Policy, think tanks, charities, and representative bodies
The King’s Fund
- Five ways system leaders think differently (and why this matters more than ever in health and care) [19/6].
- This blog argues that addressing complex challenges in health and care requires a shift to “systems leadership,” where leaders think beyond their own organisations and focus on the wider system. It outlines five key ways systems leaders think differently: they recognise interconnections across services, understand how system structures shape behaviour, anticipate unintended consequences, prioritise collective leadership over individual authority, and reflect on their own role in sustaining or changing the system. Overall, it emphasises that effective leadership today depends on seeing the bigger picture, working collaboratively, and adapting personal thinking to drive meaningful, system-wide change.
- Talking about men’s health [17/6].
- The King’s Fund blog highlights that men in England experience significantly poorer health outcomes than women, including shorter life expectancy, higher rates of preventable disease and a disproportionate share of suicides, yet often engage less with health services. Drawing on research with men from diverse backgrounds, it emphasises that health behaviours and attitudes are shaped by factors such as gender, work, and socio-economic disadvantage. The article argues that services need to better reflect men’s lived experiences—by improving accessibility, tailoring conversations (especially around mental health), building trust through positive early interactions, and recognising the role of employment and masculinity. Overall, it calls for more targeted, inclusive approaches to address inequalities and better support men’s health
Smart Thinking
Think tank: The Sutton Trust
- Crosssing paths [18/6].
- This report explores how opportunities for disadvantaged young people in England are shaped not just by socio-economic background and geography, but also by the interaction of gender and ethnicity. It highlights significant regional disparities in educational attainment and earnings, showing that average outcomes often mask important inequalities between different groups. The report pays particular attention to outcomes for white working-class pupils, mapping variations in achievement and employment prospects across constituencies, and demonstrates that social mobility is influenced by a complex combination of postcode, background, gender and ethnicity.
