About this listen

Welcome to Leaders in Health, a new podcast series brought to you by the ⁠Queen’s Institute of Community Nursing⁠.

In this episode, host Lou Patten speaks to Emma Dodsworth and Sophie Julian, Researchers at independent health think tank the Nuffield Trust.

This episode examines the Nuffield Trust’s latest findings on the decline of district nursing and what it means for the NHS’s plan to shift more care into the community. Emma and Sophie explain the scale of the workforce shortfall, the importance of the District Nursing SPQ, and the actions needed to stabilise supply, improve retention, and manage rising demand.

They also discuss gaps in data, and the complexity of coordinating community and social care services. The episode sets out practical steps for leaders to strengthen district nursing and deliver safe, effective care at home.

Thank you to our partner ⁠Hallam Medical⁠ for supporting this podcast series.
