It was a pleasure to host another successful roundtable with partners from the adult social care sector to discuss neighbourhood health services. Shifting care into the community is a key part of our 10 Year Health Plan and we can only achieve this through close collaboration.

Important that we see the links between our health and our care, and the housing we live in. Having a life starts with where we want to live. Every decision about care is a decision about housing. @1adass @CQCpressoffice
The Health Foundation@HealthFdn7 Jan 2024
Health starts at home 🏠 It’s where many of the building blocks of life are put into place. But for some people, home makes them sick and isn't a safe environment. We're calling for a long-term strategy to ensure healthy homes for all. Read more ⬇️ health.org.uk/publications/l…

Moving to healthy homes

Failure to invest in housing quality is costing the economy, people and society. Here we set out why the Decent Homes Standard needs updating to support better health.

Eh? Today’s ⁦@thetimes⁩ leader showing yet again profound ignorance of the #socialcare sector - which is overwhelmingly ‘private’ and loses most nurses to higher pay in the NHS

Social care leaders survey shows carer burnout is increasing because they aren’t getting the support they need. We’re calling for more Govt funding for #carers support now and a funded long-term plan with carers at its heart.

Social care leaders survey shows 30% more care hours provided at home last year but to fewer people because earlier discharge from hospital means their health and support needs or 'care packages' are more complex.

New #socialcare leaders survey shows #care waiting lists fell last year & more care was provided to people at home. But without serious long-term investment, we won’t keep up with rising needs, staffing and financial challenges adass.org.uk/adult-social-ca…

On this day in 1948, HMS Windrush arrived, the same year our NHS was created. We owe a debt of gratitude to this generation of people who have contributed so much to health and social care over the last 75 years. Thank you!

Today we're recognising everything family and informal carers do to improve the mental health of the friends and family they care for. Without their support many would struggle even more. They are often the unsung heroes of social care. #mentalhealthawarenessweek2023

You will hear a lot about the NHS turning 75 this July. But modern social care also turns 75 this month. This blog from Simon looks at the original National Assistance Act and is the first of a social care blog series this month recognising social care very own 75th birthday…..
Simon Bottery@blimeysimon11 May 2023
Modern #socialcare was born 75 years ago this week with the National Assistance Act. The Act’s intentions and ambitions are progressive, but it has fundamental issues that we still have to live with. Here’s the blog and below is a quick thread on it. kingsfund.org.uk/blog/2023/0…

Why We Should Celebrate The Birth Of Social Care?

The 1948 National Assistance Act was the foundation of modern social care but also created issues that last to this day, says Simon Bottery, in the first of a series of blogs marking the event.
