Engaging nursing home residents in clinical research, insights from a patient advisory board, a patient advocate, and a study team

BMC - Research Involvement and Engagement - NON-UK!

2024

This study looked at how nursing home residents in two nursing homes in Bremen, Germany, feel about being part of health research. It focused on their reasons for joining, what they hoped to get out of it, and their experiences. The study used two groups, called Patient Advisory Boards (PABs), in these nursing homes. An important part of making this work was having someone called a Patient Advocate, who talked to the nursing home residents and communicated their perspectives to the research team. Researchers talked to the residents and other researchers through interviews and group discussions. The study found that nursing home residents and researchers had different reasons for being involved. The nursing home residents enjoyed the chance to talk with others and share their health worries, while the researchers wanted to make sure the study considered the views of older patients. There were some challenges for both, researchers and nursing home residents. The topic of the study, which was about using many different medicines (polypharmacy), was complex. Nursing home residents would need easier methods to take part. Nonetheless, being part of the PABs was experienced to be good by the nursing home residents. It helped them think more about their health and feel more confident talking about their medicines. The study shows that when including nursing home residents in health research, it's important to think about their specific needs to ensure meaningful engagement. [less]

Tackling health inequalities through English devolution

Centre for Local Economic Strategies - The King's Fund

October 2024

Published by the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) and The King's Fund, and supported by the Health Foundation, this report sets out a bold vision for tackling health inequalities across England through devolution. The research explores the case for regional devolution as an effective approach towards narrowing health inequalities and sets out key considerations for the government to push forward on this agenda. This includes: ensuring that economic growth acts to narrow rather than deepen health inequalities; enabling stronger joint working between local and regional government and integrated care systems to address health inequalities; and delivering a fairer funding deal for councils.

A better way of doing business, securing the right to a healthy workplace

Royal Society for Public Health

2024

This report finds that nearly half (47%) of the UK workforce is without access to essential health support, such as routine health checks or flu vaccinations. It finds that people working in lower - paid industries like agriculture and hospitality are disproportionately represented in the figures and most likely to miss out on support. This is despite working in sectors that are shown to be least healthy for workers. The report calls for a universal 'right to a healthy workplace' for all employees. [less]
