Abstract: NIHR Signal. Regular
participation in structured organisation-wide forums, known as Schwartz Center
Rounds®, helps support healthcare staff. The forums are linked with increased
empathy and compassion for colleagues and patients, and they facilitate practice
change. Levels of poor psychological well-being decrease in forum attendees
compared with non-attendees. This NIHR-funded evaluation is the first
mixed-methods, large-scale evaluation of the forums in England.

Abstract: Based on data from every UK cancer hospital, this report reveals: one in
six UK cancer centres now operates with fewer clinical oncology consultants
than five years ago; vacancies for clinical oncology posts are now double what
they were in 2013 – with more than half of vacant posts empty for a year or
more; the UK’s clinical oncology workforce is currently 18 per cent
understaffed – without investment the shortfall is predicted to grow to at
least 22 per cent by 2023; and to close the gap between supply and demand for
cancer doctors, oncology trainee numbers need to at least double and even with
that investment, the gap would not be closed until 2029.

a range of sectors: health care; social care; emergency services; voluntary,

Abstract: The phrase
‘postcode lottery’ has become a byword for differences in access to NHS
treatment according to where a patient lives.
However, this should not be the case. There are four key approaches that
could help create a more harmonised approach to healthcare and a more coherent
experience that focuses on patients’ needs.
