'It is no exaggeration to say that this winter has probably been the most difficult ever faced by the NHS' ✍ NicolaSturgeon
Service have dominated the news so far this year, and it is no exaggeration to say that this winter has probably been the most difficult ever faced by the NHS.
All of this comes on top of more long-standing challenges – in themselves positive developments – such as people living longer and ever-increasing expectations of what modern healthcare can Some of the solutions to these challenges involve continued long-term reform to patient pathways and models of care – all within a universal, publicly owned NHS, free at the point of need – and so will take time.
While there is no room for complacency, all of this is welcome and I am cautiously optimistic it is a sign that the recent period of very extreme pressure is now coming to an end. And there is much good work being done – for example, the Scottish Ambulance Service ‘See & Treat’ initiative is helping care for more patients at the scene so they don’t have to go to hospital. NHS24 – which is recruiting additional staff – also provides a range of advice and care that is helping reduce attendance at and admission to hospital.
These measures will help address some of the key issues across the health and social care systems – easing delayed discharge by purchasing additional care beds for those who are fit to leave hospital, and ensuring additional and adequate resource is in place for NHS 24 to provide advice and care for people without the need for them to go to other parts of the NHS.
Professor Anna Glasier, who has had a long and distinguished career in women’s reproductive health, will work with partners in the NHS and across the public and third sectors to drive improvements in specialist menopause services, menstrual heath, including endometriosis, and heart health.
