Since 2021, we have completed a survey with Ipsos UK tracking the UK public’s views on the NHS and social care every six months. The latest survey took place just before the general election was called, at a time when NHS services remained under significant pressure, with progress on reducing the waiting list having stalled and no end in sight to long-running industrial action. With public satisfaction at a record low, the NHS was considered the biggest issue facing the country. But what was the public really thinking? Senior Strategy and Programme Manager, Genevieve Cameron and Assistant Director of Policy, Tim Gardner share five key findings from the survey results that the new government should know about as it sets out on its mission to fix the health service. The headlines: ➡️ The public have low expectations of the NHS for the year ahead. ➡️ The public’s top priorities for the NHS are addressing staff shortages and making it easier to access general practice. ➡️ The public’s concern about pressure on general practice has grown – and they think government is responsible for addressing this. ➡️ An increasing proportion of the public think the NHS often wastes money. ➡️ The public want to improve pay and conditions for the UK social care workforce rather than recruit from overseas.

NEW REPORT: Our new report finds that, while the UK is among the better-performing countries for people reporting access to same- or next-day GP appointments, it performs worse on getting a same-day answer to a medical query, accessing care outside normal hours, and patients feeling GPs spent enough time with them. Analysis of the 2023 The Commonwealth Fund survey suggests that the UK is not alone in the challenges it faces but the combined effect of the pandemic and below-average spending growth has left the NHS in a fragile state. The report looks at responses from more than 21,000 people, across 10 high-income countries. Participants were asked a series of questions related to their experience of health care services, including: ➡️ Access to and experiences of general practice ➡️ Care coordination ➡️ Experiences of hospital care ➡️ Emergency care ➡️ Cost-related barriers to health care services Read the full analysis from Data Analyst Estera Mendelsohn (nee Boncea), Policy Fellow Jake Beech, Assistant Director Josh Keith, and Assistant Directors of Policy Tim Gardner and Ruth Thorlby 👇 https://lnkd.in/ezbTihKy

BLOG: Why does productivity matter so much when looking at the challenges facing the NHS? Director of Data Analytics, Charles Tallack and REAL Centre Assistant Director, Elaine Kelly look at several complementary studies to help us understand what’s gone wrong for productivity growth in the NHS and where policy and action by the new government needs to be focused. They summarise five priority areas: ➡️ Investing in infrastructure and equipment. ➡️ Optimising use of AI and digital technology. ➡️ Improving operational processes and management for better flow. ➡️ Addressing workforce issues (such as skills gaps and staff morale). ➡️ Reforming incentives and targets, to guide productive use of resources.
