Remote monitoring promises to transform NHS care. So why do so many initiatives struggle to scale and sustain in practice? 🤔
Our latest blog from @decidecentre.bsky.social argues that the challenge isn't just proving what works, it's generating evidence that supports real-world adoption decisions.

Adopting technology-enabled remote monitoring in the NHS: generating evidence that is fit for purpose
As the NHS expands technology-enabled remote monitoring, decision-makers need evidence that reflects real-world implementation. This blog from the DECIDE project team examines how rapid evaluation app...

“The PAC’s inquiry heard that CCUS may not capture as much carbon as expected, with international examples showing that Government’s expectations for its performance are far from guaranteed,” it stated.
“[We note] recent scientific evidence that producing liquid natural gas, which will be used to run several CCUS projects, leaks more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than previously thought. This could undermine the rationale for pursuing certain schemes.”
A 2022 report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis concluded that five of the world’s largest 13 CCUS projects are under-performing by at last 20% and as must as 50%.
The PAC wants Ministers to use the development of the forthcoming Carbon Budget Delivery Plan to assess whether, instead of investing in CCUS, it may be more prudent to support direct emissions reductions in high-carbon industries. The Plan should also include new CCUS deployment targets and provide clarity on support for smaller CCUS at dispersed sites, in the PAC’s opinion.
PAC chair Geoffrey Clifton-Brown said: “Government is gambling on carbon capture technology becoming foundational to achieving net zero.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:66lbtw2porscqpmair6mir37/bafkreifp56vioblufj7aphgs3h6q4p5hgtmcbxvr37u2wwjzkpa7fhchli)
