Thank you Amit Arora for sharing powerful stories + evidence for how to combat deconditioning at NHS East of England medical director/chief nurse forum this afternoon. “There’s no ward like home” particularly for older people, so let’s keep our patients up & moving & home asap!!





Thank you Sonya, Alex, Cheryl and the rest of the Norfolk and Waveney Mind team for welcoming me to the beautiful Berhel st #REST cafe today. Brilliant to see firsthand some of the support you are offering to people in crisis. Lovely coffee too!

Smashing to hear from local residents & staff at the brilliant Opening Doors charity at Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care System (ICS) board meeting today.

That man and machine can sequence a genome faster than I can say “great lab coat”!! Great tour of Quadram Institute and UEA with NHS England colleagues today.

Delighted to meet some of the NNUH Paediatric Surgery & Urology team and have a look around the wonderful new children’s operating theatres Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals last week.

Thanks to Integrated Care 24 NCH&C EEAST Ambulance Service Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care System (ICS) for superb learning event on urgent care coordination.
