World leaders such as Carney and Macron are in Davos standing up to Trump and in doing so are displaying genuine leadership and statesmanship. Keir Starmer stayed home while his dreadful chancellor is entrusted to represent the UK! Wtf??

Do you know your outcome data? NCIP is useful for urologists because it turns routinely collected data into something you can use to guide improved care: • Benchmarking: see where your unit (and consultant-level activity) sits vs peers. • Service-facing outcomes: LOS, day-case rates, readmissions, complications, revisions/re-ops and mortality—plus the ability to drill into episode detail when something looks “off”. • Track change over time: pathway tweaks (stones, enhanced recovery, day-case expansion, follow-up redesign) should show up in trends, not just anecdotes. • Stronger business cases: variation and avoidable bed days are hard to ignore when the numbers are clear. However, NCIP is only as good as your coding and your department may also lose revenue if this isn’t right. If volumes/outcomes don’t reflect reality, don’t just shrug at the dashboard—engage your local clinical coding team: • agree how key procedures/diagnoses are documented • review a handful of real cases together • fix recurring documentation gaps in op notes/discharge summaries • use NCIP methodology notes so you’re comparing like with like Bottom line: NCIP isn’t about guesswork. It’s about data visibility—and knowing your data is what lets you improve care effectively. (It also provides nice downloadable summaries for appraisal) Email the team at england.ncip@nhs.net for your login details @NHSGIRFT gettingitrightfirsttime.co.uk/wp-content/upl…

So today, maybe do something kind -give way to someone in the grumpy Xmas traffic, let the person with 3 items go in front at the till, give a compliment or just a smile. Sign the #braincancerjustice petition & be kind, be brave, be silly and be honest Happy Birthday Laura 🎂

Laura should have turned 26 today I kid myself that she’s having the time of her life with new friends in some new city But in reality I held her hand while she died at home, in a borrowed hospital bed - aged just 23 & 5 months. Her loss is so huge, it blocks out the sun.

My first two-comedian weekend is nearly over. Cheerful, toothy scouser @JohnBishop100 last night, and at @The_Lowry theatre tonight, cantankerous, curmudgeonly misanthrope @TheRealJackDee That’s quite enough for 2025.

Tomorrow will be tough, but we’ll be running with Laura in our hearts & she was the toughest of all. Gracie is doing her best with the restrictions of her Ehlers Danlos diagnosis but I know how determined she is to finish so fingers crossed! @ChiMarathon #BeMoreLaura 🌈

You have to feel for Gracie, between signing up for @ChiMarathon & running it next week, she’s been diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos syndrome AND a heart abnormality! She’s determined to finish, but it’s going to be painful. Please sponsor her if you can ❤️ justgiving.com/campaign/25in2…
