Standing Tall Foundation’s Post

Focussing on prevention is one of the key things we can do to improve people's health and wellbeing in Hampshire and Isle of Wight. Community classes like this falls prevention class in West End, run by Leonard Murungi from Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, can have a huge impact on people's mobility and confidence. #prevention #nhs

Despite successive governments repeating a vision of health and care services focused on communities rather than hospitals, that vision is very far from being achieved. The failure to grow and invest in primary and community health and care services ranks as one of the most significant and long-running failures of policy and implementation in the NHS and social care for more than 30 years. This is partly been due to a ‘cycle of invisibility’ for primary and community health and care services, where they are hard to quantify and easy to overlook, and hierarchies of care, with urgent problems taking priority over longer-term issues. This report from The King's Fund describes why it is not sufficient to selectively implement a few changes; the shift that is required is wholesale, including greater alignment between policy and vision, so that funding, regulation, workforce and performance policies match the intention of changing the focus of the health and care system towards primary and community health and care services.

Without proper tracking and reporting, critical health and safety issues often go unnoticed until they jeopardize essential funding, as shown by Abbott Terrace’s recent Medicare termination. This gap disrupts operations and puts vulnerable residents at risk, causing uncertainty and distress for communities relying on trusted, high-quality care. Mundaly offers tools designed to empower community programs to stay compliant and track impact in real-time, helping funders and implementers ensure that standards are met and that essential support remains secure.

𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒆 - 𝑪𝑸𝑪 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝑹𝒆𝒈𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 9𝑨 Visiting and accompanying in care homes, hospitals and hospices. This regulation, aimed at ensuring the rights of individuals receiving care, brings forth a fresh perspective on visits and accompaniment within healthcare settings. Here are a few of the regulation highlights: 👥 Inclusive Visitation: People staying in care homes, hospitals, or hospices now have the right to receive visits from those they wish to see, fostering connections and emotional support. 🚶♂️ Freedom of Movement: Residents in care homes are encouraged to take visits outside the facility without any discouragement, promoting independence and community engagement. 👫 Accompaniment for Appointments: Individuals attending hospital or hospice appointments, not requiring an overnight stay, can now be accompanied by a family member, friend, or advocate, ensuring comfort and reassurance during healthcare journeys. At Cornerstone Care, we are committed to upholding these rights and ensuring that every individual's needs and preferences are respected. We work closely with services to support residents, their families, and advocates to implement measures that guarantee safe and meaningful visits and accompaniment. Our team is dedicated to championing the principles of Regulation 9A and creating a welcoming space where everyone feels connected and supported. If you have any questions or concerns about the implementation of these regulations, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to listen, learn, and grow together as we continue to elevate the standard of care for our community. #CornerstoneCare #CQCRegulation9A #Healthcare #InclusiveCare #UKHealthcare 🌟 Further advice can be found on the CQC Regulation 9A webpage. https://lnkd.in/eEqbnzJt

Is the British Government Eroding Primary Care on Purpose? The Doctors’ Association UK has sent a new book written by its past co-chair, Dr Ellen Welch, to every Member of Parliament and to the chairs of NHS integrated care boards. The aim: putting general practice at the top of every manifesto in this 2024 election year. The book, Why Can't I See My GP – The past, present and future of general practice, published on 8 February, does not mince words. It outlines the current problems in general practice, how it has reached this point, and what needs to be done about it. #primarycare #healthpolicy #healthcare #familymedicine #communitycare #integratedcare https://lnkd.in/eyaG7yj7
