Health & Social Care

NHS England and partners have published six Quick Guides providing examples of how people across the country are working with the care sector (including voluntary sector organisations) to reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and delayed transfers of care.

PHE and the Stroke Association are urging the public to Act FAST if they spot signs of stroke with the aim of saving lives and improving outcomes for survivors. The latest Act FAST campaign will again urge the public to call 999 if they notice any of the stroke symptoms in others or experience them themselves.

A series of new health and housing resources, commissioned by PHE and developed by national partners, aim to better equip professionals in environmental health, housing, public health and social care to work together locally to reduce the impact of poor housing and homelessness on physical and mental health and wellbeing, and the impact on health care and social care services.

A new resource from Public Health England’s (PHE) Mental Health Intelligence Network highlights the importance of local organisations measuring and acting to improve the mental wellbeing of children and young people.
