Ben Richardson from Carnall Farrar says people with multimorbidity drive 50% of NHS costs. That's why the left shift to prpactive and preventive care is key to NHS sustainability. #NHSConfedExpo

It has been a jampacked two days at #NHSConfedExpo. Here's a snapshot of what The King's Fund team has been up to. Sarah Woolnough joined a panel with Sanofi, where she spoke about the need for clarity in how we think and talk about prevention.

After a busy couple of days at #NHSConfedExpo, Sarah Arnold reflects on some of the energising and positive conversations. From moving to a more preventative approach to hearing patients voices more, there's lots to take away from Manchester this evening.

My brilliant The King's Fund colleagues have worked all the hours since Thursday to digest and analyse all 168 pages of the gov’s 10 Year Health Plan in this handy explainer so you don’t have to - happy reading!

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for 25% of UK premature deaths. Up to 80% of these deaths are preventable. It’s estimated that the burden of CVD costs £29 billion each year. But CVD prevention is not currently being prioritised by government at the scale needed.

Our long read looks at the ways integrated care systems can provide a whole-system approach to CVD prevention. We suggest what’s needed at a primary care and national level to prioritise the shift from treating CVD illness to preventing it. Read it here: kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…

New report from The King's Fund out today⬇️ Lowering the risk of CVD requires action on smoking, obesity and other determinants of health which requires closer working between ICSs and public health teams and will need to be backed up by bold action from national Government.
