Really great to have been part of the inaugural board meeting for South East London’s Integrated Care System. Exciting times ahead!
Abieyuwa from @SLondonCitizens shared a beautiful reflection at the inaugural @SELondonICS meeting today “Our experience is that we can only make change when we work together. It’s the power of relationships, that builds trust between us all.”

Watching from the peripheries as a paper gets rejected with debate as to where to go next. It is good and could change patient care. Wondering whether we are getting priorities right between patient benefit, pressure to publish in high impact journals and publishing profits

@fairnessfdn @MichaelMarmot @JoBibbyTHF @cthomasippr @ButtJabeer .@MichaelMarmot: The opening line of "The Health Gap" is "Why treat people and send them back to the conditions that made them sick?" We hear NHS is over-stretched, but inequalities in health are mostly not due to access to quality care – social determinants of health are key

Why are we all pretending that no one’s been standing at Premier League matches for the last 27 years?

How can you improve access for patients needing urgent advice in rheumatology? By enabling direct booking for appointments our patients can guarantee a call with a nurse within 24 hours. Fantastic work from @gstt Rheumatology nursing team. @RheumatologyUK
