After a decade of tight funding settlements and the Covid-19 pandemic, Wes Streeting is the latest health secretary trying to improve NHS productivity. But what can the government do to ensure the NHS spends its budget – due to be more than £200bn in 2025/26 – more effectively? This event, held in partnership with the Health Foundation, explored what the NHS can do to improve productivity – which is vital to improve the quality of services for patients, ensure the NHS is financially sustainable and provide value for money for taxpayers. What improvements in productivity and health outcomes can technology really deliver? What lessons are there from previous governments' attempts to make efficiency savings? What options does Streeting really have to drive through reforms? What effect – if any – will the abolition of NHS England and cuts to integrated care boards' budgets have on driving productivity to improve performance? To discuss these questions and more, we were joined by an expert panel including: Helen Buckingham, Chair of Trustees at National Voices Anita Charlesworth, Senior Economic Advisor at the Health Foundation Caroline Clarke, Regional Director of the NHS in London Rachel Sylvester, Political Editor at the Observer The event was chaired by Nick Davies, Programme Director at the Institute for Government. This event was held in partnership with The Health Foundation.

June is Men's Health Month. While it's important to do your best to eat right and stay active, there's a side to men's health that is often overlooked: mental health. Kenton Boston, president & CEO of the Canadian Men's Health Foundation, and psychologist Robert Selles, join Evan to discuss a new campaign aimed at helping men suffering in silence know they're not alone.

8.2 million working-age people report having a long-term health condition that limits their ability to work. 1.7 million say that work itself is making them ill or creating challenges. In addition to causing personal hardships, this decline in working-age health is causing concern among employers, politicians and policymakers.  With the benefits bill rising, government has set its sights on wide-ranging welfare reforms, including significant changes to health and disability benefits. Are these reforms likely to incentivise and support people back into work? And how can the system intervene earlier and support employers to provide people with the flexibility they need to stay in work in the first place?  To discuss, our Chief Executive Jennifer Dixon is joined by: Jon Ashworth, Chief Executive of Labour Together and former shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and for Work and Pensions.

Please make sure to click the 'Follow' the show - It Really helps the show, Thanks!Adventure doesn't always require plane tickets and summit selfies. Sometimes it starts with a ferry, a friend, and the commitment to pass on what you've learned. In this episode, adventurer, author, and advocate Lauren Roerick shares what happens when you stay local, go slow, and share the wild with someone new.LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE HERE Lauren's call to adventure isn't about solo quests or exotic destinations. It's about mentorship and proximity. When she took a friend on her first backpacking trip along British Columbia's Juan de Fuca Trail, it became more than a hike—it was a lesson in resilience, gear, and joyful struggle. Sharing what you know, she reminds us, is one of the most powerful things you can do in the outdoors.And when it comes to her pay-it-forward, Lauren speaks from the heart: Women's health—especially issues like period poverty—are historically underfunded and misunderstood. Through regular donations to the BC Women's Health Foundation and Canadian Women's Health Foundation, and by supporting projects that deliver menstrual products to underserved communities, Lauren advocates for dignity, access, and equality—values that extend far beyond the trail. Your adventure doesn't need to be far. It needs to be shared. Look around. Invite someone in. And while you're at it, consider the quiet, ongoing battles many face just to get outside—especially those affected by health inequality. As Lauren puts it, “Period poverty doesn't just affect school and work—it can affect your ability to adventure, too.”Resources & Guest Links:Lauren RoerickWebsite: laurenroerick.comInstagram: @laurenroerickYouTube: @laurenroerickTikTok: @laurenexploresReferenced Charities:BC Women's Health FoundationCanadian Women's Health FoundationTrail Mentioned:Juan de Fuca Trail – BC ParksSend us a textSupport the showThanks For Listening.If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a comment and subscribe for more exciting content.

Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet is president and CEO of Truth for Health Foundation. Since February 2020, she has been part of the team of frontline physicians treating COVID early at home. With Dr. Peter McCullough, she is a co-author/editor of the Guide to COVID Early Treatment: Options to Stay Out of Hospital and Save Your Life. Jim noted that today Senator Ron Johnson held a hearing and released 2,400 pages of records detailing the failure of federal health agencies, under the Biden administration, to properly warn the public about the risk of myocarditis-related heart inflammation conditions following the mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations. Dr. Vliet responded by indicating how unconscionable it was that our taxpayer dollars were going to federal agencies that were lying to us and allowing people to die as a result of their push of this experimental, gene-therapy shot. This is the first salvo in a program that looks at other troubling news coming forth concerning the COVID-19 shots. For example, Dr. Vliet commented on the following: A peer reviewed study in Pediatric Rheumatology indicates that children and adolescents who received at least one COVID-19 shot had a 23% higher risk of developing autoimmune disease compared to unvaccinated children. Scientists at Johns Hopkins University confirm that COVID vaccines are reducing human population by lowering birth rates. A senior medical advisor at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, who is also a world-renowned virologist, is warning that the mRNA vaccines are a dangerous experiment as he raises alarms about the presence of the cancer-causing SV-40 enhancer in the injections.

This week the podcast looks at another of those knotty, seemingly intractable issues sat on Labour's in-tray when they entered government last year; namely social care.To look at how successive administrations have failed to grasp the nettle and deal with the rising costs of a sector that has ballooned in size to deal with our ageing population, host Alain Tolhurst is joined on the panel by Paulette Hamilton, Labour MP and the acting chair of the health and social care select committee, as well as Joe Robertson, Tory MP for the Isle of Wight who also sits on the select committee.Alongside them are Lucinda Allen, policy fellow in social care at The Health Foundation, and Will Dalton, national officer for care at the GMB union, to discuss Andrew Dilnot's infamous unimplemented review, Theresa May's election-losing dementia tax, and what Keir Starmer's government is doing to take on the care crisis.They argue whether the latest review is another exercise in kicking the can down the road, and what impact this week's immigration white paper will have on the sector's massive vacancy issues, while later on in the episode Joe Dromey from the Fabian Society talks about the think tank's proposals for dealing with pay and recruitment.To sign up for our newsletters click herePresented by Alain Tolhurst, produced by Nick Hilton and edited by Ewan Cameron for Podot

It's been two months since the government first announced its plans to enact the largest welfare reforms for a generation, aiming 'to help sick and disabled people who can and have the potential to work into jobs'. Since then, there has been considerable debate about the consequences of these reforms. But why does the government want to implement reforms in the first place? How does the current system work? And what could the impact be for those receiving these benefits?In this episode, Helen is joined by Tom Waters, Associate Director at IFS, and David Finch, Assistant Director at the Health Foundation, to unpack the government's proposals and explore what they mean for the future of health-related benefits.Become a member: https://ifs.org.uk/individual-membershipFind out more: https://ifs.org.uk/podcasts-explainers-and-calculators/podcasts Hosted on Acast.

‘Today we are abolishing the biggest quango in the world,' – Wes Streeting, 13 March 2025  Many people were surprised by the government's decision to abolish NHS England and fold its functions into the Department of Health and Social Care. Not least Richard Meddings, Chair of NHS England since 2022. Having formally completed his term in March, Richard joins our Chief Executive Jennifer Dixon to discuss.  In a wide-ranging conversation, Richard reflects on his time at NHS England and how the organisation has changed. With the NHS facing growing demand for care, and continuing to top the public's list of priorities, where does the forthcoming 10-year health plan need to focus? How should ministers lead the service in the future? And what needs to happen to ensure the NHS reaches its 100th year? Show notes The Health Foundation (2020). Glaziers and window breakers.

It's 2 years since Keir Starmer first set out his five missions for government, including a health mission to build ‘an NHS fit for the future' and ‘a fairer Britain, where everyone lives well for longer'. Missions were supposed to mean a new way of doing government – focused on ambitious, long-term objectives that provide a driving sense of purpose for the country. So, with Labour now in office for 9 months, what have we learned about how mission-driven government works in practice? Are clues emerging about how government plans to improve the nation's health beyond the confines of the NHS? And do missions show signs of bringing about durable changes in policy and how the state works?  To discuss, our Chief Executive Jennifer Dixon is joined by: Hannah White, Director at the Institute for Government.  Jo Bibby, Director of Health at the Health Foundation.  Show notes Institute for Government (2025).

Canine Health Foundation Celebrates 30 years Stephanie Montgomery, CEO of the AKC Canine Health Foundation, joins host Laura Reeves to catch up on what the powerful non-profit has done and continues to do for all dogs. Montgomery, an Airedale fancier, joined CHF as the CEO in 2023, but “I was able to kind of blend my passion for science and dogs and started volunteering for the Canine Health Foundation as a scientific reviewer. And then I always say I'm a failed volunteer because now I'm working here. “We are celebrating our 30th year anniversary this year, founded in 1995. And what I was so impressed by was that folks had this vision. So what we do is we fundraise, right? And we distribute that money. To fund the best research that will advance the health of all dogs. So we do that through awarding grants to researchers that tend to be at veterinary schools. And when we evaluate those grants, we wanna find the most cutting-edge research that's going to have the biggest impact on dogs, and that's what we've done for 30 years. Canine Health Foundation helped fund the work conducted at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center that identified the canine genome. This is the basis for all ensuing DNA testing since 2004. “Prior to 1995 when CHF started, there was no dog genome,” Montgomery said. “The human genome had only been completed two years prior and it was pivotal. It changed the way that we could look at genetic testing and evolution of dogs and develop tools in veterinary medicine. CHF's contribution to ground breaking science continues to this day with research at hundreds of Universities, including studies into mitral valve disease that impacts millions of dogs. “I'm so happy to see the work being done because mitral valve disease is so common in all of the dogs,” Montgomery noted. “I'm a pathologist and the number of older dogs that don't have some mitral valve disease is really next to none. They all have it and we understand so little about it, even though it's so common. And so I'm so excited that we have new studies going that help us understand the physiology of how this disease develops. It will help us identify targets for future therapies. We also have studies on how to best diagnose and monitor progression so maybe we can make a difference and impact all these dogs that have mitral valve disease.”

In the documentary Growing up Gypsy, Stacey Dooley gets to know three young English Romany Gypsy women. Invited into the traditionally private community, Stacey discovers the complex balancing act the young women face growing up in one of Britain's most maligned ethnic minorities. She meets 23 year old Chantelle who prides herself in keeping with the ‘old' Gypsy values her granny Rita taught her and shares her ‘Gypsy Cleaning' videos on social media where she has nearly 400,000 followers on TikTok and 15 million likes on her page. Chantelle joined Kylie Pentelow to talk about her life, alongside Stacey Dooley.In this week's Women's Prize discussion, Clare McDonnell heard from two authors about the debut books they've had long-listed for this year's prestigious literary prize. Sanam Mahloudji's novel, The Persians, tells the story of the Valiat family from the perspective of five women from 1940s Iran into a splintered 2000s. And Labour MP Yuan Yang's non-fiction book, Private Revolutions, explores the lives of four women born in China in the 1980s and 90s during a time of rapid change in society.Since its release, the Netflix TV series Adolescence has caused widespread discussion about what's shaping our teenagers' lives. The four-part series follows the fallout from 13-year-old Jamie's arrest on suspicion of murdering his female classmate, Katie. The show is a critique of social media-boosted toxic masculinity and its role in the teenage experience. Clare discussed the issues with clinical psychologist, Dr Amani Milligan and Consultant Forensic Psychologist, Dr Ruth Tully.Do you enjoy a bit of gossip? The thrill of being the first to hear something and sharing it, or the irresistible urge to be let into the lives of others? What's the difference between idle gossip and hurtful criticism behind someone's back, do women gossip as much as men and can gossip be used to keep women safe? American journalist Kelsey McKinney joined Clare to discuss her new book, You Didn't Hear This From Me: Notes on the Art of Gossip.Technology journalist and author Lara Lewington asks how artificial intelligence can improve women's health, and what we are ready for it to do for us? From prevention and diagnostics to testing and tracking, we speak to female experts, scientists and practitioners. Her experts include Madhumita Murgia, AI Editor of the Financial Times, Nell Thornton, Improvement Fellow, The Health Foundation and Dr Ellie Cannon, a GP and author.This week we heard how victims and survivors of domestic abuse want the police to better protect them from perpetrators, but there's also a very practical and positive way some women have been trying to process their trauma to build a future for themselves. British boxer Lesley Sackey - who previously won gold at the EU Championships - is a survivor of an abusive relationship and now helps other women to gain confidence and move forward by getting into the boxing ring. She joined Claire, along with Olivia Culverhouse, who took part in Lesley's 10-week Fight Forward course.Presenter: Kylie Pentelow Producer: Annette Wells Editor: Sarah Crawley

A conversation with Sheila Sims, a long-time local architect and the president of Sims + Architects. Her firm has designed many prominent local buildings, from the new Amarillo City Hall to the FirstBank Southwest Center at AC to the Harrington Cancer and Health Foundation building near the Medical Center. After earning a degree from Texas A&M, Sims returned to Amarillo to work for Lavin Architects as an intern—and never looked back. She shares with host Jason Boyett about taking over leadership of Lavin right before the pandemic, why she loves being an architect in Amarillo rather than the Metroplex, and what it's like for her work product to be visible to everyone in the community. This episode is supported by Sheman Dental and Panhandle Plains Historical Museum.

The room and services were entirely funded by Pure Telecom's fundraising initiatives for Children's Health Foundation. Children's Health Foundation raises vital funds to support sick children and their families in Ireland. It has been instrumental in driving cutting-edge research into childhood illness and treatment while also supplying funds for state-of-the-art facilities, advanced equipment, and enhanced services for Ireland's most critically ill children.

The multisensory facility offers a stress relief haven for children visiting the Children's Health Ireland at Connolly urgent care centre.

The busy hospital environment can be challenging for these children and their families, which can impact their overall experience and ability to receive the service they need. The room provides a tranquil escape from what can be a sensory overload and features soothing elements including gentle lighting, immersive wall projections, tactile objects and calming shimmering lights. The room is expected to benefit hundreds of the patients and their families who attend Children's Health Ireland at Connolly each year. Speaking about the room, Fionna Brennan, Director of Nursing Children's Health Ireland at Tallaght & Connolly said 'The multisensory room is of huge benefit to children who attend Children's Health Ireland at Connolly.

Dr. Elizabeth Lee Vliet is president and CEO of Truth for Health Foundation. Since February 2020, she's been part of the team of frontline physicians treating COVID early at home. With Dr. Peter McCullough, she is a co-author-editor of the Guide to COVID Early Treatment- Options to Stay Out of Hospital and Save Your Life. She is a past director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. --The 77th World Health Organization Assembly is over and the pandemic treaty was not passed. Dr. Vliet believes they are distracting people by saying that the treaty ran into problems so it's only on the -back burner- until the next gathering when there's less pressure and less public focus. --What they did -under the radar- was to pass International Health Regulatory Agreement amendments from the 2005 agreement. She contends that the amendments that were passed are more draconian than ever. For example, in one of the amendments they now have arrest power for anyone who criticizes the avian flu vaccines.--Is avian -bird- flu rampant in animals-- Dr. Vliet says it's not because the unreliable PCR test is being used as a diagnostic test when in fact, it's not and never has been. Nonetheless it's being used to claim bird flu in animals which is an excuse to slaughter the food supply and scare people into receiving more experimental shots. In other words, the playbook that was used in 2020 for the COVID pandemic -and disrupt the election- is being used in regard to the avian flu situation. --From cancer to court cases, to gain-of-function and more, a lot is covered for you to hear and to share with others, on this edition of Crosstalk.
