Who can give the modern Cathy a home?
2nd August 2016
- Emily Crawford
It’s 50 years since Ken Loach’s groundbreaking film, Cathy Come Home, documented the inhuman effects of homelessness. Without a home, as his heartbreaking film shows, families collapse, children are deprived of a stable childhood in which to thrive and individuals – Cathy herself – are put under intolerable mental and emotional strain with tragic and unjust consequences.

With Prevention in Mind
19th February 2016
Announcing £1 billion increase in funding to mental health, David Cameron rightly said that there needs to be a ‘revolution’ in mental health care.

Cancer – a rare area of political convergence?
24th April 2015
So manifestos are out and for those working on charities’ general election campaigns, the anxious wait is over.

Brilliance and Imperfection: How medical technology has the potential to help people with asthma
23rd April 2015
Over the last few decades safe and effective new medical technologies have been widely welcomed by patients and health care professionals alike, and helped to transform life expectancy.

Accessing the Future of Healthcare: Why the commissioning of new medicines must be a priority for the next government
22nd April 2015
The Coalition Government should be commended for its efforts to drive the life sciences agenda. After setting down an early statement of intent with the Strategy for UK life sciences, last year’s re-launch of the Office for Life Sciences, operating across the departments of business and health, signalled a clear intention to harness the potential of modern technology to create a health service fit for the 21st century.

Health North: A step in the right direction for addressing health equity in the North of England?
21st April 2015

Life Sciences: The key to a 21st Century NHS
20th April 2015
As we approach polling day, I believe the choice we are facing on the future of the NHS is becoming ever more clear. The choice is simple: between the focus of Jeremy Hunt and the Conservative Health team on supporting NHS leaders to improve the culture of care and transparency, promote patient empowerment and accelerate access to new treatments by unlocking the power of the NHS as a pioneer of medical innovation, and the depressing sight of Andy Burnham determined to ‘weaponise’ the NHS for partisan advantage.

The nature of prosperity
23rd March 2015
Last week, in London – one of the richest cities in the world – the Mayor announced a “Level 7 Warning” on air pollution. High levels of pollutants like NO2 and particulates fill the air, causing a perceptible haze in areas like St James’s Park.
