A new relationship with people and communities: actions for delivering chapter 2 of the NHS five year forward view – People and Communities Board
As part of the NHS five year forward view, the PCB was invited to recommended a set of high-impact actions for adopting person- and community-centred approaches to health and social care.

An insight into frontline clinical care in acute hospitals  – King’s Fund Blog, Chris Ham & Don Berwick
During the past year we have become increasingly aware of the pressures facing frontline clinicians working in acute hospitals.

State of maternity services report 2016 – Royal College of Midwives (RCM)
This annual report examines the statistics and figures around maternity services in order to identify emerging issues and trends. This year’s report identifies a demographic change in both patients and workforce. The number of midwives under 50 has fallen and the report highlights concerns around a future shortfall of midwives in the UK’s workforce.


The way forward – Royal College of Opthamologists (RCOpth)
These reports were commissioned by RCOpth to identify current methods of working and schemes devised by ophthalmology departments in the UK to help meet the increasing demand in ophthalmic services. The work found that increasing demand for hospital eye services is not being met and continues to grow – currently seeing nearly ten per cent of all outpatient appointments and performing six per cent of the surgery in the UK. Each report focuses on an area of high volume within opthalmic care: cataracts, glaucoma, emergency eye care, and age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinoptathy. The reports aim to offer a helpful resource for ophthalmologists who are seeking to develop their services to meet capacity needs
