Two people who post the best, wisest (& often most challenging) content on Twitter about leading change are whatsthepont & Paul Taylor. Here's the latest on 'ripping up your culture change road map' with links to some great content from them both: whatsthepont.blog/2022/08/21/rip…

If you'd do a great job evaluating the implementation of a key NHS-based change project, please read on, or flag up the opp to a colleague. Thank you!

Just enjoy this energy! We could quibble about some of the claims (e.g. some actions were in hand before New Labour arrived in power etc). But this is surely one hugely hard-working politician who did his utmost to use his position to see 'levelling up' across the UK he loves.

At Care Opinion we have always believed patient feedback should be taken seriously. And now surprising new research shows online patient feedback identifies safety issues missed or ignored by staff

As the first person in my family to have attended university myself, it feels great to be adding my Autumn Term The Brilliant Club tutoring commitments to my diary this morning thebrilliantclub.org/the-scholars-p…

Sometimes one of the most revealing things about making Freedom of Information requests is when you think it will be easy for the org to fulfill, but it turns out they aren't actually tracking the thing you've asked about so it takes ages.

Cans of worms everywhere.

Please comment below, DM us or email your thoughts to [email protected] all feedback is welcome!

So I saw #fantastic leadership at all levels, I heard and saw the enthusiasm for the changes and improvements from frontline teams and felt their pride and commitment, but most importantly the engagement with all staff and service users that has brought about those improvements

There was a great response yesterday when I tweeted some tools for collaboration from Hargraves Institute. They have also produced a free eBook on building teams that thrive. It contains some excellent tools. You have to give your email address to download it: hargraves.in/thriving-teams

Next month I’m presenting at an event. Looking for examples of positive practice in maternity services where ‘optimising biological processes’ during pregnancy, labour and birth is happening. Respecting physiology regardless of mode of birth…would love to hear from you! 🙏🏽

Let’s be clear- current staffing levels in maternity services are the safety risk here. Fantastic to hear that the CQC Press Office are alive to this & are engaging with staff to understand the incredible pressures they are under at present…🧵
