Marmot Review 10 Years On Ten years after his landmark review on health inequalities in England, Professor Sir Michael Marmot, confirms that, for the first time in more than 100 years, life expectancy has failed to increase for a decade across the country, and for the poorest 10% of women it has actually declined. Over the last decade health inequalities have widened overall, and the amount of time people spend in poor health has increased since 2010. In his ground-breaking 10-year update on health inequalities, Health Equity in England: The Marmot Review 10 Years On, published by the Institute of Health Equity, today (Tuesday 25th February), Sir Michael also confirms an increase in the north/south health gap, where the largest decreases in life expectancy were seen in the most deprived 10% of neighbourhoods in the North East, and the largest increases in the least deprived 10% of neighbourhoods in London.

Primary Care Network Briefing Paper for VCSE As part of the NHS England and NHS Improvement ‘Universal, Personalised Care’ delivery plan under the NHS Long Term plan, National Voices has helped develop resources for the Primary Care Network (PCN) national programme. This briefing paper is intended to inform all kinds of VCSE groups and organisations, including those with little knowledge of healthcare policy. We’ve done our best to limit the policy jargon and have tried to write about PCNs and their development in plain English. The resource explains a new way in which health and care services are being organised locally across England and explores how VCSE organisations might supply knowledge, expertise and training to help PCNs develop. This could be vital in making sure PCNs become more closely engaged with their local communities.
