Mashup Score: 2Public expenditure in the last year of life - 1 month(s) ago
Supporting people at the end of life is a crucially important element of public spending, yet there is remarkably little evidence available on how much money is being spent on it, and what that money goes on. The Nuffield Trust and the Health Economics Unit were commissioned by Marie Curie to estimate the range of public expenditure that supports the care of people in their last year, to help inform national and local funding decisions to improve services for people at the end of life.

Mashup Score: 3How could Britain and the EU work together to improve health? - 5 month(s) ago
Striking a somewhat different note from his predecessors, the Prime Minister recently pledged to “reset relationships” with the European Union. While the UK’s policy goals within this strengthened cooperation remain for now vague, there are several concrete measures in health and life sciences that could form part of an attempt to work more closely with the EU. In this long read, Mark Dayan, Tammy Hervey and Cyril Lobont argue that by focusing on the goal of improving health, it should be possible to build a moral, legal and political case for change.

Mashup Score: 21Fairer funding for general practice in England: what’s the problem, why is it so hard to fix, and what should the government do? - 5 month(s) ago
General practice funding is inequitable: the Carr-Hill formula, which decides the distribution of funding, is outdated and fails to take account of socioeconomic deprivation. This briefing, produced in collaboration with the Health Equity Evidence Centre, proposes replacing Carr-Hill with a modern, needs-based formula.

The number of people living with dementia in the UK is rising. Even if treatments can be developed quickly, the social care system needs to change in order to better support the growing numbers of people affected. This report sets out what the current challenges are with providing good social care for people with dementia, and makes recommendations about what needs to change to improve social care for people with dementia.

After the Chancellor argued last week that the answer for the health service isn’t just more money and that “it has to be about productivity”, Thea Stein takes a closer look at why the NHS productivity debate is so difficult and suggests some useful steps to take.

Mashup Score: 4AI and the NHS: is it the silver bullet that will improve the health service’s productivity? - 9 month(s) ago
There are continued hopes that artificial intelligence (AI) will help solve some of the NHS’s problems. In this guest blog, Dr Jessica Morley from Yale University says it is important that the optimism for the role of AI in the NHS comes with necessary realism, as she describes the three key considerations that must be taken into account before we get carried away with AI’s potential for the health service.

Mashup Score: 12Will it ever be possible to look out, not up? Learning from past reviews of local and national NHS relationships - 10 month(s) ago
The upcoming review into integrated care systems will not in any way be the first time that the relationship between national organisations and local NHS trusts and commissioners has been assessed. Helen Buckingham considers the lessons that need to be learned from the past, and suggests some important questions that the review may want to think about.

Mashup Score: 4Is French-style health care the answer? Why we should stop idealising other health systems - 11 month(s) ago
With debates ahead of the general election hotting up, it’s perhaps unsurprising we’ve already heard that how the NHS is funded is one reason why it has problems, and that a move to a social insurance model like in France would be better. Sarah Reed says it’s time to stop idealising other countries’ health systems and argues that how much is invested in health is likely to matter more than the funding model.
