🌍 Governments and researchers around the globe are being called upon to strengthen and accelerate preparations for the next pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO). WHO—alongside the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations—are emphasising the importance of expanding research to include entire families of pathogens than can infect humans, as well as focusing on individual pathogens. In a report released at this year’s Global Pandemic Preparedness Summit in Brazil, WHO urges countries to adopt a wider approach. This ultimately aims to create broadly applicable knowledge, tools and countermeasures that can be quickly adapted to emerging threats.

⚡️ Involving community healthcare staff in the development and implementation of digital technology can be the key to unlocking the new government’s ambition of a Neighbourhood #Health Service and moving care closer to home, according to a new report from The King’s Fund. Furthering the digital transformation agenda in general practice, pharmacies, community trusts, and care providers can help: ➡️ reduce the number of patients accessing over-burdened hospitals; ➡️ improve patient experience and outcomes; and ➡️ people with ongoing care needs to live independent lives. However, the report says that the current use of technology in community care mirrors the silos in the wider system, which is frustrating patients.

🚨 New research shows that a series of public #health interventions that help reduce the risk of dementia could help save England as much as £4bn by reducing dementia diagnoses and supporting people to live longer lives. In the study—which was published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity—researchers estimated the impact of the measures on dementia rates and related cost, including gains to quality adjusted life years (QALY). The steps taken include: 🧂 reducing sugar and salt in food production; 🌲 introducing low emission zones; and 🍺 minimum alcohol unit pricing.

🚨 In what the government has described as an “emergency measure”, changes to the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme are set to open the door for the recruitment of over 1,000 GPs, the Department of #Health and Social Care has confirmed. The news comes at the same time as the British Medical Association votes firmly in favour of collective action in opposition to the 2024/25 GP contract.

⏰ More than half (56%) of England’s GP practices took part in research during 2023/24, according to new data from the National Institute for Health and Care #Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Network (CRN). 📈 The number of GP practices that participated in research — 3,606 — equates to a 12% increase from 2022/23. Around one in four people (26%) who were involved in NIHR CRN-led research were recruited from primary care, which is more than 270,000 people. Over one million people took part in #health and care research studies in England during 2023/24 — this is over 90,000 more than the previous year and the equivalent of a 10% jump. Ultimately, more than 5.4 million people have been recruited to NIHR CRN-supported research in the last five years in England.

🟢 In what will be another huge stride towards sustainability targets, Manchester University #NHS Foundation Trust’s (MFT) Trafford General Hospital is set to become the first retrofitted carbon net zero inpatient hospital in the UK thanks to £18.9m of Public Sector #Decarbonisation Scheme funding. 🦖 Approximately £10m will be used to revamp the hospital’s energy infrastructure, which is thought to be more than 50 years old. Effectively ending the hospital’s reliance on fossil fuel natural gas, MFT leaders will invest in modern low-carbon air and water source heat pump systems. 🥇 The move represents the first time an existing NHS hospital has upgraded its entire energy system to completely decarbonise energy at the inpatient site.

🔊 Listen to the latest news bulletin from National #Health Executive ⬇️ 🚨 Widespread support for AI within #NHS & public, polling suggests 🚨 London Ambulance Service named apprenticeship trailblazer 🚨 Royal College of Physicians moves to ensure safe practice of physician associates For more details on all our stories, check out https://www.nationalhealthexecutive.com/ The Health Foundation #AI #artificialintelligence #digitalhealth London Ambulance Service NHS Trust Department for Education #NHSworkforce #Apprenticeships #london Royal College of Physicians #physicianassociates #patientsafety

⏰ New polling from the #Health Foundation shows that, while there is concrete support for artificial intelligence (AI) in the NHS, there are still some issues that need to be addressed before the health and care sector can make serious progress with its adoption of AI. To better understand both public and #NHS attitudes surrounding AI, the think tank surveyed 7,201 members of the public and 1,292 health service staff. They found that: ➡️ more than half (54%) of the public support the use of AI in patient care; ➡️ three in four (76%) NHS staff support the use of AI in patient care; ➡️ three in five (61%) members of the public support the use of AI for administration; and ➡️ four in five (81%) NHS staff support the use of AI for administration.

🚨 New draft national guidance is set to be shared on safe and effective practice for physician associates (PAs) by the Royal College of Physicians (RCP), as it also announces the establishment of a new oversight group for its work related to PAs. The new draft guidance will be shared with more than 20 national stakeholders this week — the consultation will include the UK and devolved governments, the NHS, the British Medical Association, the General Medical Council (GMC), and the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges. The guidance covers good practice for employing and supervising PAs, while reiterating the RCP’s position that they are not doctors, should not replace doctors on rotas, and any prescribing matter should be referred to a fully registered prescriber.

💷 New chancellor of the exchequer Rachel Reeves has announced that strike action could be set to end after the government reached an agreement with the British Medical Association (BMA) to put a new pay offer forward to junior doctors. The new offer consists of an extra 4.05% for the 2023/24 pay year on top of the previously awarded 8.8% — this will be backdated to April 2023. The government has also accepted the recommendations from the Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration (DDRB) for 2024/25, which works out as an average increase of more than 8% — this will be backdated to April 2024. Other commitments from the government include: ➡️ streamlining the way junior doctors report when they have worked extra hours; ➡️ reforming the current system of junior doctor training and rotational placements; ➡️ changing the name of ‘junior doctors’ to ‘resident doctors’ from September; and ➡️ asking the DDRB to consider in its annual recommendations the overall reward package and career progression for junior doctors.

🚨 The National Institute for #Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has confirmed it will not recommend trastuzumab deruxtecan — otherwise known as Enhertu — as a treatment for the NHS, following a failure to agree a cost effective price with industry partners Daiichi Sankyo and AstraZeneca. Enhertu is the first breast cancer medicine NICE has chosen to not recommend in six years, breaking a line of 21 straight positive decisions. NICE’s medicines evaluation director, Helen Knight, said: “NICE and #NHS England offered as much flexibility as possible, but the companies did not put forward a new price, so we have no choice but to publish our final decision which is not to recommend the medicine in this group of patients.” Read more ⬇️ https://www.nationalhealthexecutive.com/articles/enhertu-breast-cancer-drug-rejected-nice-after-industry-talks-break-down-again?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=social_share 📢 National Institute for Health and Care Excellence #Cancer #BreastCancer #Enhertu #Pharma
