I've been thinking about how the annual reports of Sheffield's teaching hospitals were used to present charitable spending in the early NHS. Photographs, graphs and infographics communicated efficient spending on improving patients' experiences. #NorthernHistory #NHS #HistMed.
In Part 3 of the Hospital Charity takeover, @Han_Blythe analyses United Sheffield Hospitals’ annual reports and explores the boundary between charity and state-funded healthcare in the first decades of the NHS

The Gov has been making announcements about mental illness & employment. Debates about psychological recovery have long centered on work. I recently published an article about such concerns in late-19th and early 20th centuries.

Recently been on quite a few train journeys where there hasn’t even been an attempt at WiFi provision. Looking at you @CrossCountryUK today. Being charged full (very large) prices from not full services is really irritating. Would have been nice to get some work done!.

Absolutely, footnotes please! So readable, so informative.
Small world problem but why oh why do books use endnotes + Harvard referencing system? Just forces step 1, go to end of book for note then step 2, flick to reference list for actual reference. Even harder if it is an ebook #bringbackthefootnote.

Similarly, I find ‘congestion’ a funny non-explanation. It’s a rail service! Please explain the congestion 😂.
train operators: “we apologise for the delay of this service, the delay is due to the train being delayed at an earlier point in time”.

Another train journey, another ridiculous delay. Rail infrastructure is actually unusable at the minute.

I find the officious reminders that a flat phone battery is no excuse for not having a ticket to hand particularly annoying. It would be much easier to keep a phone charged if we weren’t waiting around for delayed trains and there enough working plug sockets.
Everywhere you go on trains you’re vocally reminded what to do and what not to do. You must have a ticket, no smoking, keep your bags out of the aisle, report anything suspicious. The travelling public largely keeps its side of the bargain, not sure it runs both ways.
