18 months ago these #Bradford streets were choking with fumes from buses and cars. Not now. Ignore the haters with agendas, Bradford is beautiful and I am very proud to work for its people.

On the warmest night of the year, the owl was back outside my window, making a ‘whoo-oo’ sound like it’s repeatedly just discovered its won £50 on a fecking scratch card.

You’ve only to walk onto a hospital ward anywhere in the UK & see the spectacular mess, misunderstanding and misuse of DNR and the attitudes that underpin its use, to know that the #AssistedDyingBill is so deeply concerning. That social work has been so silent on this is shameful.

Our Practice Model training today. Lots about reflection and risk. The risk of us. Of our intervention. Of our restrictions, lawful and otherwise. Of our dominant perspective. Of our bias. Of our influence. Of our systems and of our ‘need’ for conformity.

This is literally the tone of 1933 Germany but we are now so fucked up we don’t even label it racism.
Walk down almost any high street in England. There’s a vape shop, run by a foreign man who can barely speak English. There’s a Turkish barber, run by a foreign man who can barely speak English. There’s an ‘asian’ grocery store, run by a foreign man who can barely speak English.

Of all the texts that underpinned my social work education, Mental Health, Race and Culture is my most valued. I remember thinking I couldn’t believe that I’d found an actual page-turner! Fernando later became the mainstream of my ASW (AMHP) training too. I’m grateful to him.
Suman Fernando RIP a giant figure in terms of psychiatry, anti racism and equality and gentle and kind with it. he will be greatly missed we are much in his debt .

We should all be exceptionally concerned that #Reform are running councils, including children’s and adults services. Mentioning the age of the elected councillors is ageist and unhelpful. And surely their vile, divisive politics is enough reason to be worried sick anyway?

Is the thing ultimately about AI and social work whether we believe in humanity, with every single one of its flaws, over highly intelligent process? Despite seemingly everyone telling me that AI is to be welcomed, embraced and championed, I’m kinda wedded to the humanity stuff.

The technology changes across the NHS have left millions behind. With just about every GP visit or hospital outpatient appointment I come away thinking ‘yes, I can (just about) do that online, but what about those who cannot?’. It’s pretty shameful that we haven’t cared.
'What about those patients who aren't tech savvy?'. Health Secretary Wes Streeting wants the use of the NHS App to be 'almost as joyful as using Netflix' with plans for more test results, screening invitations and appointment reminders in England.
