Long read The future is now Featuring the voices of patients, volunteers, clinicians and managers, our new digital report explores future ways of changing health and health care for the better. Report Public satisfaction with the NHS in 2014 The results and satisfaction trends relating to the NHS and health care issues from the British Social Attitudes survey 2014. Report How is the NHS performing? January 2015: Quarterly Monitoring Report Our latest survey of finance directors shows a deepening pessimism about the current financial state of health organisations and worries about the coming financial year. Article Emergency department pressures need to be tackled through integrated urgent and emergency care Politicians must look for evidence-based solutions and avoid the NHS becoming a political football, says Chris Ham. Article When delivering treatment is not enough How can patients be encouraged to participate in their own care? And just what does it mean to be an empowered patient? Article Quality in a cold climate: is the NHS on course? Anna Dixon questions whether the Outcomes Framework offers a coherent guide to help steer the health service through the more difficult financial times ahead. Report Technology in the NHS: Transforming the patient's experience of care How can technology be used to improve care for patients? This report gives examples of how technology could be used and suggests ways to overcome the obstacles to its adoption.
