Workforce supply and demand is a key issue for the adult social care sector and in recent years workforce supply has experienced significant fluctuations due to policy changes and external factors.

To mark one year of progress since the launch of the BHF’s first equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) strategy, we have published a new interim report: Igniting Change, One Year On.

Caring is foundational to our society and our economy. Virtually everyone will give and receive care of some form over their lifetime, and everyone benefits from living in a world which is made more compassionate and more prosperous by the work of carers.

This report outlines key trends in adult social care in England.

The report is supported by a resource, A framework for addressing practical barriers to integration of VCSE sector organisations (NHS England 2023), which is available on the ‘Working in partnership with the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector’ workspace on the FutureNHS platform.

The Patients Association and the Patient Information Forum (PIF) worked with NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) to look at ways of making it easier for patients to take part in shared decision-making.

This report outlines an exciting vision of how we can reform the delivery of education to general practitioners, better preparing GPs for future practice in different models of care, addressing health inequalities and planetary health, and enhancing areas of clinical care such as mental health.

To address this aim, we developed a methodology that combines extensive and intensive research phases. In the extensive phase we build a broad picture of the GSP landscape in England. In the intensive phase we provide more granular insights into GSP focused on 6 deep dive locations across the country.

This year’s eleventh annual public health report reflects on the last year and focusses on how councils have responded to the rising cost of living.
