We are joining forces with the @uniofwarwick and NHS organisations to tackle health inequalities in the region in a bid to improve life expectancy rates in Coventry. Figures from Coventry and Warwickshire's Integrated Care Services Health Inequalities Plan show that life expectancy in Coventry is lower than the national average. That is just one of the health inequalities the new Arden Health Partnership (AHP), which will bring university academics together with @nhsuhcw, @nhsswft, @CWPT_NHS, The Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (CW ICB) and @HealthInnovWM, to address local health challenges and apply for large scale funding. Together they aim to measurably improve health and wellbeing outcomes and reduce health inequalities across the region by researching and implementing innovative healthcare services to match the needs of the population, listening to and prioritising the needs of patients, engaging with diverse communities, developing integrated, preventative care models that work for patients and communities, empowering the healthcare workforce through training, innovation and multidisciplinary collaboration, advancing precision population health through the strategic use of health and care data and removing barriers between academia, business and healthcare. The AHP is a collaboration centred around the development of a brand-new HealthTech Campus in Solihull. Read more here: pulse.ly/dp2y7rvbfa Photo credit: University of Warwick

Outstanding work shared at our PCN CD And Aspiring CD Forum today by Unity PCN and their OTs Jo and Tara. Using population health data to provide proactive CGA assessments 💚#ARRS

@sarahhillman26 @UoBhealthsci @unibirm_CMH Congratulations Sarah!! You look so happy ☺️I sat my Biochemistry finals in that hall behind you….having flashbacks to G proteins and gibberelins 🫣

Excited to be starting today @UoBhealthsci @unibirm_CMH as a 125 fellow in Women’s health and Primary Care Clinical Associate Professor!

A call to action from Katie and Tim at @RotherValleyPCN on PCN collaboration in bid applications for community initiatives with colleagues in voluntary sector, public health, local authority - accessing novel funding from commercial sector @BestPracticeUK

Excellent presentation by @craiglistertcv on their Integrated Neighbourhood working approach to prevention - discussing the impact of decreasing physical inactivity and the tangible benefits on quality of life ( and easing access pressures in primary care!) @BestPracticeUK

@ImogenStaveley I can vouch that you always do this ☺️

The first five years of general practice can be equally rewarding and challenging. Finishing your training is an exciting time but transitioning from trainee to GP can sometimes be difficult. Find support with our First5 C&W Network. More - buff.ly/3K0g019

Thank you @cwtraininghub IMG network for inviting me to speak at the your first event. I feel humbled & privileged to be among inspiring leaders.What an incredible engagement from the audience! We talked equality, diversity, inclusion, speaking up and “We rise by lifting others”

@DrWillMurdoch I used Google Lens and that’s what it suggested too (who knew Google Lens was a thing?!)

@CatRoberts16 Juvenile blue tit?

Does anyone who what type of baby bird this is? Flew into my car when I opened the door and landed happily on my hand (flew straight back to the tree afterwards)

Discussion with my 11 yo this morning (*background of recent chats re dangers of people-pleasing) Me: We have the dentist today, make sure you do an extra good brush because it will make the dentist happy Child: I am not responsible for John’s (dentist) happiness 😂🙌🏻

@agclayland @YorksAmbulance @HSJ_Awards You are a very busy man Adam! Congratulations to you and the team 👏🏻👏🏻

Very proud to be with our Business Intelligence teams from @YorksAmbulance this evening for @HSJ_Awards #hsjdigitalawards

@Abi_Rimmer @DanLasserson ?

Anyone know any doctors/medical academics who are good on 'dealing with uncertainty'?

One of my elderly care home residents sang for me and gave me a hug today…. and it might be one of my favourite career memories to date 🥰

@SonaliKinra Go Sonali 🙌🏻

I can’t believe I am already thinking about applying again next year 🫣

This is appallingly shortsighted and will have serious implications on workforce welfare, retention, recruitment and morale. I normally try to apply Hanlon’s razor, but this is deeply concerning

Strategies are completely pointless. They take up all our time & energy preparing them, presenting them to boards & management but they just don’t make a difference. It’s STORIES that really make a difference. Develop a compelling story of place, of community & of relationships.

@Abi_Rimmer @DrEmmaNash

Hi all, I'm looking for a Dr (possibly a GP?) to write 300ish words on how to deal with/grieve the death of a patient, where the patient is someone you've had a professional relationship with for some time. Anyone interested? Shortish deadline 😬 Please email me arimmer@bmj.com
