My article for @ConversationUK on the Ten Year Health Plan for England. So many ideas (and some good ones at that) but precious little about how to implement them. #NHSPlan #FitForTheFuture #NHS @unibirmingham @BHPComms @_HSMCentre theconversation.com/nhs-ten-year-p…

What happened after the parade shouldn’t be allowed to overshadow what came before it. Sunday and Monday were unbelievable — outpourings of joy, pride and togetherness from Reds across the land. The stuff we’ve dreamed of. What followed could’ve been a whole lot worse. Thankfully, it wasn’t — and, as ever, our people pulled together. We should reclaim those days, and those moments. I’m grateful my son and his mates are OK — they were too close for comfort, and he knows three of the injured. 🙏🏼 Here’s Alisson in a peak moment of joy. That — and sharing it all with the people that matter — is what I’ll be holding onto.

In our response to the 10 Year Health Plan, @DrJudithSmith @Bowercpcman @TaraJLamont & @drcatchatfield highlight how HSR can drive better health outcomes, reduce inequalities and improve care delivery across the NHS Read our full response here ⬇️ hsruk.org/hsruk/viewpoin…

High staff turnover is associated with higher patient mortality. I’ve said it before & will say it again. If you don’t care for the carers they cannot care for their patients. #NHS bmj.com/content/387/bm…

@medicalmodelbri @rcgp @Parody_RCGP @DAUK_GP @DrNeenaJha @doctor_oxford @doctor_katie ARRS will not be cut with the current NHS England board in place They think it’s working despite the 31000 staff adding just 40m appts for £1.4bn Compared to 27000 GPs doing 160m appts Cost-benefit not being done at the highest levels & they actually don’t know how it works

Why do GPs choose to work 'at the Deep End' – in areas of socioeconomic deprivation? Research shows it can be clinically stimulating and rewarding, as well as challenging. doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2… @danielnbutler @nigelhart #DeepEndGP #HealthInequalities #PrimaryCare
