Source:

Date:
2025
Details:
As Well Wave is a relaunched service, it is important to understand the views and experiences of young people, so that Well Wave services are effective and appropriate for young people. As Well Wave have just launched social media pages; therefore, the Well Wave team requested that we initially investigate how to improve their social media content, as this is something that can be implemented quickly to improve young people's awareness of Well Wave services. It is important to understand what young people want to see on social media accounts related to sexual health services, to ensure that Well Wave social media content is relevant to young people.

Patient Experiences of Hospital Discharge Pathway 0 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital
Source:
Healthwatch Gateshead
Date:
June 2025
Details:
Gaining reflective feedback from patients with significant care needs post- discharge from hospital remains a challenge, creating gaps in understanding whether the hospital discharge pathway serves as an effective process. This research project sought to address this gap by developing a survey to collect feedback from patients, particularly focusing on those discharged on pathway 0, who identify as having no care needs upon discharge. By capturing these experiences, Healthwatch Gateshead aimed to assess the system's efficiency and identify areas for improvement to ensure patients experience a smooth, supportive transition home after hospital treatment.

Details:
This report finds that over the past 50 years, the proportion of the UK population dying from cancer has fallen by more than a fifth. However, it also finds that while people are now less likely to die from cancer, more people are likely to get it. And due to the UK's growing and ageing population, the actual numbers of both cases and deaths are rising.

The care expectation gap

Date:
28th May 2025
Details:
This briefing suggests that people are unaware of the challenges of the social care system and thus are likely not preparing for a future in which they may have to meet significant care costs or care themselves. It found that only 19% of the general public correctly guessed that the cost of professional home care services could cost more than 1,000 per week - most thought the cost was lower, with almost half (47%) thinking costs were between 200 and 600 a week on average.

Adult ADHD assessments and diagnosis, data and service provision
Source:
The King's Fund
Date:
May 2025
Details:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is suspected to affect 3-4% of adults in the UK. In recent years, various sources have highlighted significant waits for adult ADHD assessments. However, there is no official list of ADHD services, no agreed measure for calculating waiting times for assessments and no duty to report this data, so the full picture of ADHD assessment and diagnosis is unclear. This research, commissioned by the Department of Health and Social Care and carried out by The King's Fund, set out to find out what data is available, collected and used to plan and manage adult NHS ADHD assessment services locally. While this is a narrow scope, having an accurate understanding of the data is a vital first step to understanding where improvements might be made.
