Rising long term sickness absences affect both individual wellbeing and the economy. It’s time for innovative solutions and a fresh approach. We’ve been working with Boston Consulting Group to look at why a whole-of-government approach is key and how it can be taken forward. 🧵1/10

ICYMI this episode with Layla McCay is fantastic. Lots of lovely people have asked me this week about how better they can show their allyship. Layla’s book is a superb tool for allies - I’d love to see people in publishing engage with it and better support their queer staff 🌈

As #Pride month draws to a close we're sharing a video with Chris Barlow, QUEER | Culture with Cas, Layla McCay, Mike Findlay-Agnew FRSA 📚✍🏳️‍🌈 and Nzube Ufodike, that discusses what Pride means to each of them.

Some thoughts on the #NHS legacy the government will inherit and what they will need to prioritise. NHS featured much less in the campaign than it should have but that will change as many unanswered Qs will now come to the fore. NHS Confederation linkedin.com/pulse/election… via LinkedIn

We asked our members "what could health leaders do, working with a new government, to improve patient outcomes"❓💭 Our chair Victor Adebowale and chief executive Matthew Taylor have written to Wes Streeting MP setting out their answers. nhsconfed.org/publications/l…

"Its not just the staff themselves. Thinking about mechanisms like how can you pool staff, how can you help the workforce to work across different sites?" Earlier Layla McCay spoke to BBC Breakfast about measures that could be taken to combat NHS waiting lists more quickly 👇📺

It's about efficiency and sustainability, not just asking for more money. As the post-election dust settles, Matthew Taylor speaks to Paul Corrigan CBE and Isabel Hardman for our #HealthOnTheLine podcast about the early announcements from the new government nhsconfed.org/podcast/avoidi…

I have published an Exec Summary slide-deck of my Health and Devo report from May to help with local conversations. Given the focus on an English Devolution Bill I thought it might be particularly useful today. Download it at the bottom of this webpage: nhsconfed.org/publications/p…

Nice to be in fine company for book announcements!
