‘How do we know if HSR impacts on policy?’ - a great workshop this morning led by @annetteboaz.bsky.social. The workshop was full of ideas of how to do things differently with fantastic engagement in the room! #HSRUK2025 @barbarahanratty.bsky.social

Led by @alisonthomson.bsky.social, the briefing summarises results from a @yougov.co.uk poll of over 1,700 people in England. Read more below 👇 📑 Policy briefing: qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/handle... 📊 Poll results & editorial: denpru-qmul.nihr.ac.uk/resources/ #denpruQM #prevention

The Government's #10YearPlan for the NHS in England identifies the move from sickness to prevention as one of 3 'big shifts' in how the NHS works. Today, we are launching a policy briefing from our #prevention workstream exploring public attitudes towards preventing dementia, MS and Parkinson's 👇

Have you heard of dementia, multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson's disease? Results from our @yougov.co.uk poll indicate that around 90% of people have heard of each of these conditions, but that awareness of possible preventative measures is far lower. Read the full briefing: shorturl.at/8PTLA

Would you take part in research to help stop #dementia, #Parkinsons and #MS before they start? Around half of our survey respondents said they would. 🟡Dementia: 59% 🔵Parkinson's: 50% 🟠Multiple sclerosis: 47% @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social @parkinsons.org.uk @mssocietyuk.bsky.social shorturl.at/8PTLA

What does the public think about preventing dementia, MS & Parkinson’s? @denpru-qm.bsky.social has just released findings from our YouGov poll, surveying 1,700 people in England, to explore attitudes to neurological prevention: bit.ly/3TwiN7l

Following an in-person workshop and a three-round modified Delphi survey, 56 policy recommendations achieved consensus across four categories: 📢 Public health messaging 👟 Individual-level interventions 🌍 Population-level interventions 📚 Research commissioning @hdemnitzking.bsky.social
