@wesstreeting @BolaOwolabi8 @karinsmyth @RadhikaThakrar @Doctor_Emeka @IsabelThomson96 @StrokeAssocNews @PatientsAssoc @Rethink_ @LearningDisEng @NeuroAlliance p.s. Thanks @10DowningStreet for the selfie

@wesstreeting @BolaOwolabi8 @karinsmyth Finally great to meet so many fab people from medics @RadhikaThakrar & @Doctor_Emeka, to old colleagues @IsabelThomson96 and great charity reps @StrokeAssocNews @PatientsAssoc @Rethink_ @LearningDisEng @NeuroAlliance 5/5

@wesstreeting @BolaOwolabi8 Great to have @karinsmyth and Baroness Merron listening to people with so much lived experience of what needs to change - Ms Smyth said Starmer “determined to launch” the plan and shows “how important this agenda is for him & his government” 4/5 #KierStarmer #10yrplan

@wesstreeting @BolaOwolabi8 In his speech Kier Starmer said “NHS was broken not beaten” & compared this 10yr plan in its importance to the creation of the NHS - said he “felt very angry on behalf of NHS staff doing ops that didn’t need to be done” as so many children being operated on for decayed teeth 3/5

And good to talk to @wesstreeting about ensuring the national conversation really involves people are lesser heard from - he committed to engaging with grass root charities - and @BolaOwolabi8 I directed him your way! (No Wes pics so just another pic of me and Kier) 2/5 #PM

Great to be at the 10yr plan national conversation launch - Kier Starmer @10DowningStreet really listened to concerns about health inequalities, self management and admin burnout in people with long-term condition since covid #KierStarmer #10yearplan 1/5

If palliative care was fully funded, access to it universal, pain relief controlled by patient, mental health a key component of care, how great would be the need for #AssistedDying? Need to know this because otherwise we are talking about AD as the solution to a flawed system.

So the fire brigade has closed down Lambeth Bridge as there is a shark on the Thames - not yet seen it but apparently someone tried to swim with it #shark #Thames

Shortly after my double lung transplant I called my nurse in to say my new lungs weren’t working properly as I couldn’t @ hear them - turns out lungs are meant to silently get on with their job without rasping away 😂

Proud of @HealthwatchE research published today - coverage across TV, radio & print. Public wants more services from pharmacies but closures causing real disruption Thread by @SebRees1 on our findings/recommendations below & coverage by @denis_campbell https://t.co/AaxhQt1dfI

@DHSCgovuk @GillWaltonRCM @NHSOrganDonor @NHSProviders @julianhartley1 @karinsmyth @NVTweeting @GypsyTravellerM @AGoodDeath @mariecurieuk @FionaCLoud @A_BBearfield @MiriamLevin1 @wesstreeting @SKinnock Overall I heard hope &optimism but a sense from VCSEs that we need to see action soon, with a clear implementation trajectory from planned 10yr plan publication in Spring 2025 - but @DHSCgovuk & @wesstreeting doubled down on importance of patient voice and patient outcomes 7/8

@DHSCgovuk @GillWaltonRCM @NHSOrganDonor @NHSProviders @julianhartley1 @karinsmyth @NVTweeting @GypsyTravellerM @AGoodDeath @mariecurieuk @FionaCLoud @A_BBearfield @MiriamLevin1 Listening to @wesstreeting talking up social care after an election on which Labour was silent- @SKinnock promising movement soon on better pay conditions for adult social care followed by an engagement on the issue that will “run parallel” and “dovetail” with the 10yr plan

@DHSCgovuk @GillWaltonRCM @NHSOrganDonor @NHSProviders @julianhartley1 @karinsmyth @NVTweeting @GypsyTravellerM @AGoodDeath @mariecurieuk @FionaCLoud @A_BBearfield Amazing network opps where you meet people who get you thinking about new ideas, new solutions and new collaborations - my favourite meet cute being @MiriamLevin1 on a conversation struck up over her fab red boots and ending in social care citizen juries #LabourConference2024 5/8
