Peripheral Patients? A call to action on Peripheral Arterial Disease
Tony Hockley
It is clear that PAD lacks prioritisation within health systems. This research shows that knowledge processes and incentives that are essential to the delivery of good care are almost universally insufficient in comparison to the impact of the disease. There are, however, localised examples of improvements in PAD diagnosis and treatment, driven by committed local leadership. When combined with evidence from other areas of health care improvement it may be possible to identify useful proposals for change.

UK Offshore Wind Energy: What role for competition?
Tony Hockley & Frank Vibert
This paper compares Government policy linking renewable energy subsidies to local jobs to the experience of the air transport sector in tackling the effects of state aid on the European market. It argues that jobs created in this way may be unsustainable, and that the Government should focus on promoting competition at all stages in the supply chain, to ensure that the UK offshore wind sector is viable once subsidies end. It argues that uncertainty around the UK commitment of offshore wind energy beyond 2020 makes companies reluctant to commit to new investments. Policies that generate confidence in future market capacity and that support disruptive innovation in a competitive supply chain are essential to the creation of lasting jobs in offshore wind energy (Published by LSE Enterprise, July 2015)

NHS Safe Staffing: Not just a number
Tony Hockley & Sean Boyle
Our analysis highlights the risks to patient care when hospital ward staffing falls short of the roster. Despite developments in electronic rostering hospitals have resisted using automated systems to track their staff. Recent unannounced hospital inspections have found serious staff shortfalls against rosters. This worrying feature of NHS care sometimes reveals itself in payroll overspends that find their way into the public domain. Staffing accounts for the bulk of NHS costs, so that minor failures have significant financial implications. In this report we highlight the potential benefits of implementing robust systems to track the deployment of hospital staff in real time, to patients, to the workforce, and to hospital management. 21st January 2014.
