Fit For The Future

Posted on 12th February 2026 by Dan Price

#WHXDubai reflections have brought many international links but I am reminded there is still work to do in with our NHS

Fit for the Future defines 3 big shifts - where our systems can support staff and patients for example:

Texting url link to allow people to access vital information about their medicines in their own home - in a way to
best meet their Health Literacy needs.
QR code access for patients, portals in Community Pharmacies, GP surgeries, Hospital waiting area’s to support workflow efficiency and enable patient centred conversations.
Intervening early for “Preventable” medicines relates A&E hospital admissions by patients knowing what to “look out for” and “what to do”.

If this interests you - WmD? is part of the MaPPs system so give me a message and we can arrange a demonstration.

The latest NHS data is clear – England's mental health is getting worse, and the government needs to act

Posted on 9th July 2025 by Dan Price

The government has released the latest wave of results from the much-delayed Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (APMS), which monitors mental illness and treatment across the population in England every 7 years. 

It confirms what we and many mental health professionals have been saying for years:  more people than ever are struggling with their mental health - and they are not making it up. 

More than one in five adults (22.6%) are being clinically assessed as having a common mental health condition, compared to 18.9% in 2014. That’s a 20% increase.
