The shared endeavour of health and care is beautifully summed up in this Rosamund Snow quote β€˜I realised that patients can see things in research that clinicians can’t because we think to look in new places, and we spot discrepancies that doctors take for granted.’

It feels v important that we hold to account not only the thugs smashing windows on our high streets, but also the mainstream media, politicians and commentators whose relentless and unfeeling hostile noise on immigration created the conditions in which fascists feel emboldened.

What makes you do something differently? And keep doing it, even when it's tough? A business case is necessary, but rarely enough. There's so much power to be unleashed when the head & the heart are in the same place, but it's hard to talk about feelings at work. Worth it though.

Post-CofE service refreshments - tea & a custard cream. Farzana Hussain takes it up a notch after mosque! Seriously though, it's so easy to demystify stuff, and we do indeed have far more in common than that which divides us. Thanks Farzana.

Fantastic thread here! Also an excellent example of the problem of 'accretion' in policy. New policy often tries to 'fix' problems created by old policy, not the underlying problem.

this is v thoughtful thread. we need a contemporary history department of NHS policymaking to keep reminding us what went wrong before and what we vowed to do to stop it happening again

How change happens, working with politicians, the hope that grows when you focus on the assets in a community... Claire Kennedy and I covered an awful lot in a short space of time! Have a listen, tell us what you think?

I have never forgotten & will never forget leading an internal investigation into a homicide conducted by a patient at the MH Trust where I was a director. Decommissioning the Assertive Outreach team (badly) was a key factor. This thread sets out such important learning.

Earlier this year @jessRmorley blew people away at our @nuffieldtrust policy summit with her brilliant talk on AI and the NHS. Here she condenses her thoughts into a great guest blog for us - a must-read. Thanks Jess!

Great article. β€œGood leadership is a team sport, and that applies not just to the leadership team within an organisation, but also to leadership across a system” Yes. And there are no prizes for the cleanest shorts.
