Welcome
Welcome to edition 9 of Insight, our final edition of 2025.
As we enter the final weeks of the year, we are looking back at 12 months defined by substantial change in the health and care system. 2025 was characterised by key strategic shifts, including funding changes across Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), the planned abolition of NHS England, and the launch of the new 10-year plan. This plan marks a profound shift, requiring every part of the system to adapt and deliver on new, long-term national objectives.
Despite these demanding dynamics, it has been a busy year of successful transformation for patients and the public across the UK. I take enormous pride in the resilience and unwavering commitment of our team, whose dedication ensures we remain on call to support our clients and partners, one transformative step at a time.
In this edition, we’re sharing several news items and blogs, including our HSJ award win, a series of powerful blogs for ADHD Awareness Month, and an update on our successful pilot project for opt-out BBV testing.
I want to offer my thanks to colleagues in the NHS and across the health and care sector who have worked tirelessly this year. And to my talented team at TPHC, who have delivered incredible work across the system.
If you celebrate, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, and to all, I wish you a restful end of the year and quality time with your loved ones. We look forward to seeing you in 2026.
End of the year wrap up
In our 2025 wrapped blog, we share some of our highlights from across our TPHC teams delivered this year.

Transforming lives: celebrating a win and finalist spot at the HSJ Awards 2025
We were delighted that at the HSJ Awards 2025, our team and our partners were recognised for two major initiatives that are reshaping healthcare outcomes for children and young people.
It was a night of celebration as we took home the award for Reducing Inequalities and Improving Outcomes for Children and Young People, while also being recognised as a finalist for NHS Communications Initiative of the Year.

Top tips, personal stories and the future of ADHD treatment
To celebrate ADHD Awareness Month, we released a series of ADHD themed blogs, covering everything from reimagining adult ADHD treatment and care, personal stories from our team, such as Zoe pictured here, to top tips for inclusive line management.
CPD accreditation for learning and development opportunities
Our 4-day ‘Empowered Leadership: Creating Inclusive and Effective Workplaces’ training has now been CPD-accredited.
With 1 in 3 people leaving their roles due to poor relationships with their line manager, it’s always a good time to embed effective line management.
Whether you are an existing line manager, a new line manager in your first six months, or someone about to move into their first management role, this course empowers you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to cultivate a supportive, inclusive, and high-performing work environment.

Positive update for opt-out Bloodborne Virus (BBV) testing pilot
For World Hepatitis Testing Week (17-24 November), we released an update on the success of a pioneering opt-out Bloodborne Virus (BBV) primary care testing pilot in South West London.
The first phase took place at a specialist homeless practice in east London, and then scaled up to a second trial at Brigstock Medical Practice. Over a period of three months, over 1,500 patients had been tested.
Learn more about the outcomes of the trial so far, and what comes next, in our news story.
Thrive LDN collaborations and partnerships supporting Londoners
This quarter, Thrive LDN announced the launch of a new digital tool called Signpost to support the health and wellbeing of asylum seekers and refugees in London.
