PEOPLE FIRST: a response from health and care leaders to the urgent and emergency care system crisis

https://stratus.campaign-image.eu/images/32883000012916008_zc_v1_1686064831012_cqc.jpg

Earlier this year the CQC published  PEOPLE FIRS T , an online resource designed to help system leaders and service providers in the design of person-centred urgent and emergency care services. They also hope it will help encourage innovation across integrated care systems.


The CQC would like to understand the  awareness  and  application  of PEOPLE FIRST. Even if you haven't heard of, or used PEOPLE FIRST, we'd like you to take this survey,  by Friday 14 July 2023 .

Published July 2025 (data correct as at 2024/25) Skills for Care have launched their annual report on the size and structure of ythe care workforce This provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the size and structure of the adult social care sector and workforce in England. A short, written report is available: download a copy of the report here. The methodology for this year’s report has changed from previous years. Adult social care related roles employed by the NHS are no longer included in the headline statistics for the size of the adult social care workforce. This change has been applied retrospectively to previous years, so the trends in this report are consistent. Comparing figures from this report to previous reports will not produce a valid trend. Also, our estimates for the number of filled posts in the independent sector now come from our automated data pipeline. This has resulted in substantial improvements to our estimates over time and some figures have changed as a result from previous versions of this report. For further information, see our statement.  To download the data behind the visualisation below, including trended information, please see the Workforce estimates page.
