At Hallam Medical, we’re proud to support the The Queen’s Institute of Community Nursing (QICN) podcast series, focused on leadership across health and care.

Episode 2: Emma Dodsworth and Sophie Julian – Researchers, Nuffield Trust

In Episode 2, we hear from Emma Dodsworth and Sophie Julian, researchers at the independent health think tank Nuffield Trust.

This episode explores the Nuffield Trust’s latest findings on the decline of district nursing and what this means for the NHS’s ambition to shift more care into the community. Emma and Sophie discuss:

• The scale of the district nursing workforce shortfall
• The importance of the District Nursing SPQ
• The actions needed to stabilise supply and improve retention
• How to manage rising demand for community-based care

They also examine gaps in workforce data and the challenges of coordinating community and social care services. The conversation sets out practical steps for leaders looking to strengthen district nursing services and deliver safe, effective care at home.

Hallam Medical remains committed to supporting leadership, innovation and excellence in patient care. We are proud to partner with The Queen’s Institute of Community Nursing on the Leaders in Health podcast series.
