This week on CCRadio we have an episode of Violet and Freddy’s psychology series Tearing Us Apart. The theme is appropriate for now—Isolation!

This was recorded before the coronavirus pandemic started, but it still seems relevant to play now.

Healthwatch Camden thinks that it is vital that work on Sustainability and Transformation plans listen to what local people have to say. Some of the proposals seem alarmingly likely to lead to privatisation of the NHS as well as to cuts in services.

We’ve found a link to survey from NHS Support Federation on Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships

Anna Wright tells how Healthwatch Camden was about to use its powers to visit and check on the quality of local care homes when it heard that ‘Independent Age’ was keen to develop indicators to help ordinary people to assess the quality of care homes they might think of using. The resulting collaboration was so successful that Independent Age is recommending that all MPs get their local Healthwatch to inspect and report on their local care homes using the eight quality indicators that they have developed.

This week there’s only one recommendation from CCRadio for what to do: go down to the Fiddler’s Elbow on Tuesday evening for a blues jam. If you’re a musician you can put yourself on the list to play.
Thanks to Rossi for putting this week’s show together.
