Nnenna Osuji and Graham Martin facing each other in conversation on a red sofa with the text “Why is speaking up so hard?” overlaid in between them.
Even with support systems in place, many NHS staff still feel unsafe or unheard when raising concerns about quality and safety. What will it take to change that?
Watch Nnenna Osuji & @instagraham.bsky.social as they unpack the barriers & explore what real change looks like: ths.im/3QnOoto

Martha Hall at Nuffield Trust Summit: "My dog Greg and I are now permanently housed in a home that meets our needs. A massive weight has been lifted, and I feel like I can breathe again."
Our closing session challenged us to rethink what living well at home really means.
For our #ntsummit panelist, Martha, her dog Greg made a huge difference. 🐕🦺
What’s holding back the “hospital to home” shift? 🏠
Tune in now for our panel of experts asking how housing can support — rather than obstruct — safe discharge from hospital, recovery and care at home.

Teun Toebes, a social science researcher in his 30s who lived in a specialist dementia care home for 3 years to describe the experience for residents including attitude to risk, autonomy, personalisation, self-defined quality of life
9:15am on Friday 6 March, join us for a session led by Teun Toebes, challenging us to reframe how we think about care and consider how a different narrative could help place dignity, possibility and human connection at the centre of reform. Register to watch via the link in our post.
▶️ Watch live now: Changing the narrative around care
Joined by our Deputy Director of Policy, @natashacurry.bsky.social, @teuntoebes.bsky.social reflects on how care is understood, and why more relationship‑centred approaches must be part of the conversation.

and #ntsummit
public understanding of social care (or its different rules, governance, funding, eligibility, rationing cf NHS) is very lacking & often people don't see the difference between this and NHS until they themselves have to use it
So need much better public information/debate/engagement
#ntsummit
Baroness Casey
The evidence from various reports and recommendations and research outputs only takes us so far with social care reform
In a democracy with a political/electoral cycle, we will not take things further without a major public engagement and conversation and public support
#ntsummit
Baroness Casey mentioning the ageist way that Dementia/Frailty gets labelled in effect as social problems not clinical diagnoses/medical problems and so get marginalised in funding/service priorities
Baroness Casey tells the Nuffield Trust Summit: "For all the reforms and reviews that we’ve seen, none of them have had the full political backing that was needed. Social care has never had its own creation moment. Instead we’ve inherited a system from a different age, without ever having the moment of reckoning that we now need." Watch our Zoom livestream and find the recordings via our YouTube channel.
Baroness Casey tells #ntsummit that a public mandate is needed for social care to finally get the action it needs.

Thea Stein at the Nuffield Trust Summit: "An NHS Chief Exec I spoke to said the most morally distressing things they did were to manage NHS money – but I couldn’t publish that as it would identify them. By the sixth one who said that, I knew it wouldn’t." Watch the livestream via the link in our post.

Refreshing to hear Thea Stein CEO of Nuffield Trust explicitly naming moral distress in senior healthcare leaders. There's something vulnerable & human in this which we dont often see. Thea emphasised the importance of emotional intelligence & the central importance of psychological safety #NTSummit

Thank you @policyskeptic.bsky.social for your reflections on our @hsmcentre.bsky.social & @thekingsfund.bsky.social paper on why NHS management matters so much. Hostility to management undermines a vital workforce, is short-sighted and plain wrong. @chrisham.bsky.social @suziebailey.bsky.social
Latest paper on locum doctors just out in Medical Education, on their involvement in CPD. In short, they miss out/are often excluded from learning opportunities, and its a problem. Lead author @janeferguson.bsky.social. Full paper at asmepublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
