.@drjanetownson Agree. We need to remember that is a health AND social care system. In order to support the #NHS we need to focus on the wider system. Pressure on the NHS (ambulance times, A&E attendance and flow/discharge) are symptoms of whole system problems, not the cause.

Diagnostics essential but it's also about ongoing treatment/care management and then discharge from acute care. Close the loop to prevent readmissions. #PublicHealth #PrimaryPrevention #SecondaryPrevention #SocialCare
