❔ What were healthcare leaders reading in 2024? We've taken a look back at NHS Voices, our blog for and by healthcare leaders, to uncover the most-read blogs of 2024. Here's the top ten: 🔟 Great Ormond Street’s professor Neil Sebire and Rebecca Pope, Ph.D. (she/her) 🏳️🌈 from Roche Products Ltd shed light on how an innovative NHS and industry partnership is moving closer towards personalised healthcare for children, through better use of data. 9️⃣ Lorraine Mattis, chief executive of the University of Suffolk Dental CIC, argues that to address NHS dental care access and oral health inequalities, we must advocate for policies that facilitate integration among primary care providers. 8️⃣ If staff needs aren’t considered, the benefits outlined in NHS England’s Frontline Digitisation programme will be difficult to realise, argues John Llewellyn, chief digital and information officer at NHS Cheshire and Merseyside. 7️⃣ NHS leaders must be given the freedom and support to tackle performance challenges in their own areas, writes Professor Sir Chris Ham. 6️⃣ Dr Jane Padmore and Neil Blanchard tell all about a new agreement in Sussex that explores how NHS and VCSE sector will work together to meet mental health, learning disabilities and neurodiversity need. 5️⃣ Laura Boyd and Dr Matt Kearney suggest that current quality improvement methods may actually be damaging for patient outcomes. 4️⃣ Fergus Hamilton highlights the individual and societal benefits of employment for people with learning disabilities and autism. 3️⃣ Changing culture through a focus on values is the basis of work to address racism in Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, explains @Roisin Fallon-Williams. 2️⃣ Despite the incredible diversity of NHS staff as a whole, there is a distinct lack of diversity at higher levels. What is going wrong, ask Eric Pirozzoli and Fay Blackwood. 1️⃣ Patricia Miller, chief executive of NHS Dorset Integrated Care Board, questions whether the NHS can really root out racism from the service if it cannot confront the institutional racism that persists within it. 📖 Add NHS Voices to your 2025 reading list For thought leadership that sparks debate, shares learning and inspires new ways of working across the sector, head to NHS Voices.
