I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well. Neither do you. Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS. I think this is a national scandal. Please RT if you do too 🙏
In this interview with @skynewsniall, Dr Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) emphasises the need to prioritise quality end of life care. Regardless of Parliament's decision on assisted dying, fixing the funding of our struggling hospice and end of life care system is essential.

When I vote I don't want unaffordable tax cuts. I want hospital beds. Libraries reopening. Trains that run on time. Kids who aren't too hungry to learn. Rivers that don't run with slurry. Local councils not bankrupted. Politicians who don't venally line their own pockets.

Depressing. NHS has lower ratio of managers than other industries & smaller admin spend compared to other health systems globally. Efficient & productive service needs experts to streamline processes, align incentives, & create environment for clinicians to focus on patients.
“The Tories said its plans - expected to costs £1bn per annum - would be paid for by cutting the number of NHS managers to pre-pandemic levels and halving management consultancy spend across government.”

If we want to build learning organisations, we need a data-driven culture. Yet in a recent study across multiple industries, 6 in 10 leaders said they haven’t been able to establish a data-driven culture. It's mostly not to do with (technical) data systems. It's to do with people

Team "scaling fallacy": The mistaken belief that by expanding the size of a team we will get more work done, more speedily. Leaders are often too optimistic about the impact on project costs & outcomes because we overestimate the value of adding team members while
