Shocking news from @TheBHF people are dying more than twice as quickly before the age of 75 from heart disease in the poorest parts of England. Without urgent action, the heart health gap between the richest and poorest will continue to grow... bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/news-f… #HeartsNeedMore

It’s Monday! Think of all we can change in our organisations & systems without waiting for “guidance”
- seek out the rebel alliance
- give our teams permission to innovate
- say you have their back
- listen to communities; what do they think?
- stop doing things that don’t work
Sarah Smith retweeted
Yes 🙌 a radical redesign of the NHS, a new social contract with citizens is definitely needed but what stops us doing it now? Are we waiting for guidance from NHSE? Therein lies the problem. Let’s look outwards to communities not upward for rules. ICSs could do this on Monday!
"Given the public support for the principles of the NHS, perhaps more radical ideas for improving the NHS can come from outside."
We should embrace the power of citizens and society to restore public confidence in the #NHS, @jessiecunnett @Richard56

Tomorrow is World Kidney Day
What are you doing to get involved?
In the UK, 50 people with CKD end up with kidney failure and approximately 3.25 million people in 2023 are living with CKD stages 3 (mild/moderate CKD) to stage 5 (kidney failure).

Really great blog by Beth Kirby telling us about the great work she and the team are doing around inclusion health. Also great to hear from Ali Bishop about the EDI plans for WYICB. Worth a quick read.

Thanks to West Yorkshire (ICB) we are able to continue supporting our members with the help they need as the need for support is growing everyday.
We now have a team of four mental health workers but there is so much more that needs to be done so no one has to struggle alone.
