Inclusion Pays – new report launch

The second report in our Inclusion Pays series focuses on our Armed Forces and Veterans Service, demonstrating how earlier identification, trusted navigation and coordinated support can prevent escalation, improve outcomes and make better use of NHS resources.

Through costed scenarios, the report demonstrates savings of up to £26.94 for every £1 invested, alongside safer hospital discharge, improved access to specialist Armed Forces pathways and better continuity of care for veterans, serving personnel, reservists and their families.

Refugee and Asylum Seeker Service wins HSJ Patient Safety Award

The national award recognises organisations taking a concerted, systematic approach to tackling disparities in patient safety, reducing health inequalities and addressing unwarranted variation in care for minority ethnic communities. It particularly recognises evidence-based, data-driven interventions that demonstrate impact and the potential to be replicated at scale.

The judges described the work as:
“A compelling example of how proactive, trauma-informed primary care can improve safety, experience and outcomes for one of the NHS’s most vulnerable populations. This is a compelling, well-developed programme that shows leaders and commissioners why Inclusion Pays.”
