SO HAPPY TO SHARE THIS. Blood sweat and tears. Thanks to all who contributed. Outcomes from the adult arm of the NHS England Closed-Loop pilot. Will share the key findings tomorrow… @WilmotEmma @drpratikc @TomasPGriffin @ABCDiab @DTN_UK @parthaskar diabetesjournals.org/care/article/d…

@LucyPearce13 @adamgordon1978 @age_uk I’d second that - he was caring and kind and supportive of all.

@adamgordon1978 @age_uk I worked with Richard in Portsmouth many years ago. He was a very gentle and caring physician, I had much respect for him. So very sad to hear this news 😞

Dorset County Hospital are looking for a short or long term locum geriatrician, consultant or registrar level. Duties to cover an inpatient ward and support our front door frailty service. Excellent rates and a beautiful place to be 😎 DM me if interested. Retweets welcome 🙏🏻

@CKHUK Thanks for the recommendation- I loved the books and was worried it wouldn’t do them justice!

@LucyPearce13 Completely agree - the IT system is a really blunt tool and doesn’t allow you to set long term aspirations vs short term goals

@Ad_Nicholls Getting through the week in one piece feels aspirational currently. The “goal” I have come up with will hopefully make this easier. I think I just object to the binary nature of success or failure where goals are concerned. Why can’t it be a process?

Doing appraisal prep. Have to suggest “development goals”. Why do we have to do this every year? Is it not enough to turn up and do a good job? My only suggestion is “be less exhausted all the time”. Probably won’t be acceptable 🤷🏻‍♀️

@anitahynch @NJJohno @HealthFdn I’d argue the biggest issue is that integrated care projects usually uncover a vast amount of unmet need

@NJJohno @HealthFdn Thank you. It’s on my reading list! (Although you have rather given away the ending there)

Ahead of the planned national roll-out of Integrated Care Systems in England in April 2022, we share evidence on the short- and long-term effect of #IntegratedCare programmes on emergency hospital use. Read our #ImprovementAnalytics Unit analysis ⬇️ health.org.uk/publications/l…

@jamesewer Feels like handover! Or maybe that’s morning mirth..

@CKHUK As you know - that was a tough moment for me too. Always happy to talk though my experience and reflections if helpful.

@sjkmacklin Have a great holiday!

That’s how to start a holiday 👍. Morning run before a week end of likely over-eating and family celebration (was followed by some final work jobs so I can switch off happily & totally now). Good luck team!

@elinlowri I’ve tried both, and agree there is something uncomfortable about people doing things for you when it’s easier to do it yourself

In "high-control" workplaces, information gets pushed up to authority: senior leaders make decisions on the basis of information. In organisations that enable their people this is flipped: decision-making authority is pushed down to those with the information. By @sketchplanator

@LesleyMDedman @CIndependents I too have worked with @sam_crowe27 and he has great knowledge and integrity and I would always value his opinion

Perhaps I should add that like Mr Burns I too am an elected member @CIndependents but would certainly not think my own view on tiers, even as a former Healthcare professional, superior to Sam Crowe's

Disappointing to read Conor Burns denigration of Sam Crowe, Director of Public Health Dorset and BCP Councils @Bournemouthecho Seemingly Mr Burns feels his knowledge of Covid-19 is superior to Mr Crowes, as he is an elected member.

@HeatherLDrew In all the time we worked together - did anything work out quite as we planned?! Monday brings a new week.

Well today didn't pan out as I hoped it would, but hey pick.myself up,brush myself down and start all over again

We don’t value our unsung role models as much as we should - but do place greater value in position - despite us all recognising that authenticity is regardless of title.

Lessons for all of us - 2020 is looking up.

@CKHUK Get well soon Carl!

@lightning_ss I hope Andy is ok too (good for him you missed?)

One should definitely not miss when hitting things with hammers ... ouch
