Overarching Financial Position Of NHS Trusts For The First Quarter Of 2015/16 NHS – Trust Development Authority
These figures, which cover the period 1 April 2015 to 30 June 2015, show that the NHS trust sector ended the first quarter of the year £485 million in deficit against an initial planned deficit of £412 million. The financial position reflects a number of pressures on the NHS providers such as the higher than planned levels of agency staffing. In the first three months of this year, NHS trusts had spent over £380 million on agency and contract staff.



Registered nurses and health care support workers: a summary of RCN policy positions –  Royal College of Nursing (RCN)
This briefing provides an overview of RCN positions on the education of the registered and non-registered nursing workforce. It argues that the registered nursing workforce should remain an all graduate profession and that the RCN does not support the return of the second level registered nurse.



King’s Lynn ‘up for’ radical restructure to stave off £39m deficit – HSJ
Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn Foundation Trust is planning a radical restructure after an independent review said it faced a £39m funding deficit by 2018-19. Chief executive Dorothy Hosein told HSJ last week the trust was “up for” radical change. However, she said closing its accident and emergency department, an option proposed in the contingency planning team review, was not viable.

The habits of the improver – The Health Foundation
The Health Foundation has published The habits of the improver: thinking about learning for improvement in health care.  This document offers a way of viewing the field of health care improvement from the perspective of the men and women who deliver and co-produce care on the ground, the improvers on whom the NHS depends. It describes 15 habits which such individuals regularly deploy, grouped under five broad headings – learning, influencing, resilience, creativity and systems thinking. The document has been written to promote discussion and as a possible model for all those seeking to take decisions about the best balance of attitudes, skills and knowledge in initial training and continuing professional development for improvement across the NHS.



Antimicrobial stewardship: changing risk-related behaviours – RAND Europe
RAND Europe has published Antimicrobial stewardship: the effectiveness of education interventions to change risk-related behaviours in the general population: a systematic review.  This systematic review of the evidence of effectiveness and cost effectiveness on changing the public’s risk related behaviour pertaining to antimicrobial use will be used to inform the development of a NICE public health guideline aimed at delaying antimicrobial resistance.  The review considered educational interventions targeting individuals, communities or the general public delivered via any mode.



Monitoring socioeconomic inequalities for CCGs – The Centre for Health Economics
The Centre for Health Economics has published How fair is your local NHS? Monitoring socioeconomic inequalities in health care within local clinical commissioning groups.  This policy briefing reports on prototype equity indicators at CCG level to support the NHS inequalities duty.  The indicators measure social inequality gradients in health care within CCGs, and then compare this statistically with the national average inequality gradient. This identifies whether a particular CCG is doing better or worse than England as a whole at reducing health care inequalities. This information could be used by the NHS to support quality improvement efforts, learn lessons about how to improve health care quality for all social groups, and share those lessons across the NHS.  A full draft report presenting the research findings will be submitted to the National Institute for Health Research in January 2016, and a final report will be published around July 2016.



NIHR evaluations, trials and studies – NIHR
The National Institute for Health Research Health has published the results of the following research during September:

      • Oxygen saturation levels for infants with bronchiolitis
      • Evaluation of research with patient and public involvement
      • Treating faecal incontinence with electrical stimulation of the nerves


Alternative guide to mental health care in England – The King’s Fund
The King’s Fund has published an animation illustrating the different mental health services available and how they fit in with other health services.  An alternative guide to mental health care in England has been released to coincide with World Mental Health Day on 10 October 2015.  Whilst demonstrating the range of services available, it also highlights some of the issues that need to be addressed.



NICE Surveillance Reports – NICE
NICE has introduced Surveillance Reports which contain important new evidence relating to NICE guidelines.  Each report contains: a summary of new evidence related to the guideline; an in-depth commentary on a selection of this evidence; and a decision on whether the relevant guideline should be updated, with the rationale behind this.
The following reports have been published recently:

      • Surveillance report – Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (2013) NICE guideline CG163 – surveillance decision: the guideline will not be updated at this time.
      • Surveillance report – Ulcerative colitis (2013) NICE guideline CG166 – surveillance decision: the guideline will not be updated at this time.
      • Surveillance report – Social anxiety disorder (2013) NICE guideline CG159 – surveillance decision: the guideline will not be updated at this time.
