart valves do not work properly The stethoscope could be a quick, simple tool to help GPs to spot problems earlier.
