Louise LocockFascinating to hear more from @eidinnishe about Ireland's plans to move to a new universal public healthcare system , Sláintecare, and some of the political tensions and practical obstacles. #HSRUK23 https://www.breakingnews.ie/amp/explained/explained-what-is-slaintecare-and-whats-the-controversy-about-1193300.html
Listening to a paper on the forms of 'work' people who had to shield during #COVID had to engage in, including emotional and identity work. Initial #Lockdown felt like everyone was on a level playing field. But the irony of so-called 'Freedom Day' was that for #Shielding people it felt like incarceration. #HSRUK23
Three telling questions on health services research from George Julian:
Does the world need your research?
Are you working with people, from the start?
Is the money going to the right place?
And suggests we need a focus on ensuring basic care for people with learning disabilities is actually delivered
The wonderful George Julian makes an excellent point about this plenary title, "making people matter", about research with marginalised people. They DO matter. We don't 'make' them matter, we need to recognise they already do.
And gives us a welter of well-known but shocking stats. Just one: 49% of deaths of people with learning disability are avoidable.

Interesting reflections on what we don't or can't say in reporting our research. Pressure to make all studies sound perfect, not report failures. #HSRUK23
Trying to provide hospital-level care for people at home is not only potentially costly, but do people really want to be frightened at home? Some might, but a single person might feel very insecure if they're home alone sick. Louella leaves us with a vision of her and her cat, all alone....

We should be more focused on whether healthcare is doing the basics well, rather than being mesmerised by the discourse of 'transformation' and 'innovation'. Hear hear, Louella. #HSRUK23
In healthcare there is too much constant intervention, telling hospitals they must implement 20 innovations before breakfast. And then we wonder why they're on their knees and still picking up the pieces from the last wave of ill-judged change. Louella Vaughan

Hospitals around the world are in danger of collapse for lack of staffing, says Louella Vaughan. And they are all drowning in quality metrics, which don't do anything to improve care, or staff/patient experience
