As Ben Clover reports in HSJ this week, accident and emergency waiting time performance plummeted in April, and hospital leaders say they are grappling with the after-effects of “the worst winter anyone can remember”.
On Thursday we held a Twitter chat to discuss the implications of rising demand in emergency care. Will hospitals break under the pressure, what are the causes, and will the government step in?
Two large hospital trusts are scrapping their joint chair and CEO arrangement, HSJ can reveal.
An ambulance trust is warning that delays handing patients over to hospitals have “significantly deteriorated” in the past two months, with one waiting nearly 20 hours.
Moving care from hospital to community, implementing digital transformation, and shifting from treatment to prevention are the three shifts being led by NHS trusts to mitigate the challenges in how care is delivered, writes Emily Gibbons
An under-pressure integrated care system has been told it lacks “effective leadership” and is “too centralised and top-down” in a survey of partner organisations.
The large size of integrated care systems in the North East and Yorkshire region — and the ex-trust CEO leaders they attracted — has underpinned their relatively strong performance, a new report suggests.
The NHS England chair has announced he will step down in March after discussions with Wes Streeting.
