@CormacRussell Omg so right- the obsessive link between 'health' and professionalised 'Services'. We've gone way too far to commodify 'health activities' rather than thinking more simply of community & living a good life... Best wishes to you

An incredibly eloquent letter that I’m sure will have impact across the UK health service and beyond. Proud to know Hilary and very grateful to all these women for speaking out. rcplondon.ac.uk/guidelines-pol…

@Samfr True, but then again I challenge you to come up with laws or a constitution that will survive over 200 years. They didn’t do badly. 😇

Going to be fun when Trump wins the election from prison and then pardons himself.

Yes, I agree. I have found that Human Learning Systems @SystemsHuman is a very useful paradigm to explore
Helen Bevan@HelenBevan

Very often in healthcare, we make a massive effort to improve our delivery performance by changing our processes and practices. We should probably start much higher up in our knowledge structure by considering our paradigm - our beliefs about how to make change happen. If we do that, we start to frame the problem in different ways & adopt different principles for improvement. Graphic: adapted from @profhamel

The more you know, the more you realize how much you don’t know. The less you know, the more you think you know everything. Knowledge is humbling. Ignorance is arrogant.

An institutional radical asks ‘what is the community alternative to my service and how can I resource it?’ They precipitate action that’s led BY communities. Most reformers lack the courage this requires, they ask: ‘what can we do WITH communities to coproduce better services.

Another great blog. Bryony’s blogs are one of my favourite reads…. I dislike the word transformation, I much prefer the idea of incremental improvement, largely driven by the people doing the work with people they are helping, with managers/senior leaders getting out of the way.

Great blog “let’s drop the term prevention completely, and focus instead on what it is that we want to promote …A sense of belonging. Friendships and relationships. Love. Liberty. Identity. Meaning and purpose. Equal rights and equality of opportunity….”

So sorry to hear this. I breastfed both my kids in all sorts of places including on the tube and in board meetings, where my lovely male colleagues were very supportive. Keep feeding everywhere!
