Anti - Racism for Health Equity Community of Practice - Strengthening Anti - Racist Practice in Health and Care, Summary

Healthwatch Greenwich

March 2025

The Anti - Racism Community of Practice (CoP) for Health Equity has played a role in fostering collaboration, shared learning, and dialogue among health and care staff and practitioners in Greenwich.

Public satisfaction with the NHS and social care in 2024 (BSA)

The King's Fund - Nuffield Trust

2nd April 2025

Just 1 in 5 people (21%) in 2024 said they were satisfied with the way the NHS runs. 6 in 10 people (59%) said they were 'very' or 'quite' dissatisfied with the NHS in 2024, a sharp rise from 52% in 2023. This is the highest level of dissatisfaction with the health service since the British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey began in 1983. The British Social Attitudes survey offers a unique look at how the British public are feeling about their health service. Carried out every year since 1983 by the National Centre for Social Research, it provides a barometer for understanding not only how people feel the NHS runs nowadays, but also what is driving their satisfaction (or, rather more accurately in recent years, dissatisfaction); how they rate individual services; and what they make of social care. The King's Fund and the Nuffield Trust jointly sponsor questions each year to measure and track public views about health and care. The 2024 survey was carried out in September and October 2024. It documents the lowest levels of satisfaction with the NHS on record, provides context to a health service facing profound challenges and offers a clear baseline from which we can understand how the public are feeling at the start of a new government.
