I live in Gloucestershire. I am interested in patient safety, especially suicide prevention and ending use of restraint in MH services. I know a bit about NHS-funded mental health system in England. I think QI is useful if it's voluntary and not so much if it's imposed as a training requirement.

I'm taking chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. (I'm happy to talk about my experience, just ask! Obviously no medical or treatment advice).
I'm taking a lot of medication! Some days I take 18 or so tablets.
I would have found a "paper based" dosette box - a schedule of what to take and when - really useful. Especially because some meds don't have to be taken everyday. I take capecitabine for 14 days then stop; I take dexa for 4 days & stop.
This paper from 2020 (with data from 2017) about patient flow in London UK hospitals is interesting. There's lots of discussion in UK about social care, but it's clear that's only part of the picture. https://www.rcpe.ac.uk/sites/default/files/jrcpe_50_4_marinova.pdf
