Futures’ Post

#Proud2bAdmin is crucial for administrative professionals as it acknowledges our essential role in healthcare delivery. This recognition fosters a sense of pride and validates our contributions, which are often behind-the-scenes but vital for the smooth operation of healthcare services. It highlights the importance of our work in supporting patient care and organizational efficiency, encouraging a more inclusive and appreciative workplace culture.#Proud2beAdmin#Spotmeinthepicture😁

An effectively managed flexible workforce programme has never been so important, but what does the future hold? With budget and productivity pressures, the collaboration agenda and an increasing preference from the next generation of workers for flexibility, how do we build a flexible workforce approach for the future? Join the discussion at Confed. See you there! #buildingbetterbanks

Our hard earned money is spent on over 2 billion 💷 worth of medication 💊 that are pointless and harm patients?. Taxpayer funded healthcare should deliver value not waste and increasing harm. Disinvest in waste and invest in #socialprescribing #linkworkers to support pts as per #overprescribing report Evidence here https://lnkd.in/gYmY6Hh4

People in #Devon need to be aware of this ➡️ Whether in her role as a GP, MP or more recently in chairing #NHS Devon, Sarah Wollaston has always struck me as someone committed to her principles and focused on supporting local people. If our local NHS services are at such a stage that the people charged with leading them are standing down from their roles because they simply cannot justify the choices they have to make then we are not in a good place. In Sarah's own word these choices are "only achievable with unacceptable consequences". That means the health and well-being of our local people and communities. We already know that austerity has made people less well and yet we're still pushing through financial 'savings' which are short term and short sighted. Owning my bias - young people in Devon have become less well at a dramatic rate over the last few years. More "savings" will have a negative impacts for years to come and will cost us more. Not just a rant - when people are canvassing on your doorsteps ask them what they're going to do. Not the platitudes, not the £350M lies but an actual plan. #youngpeople #youthwork (this includes #Plymouth and #Torbay as NHS Devon covers the whole patch)

Do read this Care Opinion Annual Review 2023-24 - there is much learning here for all who work in the NHS from compliments as well as complaints. And so good to see the excellent NHS Lothian figures: Subscription members: 321; Number of stories told: 482; Number of responses: 698; Response rate: 99.17%; Story reads: 56,695 timesandd Percentage of stories are entirely positive: 71% are positive. #nhs #complaints #compliments

🗣 Call to Action: The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, The Office of Medical Assistance Programs, The Bureau of Managed Care Operations Since you don't seem to respond to my correspondences, yet view my LinkedIn Profile frequently ( I have LinkedIn Premium- I see 👀 you!) I figured I would leave my next email to you all here 🙂 OMAP, is this how you see the contracted Managed Medicaid plans serving my daughter and others like her? Denial after denial. Appeal after appeal. Meeting after meeting. There are so many phone calls from the health plan, which ultimately provide nothing to my daughter, I want to flush my phone! Yes, a child like Malia requires #dme and services, which are "not standard." This should be expected, wouldn't you think? Also!! Dept of Human Services, when will you genuinely address our services or lack thereof? With a child like Malia, I'm sure you could see how "liability" is a constant conversation that comes up when providers are justifying why they are unwilling to provide her with a medically necessary medical device or service that other "less sick" patients can. Some recent examples could be when she needed an ultrasound— The mobile ultrasound company who services our area for both adults and pediatric patients is unwilling to provide their service to a pediatric patient like my daughter. Another example is the skilled nursing agencies in our community that offer their services to adults and pediatric patients for medaport care and maintenance in the home, who also have the same excuse for not extending their care to my daughter. Or LifeSharing #providers all a cross the state looking to expand their services but not to children like my daughter! How is this not a civil rights issue?! Do you even know this issue exists? Have you investigated why the current system is not working and why these #children are so often placed in facilities? I am only left to assume you do not because you refuse to connect with #families in the community. Gosh, I can't even get anyone from #OMAP to respond to an email! Children like my daughter are dying! If you have honest conversations with people in your communities, you will hear the stories of a child who once was. 🛑 Action Needed: Our family was hoping you could deliver on your mission for ALL Pennsylvanians. "Our mission is to assist Pennsylvanians in achieving safe, healthy, and productive lives while being an accountable steward of commonwealth resources. The #pennsylvania Department of Human Services' program offices administer services that provide care and support to Pennsylvania's most vulnerable individuals and families. ." https://lnkd.in/ew3sPRyJ. #complexcare #patientcare #patientadvocacy

🧵 Short Lives Can’t Wait ⏰ – a new report from Together for Short Lives has uncovered significant issues across children’s palliative care. Families with seriously ill children aren’t getting the children’s palliative and end-of-life care they need because of where they live. Care that is clearly set out in standards, guidance & law. Care that every single seriously ill child should have access to. In England the UK Government should fund work to expand the children’s palliative care workforce and ensure more children’s nurses are trained and educated so that they have the skills and experience to provide palliative care to children. The UK Government should also make sure that the NHS invests an additional £295 million in children’s palliative care in England every year to meet the funding gap for services. Together for Short Lives are calling on the UK’s governments, the NHS and others to act now, because time is short for seriously ill children and their families. They cannot wait any longer.
