As the bin strikes carry on, the inequalities in Birmingham are showing in even starker contrast then usual. My two cents on this in today's FT: ft.com/content/d33719… Aston University PR Aston University

The black box imposed by industry around code and software for #healthcare #AI is one of my principal concerns with its use. We don't need to look far to find examples of how badly buying and using a product blind can be. Exhibit A: Horizon bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Your regular reminder that #inequality hurts our most vulnerable. An unequal society is an unhealthy society. theguardian.com/inequality/202…

It was too hot last night and #SpawnOfPaton couldn't sleep, so she was downstairs with me watching #LIOLI. Maybe it was the heat, but her understanding of the show is Kirstie Allsopp is married to the woman homeowner and Phil is forcing the owners from their homes! 😂 Kid logic!

At the IME Conference, kicking off with a discussion of history of #MedicalEthics and its future. My take-home: as ever, #ethics is about people. People are messy, so ethics is messy and we must always engage in that messiness to get to the answer of what is ethical in medicine.

Well, my book, Understanding Health, Illness and Society is with the publishers and in production. Coming early 2026!!! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go sleep for a week.
