Big thanks to Takeda UK & Ireland for their donation of 15 laptops 💚 They'll make a real difference to the volunteers on our Lived Experience Programme 🙌 Thank you for backing our work on tackling health inequalities and ensuring people experiencing homelessness can access the care they need.

📢 New blog in our inclusion health series by @gemashwell.bsky.social on intermediate care and integrated services for people experiencing homelessness. It highlights stark inequalities - and the consequences when systems don’t work together - alongside what effective, joined-up care can achieve 👇

💡Is Lived Experience shaping decisions in health and care? The 2nd blog in our new inclusion heath series written by Jamesy Dillon, Dr Nic Dickson and Dr Lynsay Crawford challenges us to move towards real co-production. Read the full blog here 👇 tinyurl.com/yfh978ck

🧠 It’s Mental Health Awareness Week The connection between mental health and homelessness is deep, persistent - and too often unmet. Recent research shows: ➡️ Significant mental health needs before homelessness ➡️ Lack of access to support services ➡️ Rising self-medication to help with symptoms

New Government statistics published today show a concerning increase in the clinical and social complexity of people facing homelessness. Hospital teams across the @pathwayuk.bsky.social Partnership Programme are seeing this complexity grow day by day 👇

In March, Pathways from Homelessness 2026 brought together 400 people to discuss shaping more inclusive health services to better support those most in need. We’re continuing the conversation in a new blog series. Read the first by @pathwayuk.bsky.social's CEO Alex Bax 👇 tinyurl.com/h4vmmm3s

Pathways from Homelessness 2026 is done. Huge thanks to our Lived Experience team, 400 colleagues and 65 expert speakers for your contributions to discussion, debate and shared learning. We hope you've been inspired, challenged and re-energised for the vital work you do in inclusion health.

Thank you to Juliet Mountford of @crisis-uk.bsky.social for chairing Housing for Recovery on day 2 of Pathways from Homelessness. Shocking research findings shared by Faye Sanders on the biological impact of poor quality housing, including early ageing of both children and adults.

Pathways from Homelessness day 2 is in full swing after our early breakfast panel on rethinking access to care led by @mkushel.bsky.social. Today's first plenary, planned and led by @pathwayuk.bsky.social's Lived Experience team, is about to start: Homelessness Is not a choice: bustin’ the myths.

We’ve had an excellent first day at Pathways from Homelessness 2026. Thank you to everyone who joined us, to our brilliant expert speakers and all our panel Chairs. There is much to reflect on, absorb and take action on together. We return tomorrow for part 2.

Today, the Government has published its long-awaited National Plan to End Homelessness. We’re delighted to see a firm commitment to ending the unacceptable practice of discharging people from hospital to the street. @pathwayuk.bsky.social has long called for this vital and overdue change.

Doctors are the experts on health, and what helps and harms our health. It’s therefore so powerful to see them standing up for the dangers faced by people experiencing homelessness and calling for action in the Government’s forthcoming homelessness strategy. We support this call.

We warmly welcome the news that, for the first time, housing status has been included in @nhsengland.bsky.social's Statement of Information on Health Inequalities, setting out what information Trusts and Integrated Care Boards should collect to meet their equalities duties.

📢📢📢 Out today, @pathwayuk.bsky.social's annual report shines a light on the huge achievements of the NHS hospital homelessness teams supported through our Pathway Partnership Programme (PPP) 👇 tinyurl.com/j2wes7xp

Here @pathwayuk.bsky.social, keeping the voices of people with personal experience of homelessness at the heart of our work is of highest priority. This includes enabling people to share their experiences to influence health service development and policy, as well as contributing to research.

Today we’re marking World Homelessness Day. The health inequalities associated with homelessness are so severe that lives are cut short by over 30 years, tragically many people dying from treatable conditions.

The latest @ourmoh.bsky.social 'Dying Homeless' report lays bare the tragedy of 1,611 people dying in the UK while homeless in 2024. We owe a debt of gratitude for MoH's work, going some way to make up for the invisibility of housing and homelessness in official mortality statistics and NHS data.

Thank you @homelessnessimpact.bsky.social for today’s Impact Forum on shifting homelessness from crisis to prevention. With latest statistics revealing a 20% year on year rise in rough sleeping, it was excellent to join colleagues to explore evidence-based interventions which will drive change.

📢 Final reminder! 📢 The call for papers for our Pathways from Homelessness 2026 Conference being held on 18th and 19th March closes on Friday 25 September. Thinking of submitting? Don't delay! Find out more and submit your work here 👇 tinyurl.com/2f59f7jy

[1/3] 👏 Great to see @dannybealesmp.bsky.social raise the invisibility of homelessness within healthcare data with the Minister for Patient Safety, Women’s Health and Mental Health during the Health Select Committee’s Inquiry into Community Mental Health Services.

Thank you @dannybealesmp.bsky.social for chairing today's excellent Parliamentary roundtable on the role of the NHS in tackling homelessness. Convened by @pathwayuk.bsky.social, MPs heard about 3 evidence-based interventions which must be included in the Cross-Government Homelessness Strategy 👇

Our CEO, Alex Bax, was delighted to attend the launch of the APPG for Ending Homelessness' excellent new report today. With the imminent publication of the Government's Homelessness Strategy, it's great to see his evidence on the role of healthcare in preventing homelessness reflected in the report.

We're delighted to announce that the topic of our next online Masterclass will be Oral Health and Homelessness. Join us on Tuesday 21st October from 15.30 to 17.00 BST to share learning and for rich discussion. Find out more & book your place here 👇 tinyurl.com/yutknp8e

Co-production is at the heart of what we do. People with experience of homelessness advise across all our work. This year Ross has been a key member of our #RHSChelsea show garden team - right from the start, through to the garden opening at its new home with @shekinahcharity.bsky.social.

We believe that everyone has the chance of a long and healthy life. That’s why we're proud to join the @healthequals.bsky.social coalition to support action on the building blocks of health and #MakeHealthEqual in the UK. Find out more ⤵️ tinyurl.com/42yny28j

A beautiful morning in Plymouth- what a day for the official launch of the RHS Chelsea @pathwayuk.bsky.social garden at Shekinah- wonderful way to celebrate collaboration for #inclusionhealth

The NHS 10 Year Plan is bold and ambitious, describing a vision of how all want to be treated – with continuous, accessible, integrated care. We welcome the Plan’s recognition of the poor health and early deaths of people facing homelessness as an ‘intolerable injustice’. 👇
