Clearly the referendum result is eclipsing everything else at the moment, but there has also been quite a lot of health and wellbeing policy news in the last two weeks, albeit rather less momentous. A lot emerged from the conferences of the NHS Confederation, BMA and Royal College of Nursing but that was mostly motions rather than anything which would necessarily lead to action.There is a...

A solution to a knotty problem sprang into my mind last week. I was on my way to the local Health and Wellbeing Board and pondering why it has had so little effect.
