Been hanging out with these small humans for a while but they are not very up to speed on health and social care policy. Any recommendations of things to read to catch me up as I foray back into the world of work??

Excess deaths in the United Kingdom from January 2020 to June 2021 were higher than in most West European and high-income countries except for Spain, Portugal, Italy and the United States. Here we examine the latest statistics from @OECD:

'Imagine, if one patient from the waiting list walks into an NHS hospital every minute of every day (24 hours a day), then it would take 11 years for them all to enter the building, or 25 years if the list reaches 13 million.' @WardDeborahJ

So much to digest in the Health at a Glance data published by @OECD_Stat this week. Striking to see how quickly life expectancy has fallen in some countries during the pandemic. More from Veena Rayleigh here: kingsfund.org.uk/blog/2021/1…

NHS waiting lists soared during the pandemic with 1.5m more people now waiting for treatment, and as hospitals try to work through the backlog, there’s incredibly little headroom in the system.

Stark numbers in latest hospital stats. It's easy to normalise bad, but these numbers should be ringing alarm bells - the weather is still mild and flu + noro haven't fully taken off yet.

Musing on big numbers in my latest blog for @TheKingsFund. Imagine a line with 1,000 at one end and 1 billion at the other end, where does 1 million go on the scale?

Great to see this topic coming up the agenda. Often overlooked but so important for patients. Bet everybody you know has personal experience of this.
