Verbatim
“A lot of readmissions [happen] because patients are not in the right frame of mind when they do leave us, so you try to bombard them with everything, all the side effects, what time to take them. And sometimes they get home and they can't remember that, and that could lead to a readmission. Whereas if we've referred them, that prevents that admission happening.”

Recent UK press coverage of their topics, not necessarily citing them directly.
Professors, researchers and think-tank analysts quoted on the strength of their research rather than a clinical role. Citations are counted by an automated scan of UK press coverage and may be incomplete. Roles, biographies and contact details are researched and human-reviewed before they appear here; anything not yet reviewed is simply absent rather than shown unverified.
