NHS Health and Well-being Review - Interim Report (19th August 2009)
The Boorman Review has now published its Interim Report, setting out emerging findings and initial recommendations on NHS staff health and well-being.

The Interim Report lays out the business case for change and makes recommendations for improvement in provision. Its findings are based on evidence gathered from across the NHS and its stakeholders; with over 200 responses from experts and Trusts to the Call for Evidence, and 11,000 staff completing the staff perception survey; through engagement with staff and managers at workshops and meetings across the country, and information on best practice drawn from a comprehensive literature review.

NHS Number public awareness programme update (18th August 2009)
There is to be no national NHS Number public awareness campaign, by either the Department of Health (DH) or by NHS Connecting for Health.

Following a number of queries from local organisations, the NHS Number Programme would like to clarify plans about how to improve the public's awareness of the programme.

A collaborative pilot project, exploring a possible way of informing patients of their NHS Number, was carried out with North Tees primary care trusts (PCTs).

It is recommended that strategic heath authorities (SHAs) and PCTs undertake NHS Number public awareness campaigns at a regional or local level.
