Our latest report Bevan Commission brings together the thinking of experts, professionals and people in Wales - it makes sense ! — Now let’s make it work - together we can - - Wales can ! #health #Innovation


I am about to join Don Berwick for a masterclass about reducing waste and improving quality in our health service. Thankyou to Bevan Commission - this is a pinch me moment, I can’t believe that I’m going to meet a man who I have admired and quoted for years.


I'm engaging in outstanding discussions with leaders of change in health & care from across the globe at #Quality2024. A big theme is how relationships & relatedness are increasingly becoming the primary focus of change methodologies. Read this blog from North East and North Cumbria NHS on how a theory


I'm at #Quality2024 live, listening to Amy Edmondson talking about principles from her book “The Right Kind of Wrong – The Science of Failing Well”. Amy differentiates three kinds of failures in organisations: 1) Basic failures: caused by carelessness or ignorance 2) Complex


Another excellent article about the book by Amy Edmondson "Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well". In an interview with Harvard Business Review, Amy says experimentation and risk-taking are crucial for organisational success but they should be enabled within a coherent framework.




Getting rid of stupid stuff of course originated with Don Berwick and Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) England should start with health ministers, civil servants and NHSE leading by example Wes Streeting Victoria Atkins @ConfedMatthew @julianhartley1

How about some radiotherapy for early Dupuytren’s disease? Exploring the topic with Dr Richard Schaffer during our recent Mersey Hand and Wrist meeting in Liverpool. Thanks Stephen Lipscombe and @PrashJesudason for organising!


What an amazing performance by @michaelSheen and cast in #Nye at the Wales Millennium Centre. The Bevan Commission team were so proud to attend and would encourage others to see the really powerful and emotional story of the establishment of our #NHS

what does Wes Streeting mean when he refers to the NHS as broken? Fixing the health care delivery system must include social care, a long term strategy for tackling the root causes of current challenges, and avoid changing the NHS funding model bmj.com/content/386/bm…



Let’s work together Bevan Commission to help find solutions fit for the future.

Brilliant to be at the over 70s and 75s World Cup hosted here in Wales this week. Bevan Commission - An amazing way to keep fit and healthy in older age. Brilliant for your physical, mental and social well being. Come and see for yourselves — and get involved !!

Great to be participating Bevan Commission in the IHI International Forum and hearing from a range of insightful people including our Bevan Commissioner Don Berwick.
