36:54

As the general election approaches, what are the main parties planning on health and will it make a difference?

1M ago33:08

33:08

More long-term, mission-led policymaking is sorely needed, but how best to do it? The Sure Start programme was set up with the aim of giving young children the best possible start in life, narrowing gaps in outcomes for disadvantaged children. First announced by the New Labour government in 1998, it has evolved regularly over the past two decades. …

43: Limp NHS productivity and what to do about it – with Anita Charlesworth and Neil Sebire 32:47

2M ago32:47

32:47

Improving NHS productivity is a key national priority. But what’s behind the slowdown and can it be reversed? Over the past few years, amid the turmoil of COVID-19, the NHS has seen substantial growth in funding and clinical staffing levels. Yet the numbers of patients treated haven’t risen in step – suggesting services, particularly NHS acute hosp…

42: Our health: is it the economy, stupid? – with Torsten Bell and Diane Coyle 32:04

3M ago32:04

32:04

What's happened to our economy and what does it mean for our health? Many developed economies have been growing more slowly since around 2008, but the UK economy has been struggling more than most. Wages haven't risen since 2008 leaving the average worker £14,000 worse off. Productivity growth – vital to rising living standards – has stalled. Regio…

41: Two commissions on the future of the NHS – with Rachel Sylvester and Parveen Kumar 35:38

4M ago35:38

35:38

Given the huge pressures on the NHS it's perhaps inevitable people ask, what's the future of it? The NHS and social care are struggling to deliver care and support to people who need it. With services so stretched, waiting times at record highs, public satisfaction falling and a demoralised workforce, is now the time to ask some fundamental questio…

5M ago37:47

37:47

About a fifth of us of working age – just under 9 million people in the UK – are not looking for or are not able to work. Recently the biggest growth has been among those reporting long-term illness, now at a record high of around 2.7 million. This decline in working-age health is causing concern among employers, politicians and policymakers. Earli…

7M ago36:41

36:41

Join us as we look back at the pick of the pod in 2023. It's been a turbulent year: the NHS under pressure, the health of the population not improving as fast as we’d like and economic inactivity remaining stubbornly high, especially among working-age people. But it's not all gloom. To some surprise, we saw government ditch its nanny state objectio…

7M ago32:58

32:58

AI technologies are advancing rapidly. Yet when it comes to AI in health care we're still in the early stages. The prize could be big – the question is what will it take to realise the benefits?

37: What do the main political parties really have in store for health? – with Rachel Wolf and Stephen Bush 35:04

9M ago35:04

35:04

A general election is expected in 2024 and no party can ignore the NHS − but what do they plan to do on health? The health service regularly tops voter concerns, consumes a growing share of public spending and features daily in the media. The health of the nation is also moving up the agenda, with ill health the main reason why 2.6 million working-…

9M ago38:09

38:09

A record 7.7 million people are now waiting for elective care in England. With so many waiting for NHS care, polls show deep public concern over access to health services and many considering going private. Meantime policymakers are exploring how the independent sector can help get waiting lists down, and private equity investors are making moves i…

35: Our health in 2040: are we getting sicker? – with Jeanelle de Gruchy and Kevin Fenton 33:06

10M ago33:06

33:06

Whatever we are doing on health, it isn't enough to prepare for the wave of morbidity that is clearly in sight. Recent Health Foundation modelling estimates 1 in 5 will be living with major illness by 2040, mostly because more of us will be older. But it's not just about age. A record 2.5 million working-age people are already not in work due to il…

As we approach the NHS’s 75th birthday in July, we’re launching a series of three podcast episodes setting out the big questions facing the health service. This first episode exp…

31: How chronic stress weathers our health – with Dr Michelle Kelly-Irving and Professor Nish Chaturvedi 33:56

1y ago33:56

33:56

How healthy we are in part depends on the many different exposures we've had over our life – including to physical, psychological and social factors. Chronic exposure to psychosocial stress – for example, poverty or other disadvantage – leads to prolonged strain on the body. This weathering can make us physically ill before our time and prematurely…

34:44

Today, women make up around half of all doctors and two-thirds of all medical students. So, has equality in health care finally been achieved? When International Women’s Day began in 1909, women were still barred from entering medical school. Today women make up a growing share of the medical workforce and students in the UK. Despite this considera…

32:15

Improvements to life expectancy slowed in the last decade, and in some communities even went into reverse. In England, the north east region has the lowest life expectancy. The last decade and a half has seen a worrying increase in mortality among younger people, and in particular men who are dying before their time. A big chunk of this excess mort…

39:00

We're all familiar with some of the challenges ahead in the UK: a fiscal squeeze, limp productivity, a labour shortage and an ageing population with increasing needs. As Andy Haldane put it in our recent REAL Challenge lecture, two routes to prosperity for the UK include increasing the number of workers and their productivity. But both of these rou…

25: What to do about dying? – with Richard Smith and Libby Sallnow 35:29

1+ y ago35:29

35:29

We don’t like to think about death. To many, death and dying have no value and are relegated to the margins of our lives. But about half a million of us in Britain die each year, mostly in our 80s, with half of us dying in our usual place of residence – in our own bed. With palliative care stretched and family and friends often left unsupported, wh…

A new Prime Minister, government and health secretary, all facing a formidable array of challenges.

In meeting the huge challenges facing the NHS, technology is often looked to as the great hope. Yet studies suggest good management is a more active ingredient for success.

2y ago37:27

37:27

Ask the public about health, and they often put the responsibility on the individual and the NHS. And yet we know the context in which we live and make choices really matters. The context that governments, businesses, employers and investors have a big hand in shaping. Polling shows the public is increasingly seeing the government as having an impo…

35:57

This year households across the UK are facing the biggest squeeze in living standards since the 1950s. Most of us will feel the impact, but poor households are being hit the hardest. We know that poverty and the stress of debt harms our health in the short and long term. One role of the state is to provide a welfare safety net. After last month's S…

37:21

For the last decade, gains in life expectancy have been stalling. We’re living more years in poor health too, with a 20 year gap in healthy life expectancy between women living in the richest and poorest areas. The biggest risk factors driving the UK‘s high burden of ill health are smoking, poor diet, physical inactivity and harmful alcohol use. Al…

Like many other countries, the UK has a growing drug problem. In England around 3 million people take drugs and drug deaths are the highest on record at nearly 3,000 a year.

Those of us working in health often focus on the government as the main agent to get things done, especially when it comes to public health.

3y ago35:50

35:50

If you think of health in the UK as a fabric, it is the most threadbare in Glasgow. Here, life expectancy is lowest, and one in four men will die before their sixty-fifth birthday. But even after adjusting for poverty and deprivation, next to comparable deindustrialised cities such as Liverpool and Manchester, Glaswegians have a 30% risk of dying p…

It’s easy to forget the state the NHS was in 20 years ago – long waiting lists, heartrending delays in care, winter crises – and heated debate on whether the NHS model was obsolete. But the Wanless Review set the NHS on course to receive record catch up funding. So in this episode, we ask, given the pandemic and the mounting challenges facing the N…

‘Levelling up’ has become an earworm. It featured highly in the Conservative manifesto in 2019, which was referring to improving infrastructure, skills, productivity and economic growth across the country. The idea is to make the UK economy less lop-sided, and less focused on London and the South East. The aim of ‘levelling up’ has gained even more…

3+ y ago31:36

31:36

We all need care at some point in our lives – when we’re young, when we’re ill and when we grow older. And caring calls for many of the qualities at the very core of what it is to be human: empathy, compassion, selflessness and commitment. And yet care is so often undervalued, skimped on, commoditised or ignored. Examples of that indifference are e…

Obesity in the UK is on the up. Prevalence of obesity is higher in more deprived communities, and obesity is linked to a range of health conditions – as well as increasing a person’s risk from COVID-19.
