A short piece I wrote for @HSJnews on why improvement in the NHS so often comes in bursts — and the governance behaviours that seem to matter most when pressure rises. hsj.co.uk/quality-and-pe…

Great to have our senior leaders in our DMS huddle! Their presence made our team feel valued, heard, and motivated to keep pushing forward. Celebrating small wins and sharing insights together strengthens our culture and drives continuous improvement.

Netcall, @e18innovation and @UHSussex are shortlisted in HSJ Partnership Awards 2025! The nomination is for transforming outpatient pathways in the category of Patient engagement and experience initiative of the year. buff.ly/4g8muJW #patientengagement #PatientHub #NHS

Great day at the UCNH pilot with SCFT, SECAmb & UHSx colleagues! Reviewing 999 cases, optimising services like UCR Virtual Ward pathway & SDEC. Face-to-face teamwork = stronger relationships & better patient care 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 #UnscheduledCare #NavigationHub

@drsalwamalik @UHSussex Lovely photo. Hope you all had a great night. Great work and a well deserved celebration

Table 54 troublemakers at #hsjawards for @UHSussex ED. Having a great time and honoured to be here! You alright, Wes? #westweeting

@RCEMvp_Salwa @sianberry @UHSussex @RCollEM Thanks Salwa. Always lovely to see you and colleagues. Thanks for all your hard work in very difficult circumstances.

@OSN_UHSussex @wanderbelai @UHSussex @myuhsussex @netcesia2 @LoveLorayne07 Amazing! So sorry I couldn’t make it this time. Thanks for all your hard work and support. Look forward to attending the next event @netcesia2

Smashing it at the UHSussex Badminton Tournament! 🏸 Today, our teams brought their A-game to the court, showcasing skill, sportsmanship, and team spirit. Kudos to all players, supporters, and organisers. Let’s keep the energy high! 🏸 #UHSussex #OSN #myuhsussex #UHSxBadminton

@deromeantido @UHSussex @andyheeps @maggiedavies @woollard_jane @Chris_R_Clement Thanks Derome. Was great to join colleagues to talk about the importance I place on this part of our improvement and management system that is Patient First. Look forward to spending time on the wards seeing how daily management is improving things for our patients and staff

Crushed another DMS training today—this time with the entire medical division in the house. Team effort, good energy, and we’re leveling up together! 💪🙌💯 @UHSussex @GeorgeFindlay99 @andyheeps @maggiedavies @woollard_jane @Chris_R_Clement

Happy Friday. Delighted to take @lkalinx for a celebratory drink after his successful interview for a substantive respiratory consultant post @UHSussex. Welcome to the team 🙌. #RespIsBest

@NHSHuw @andyheeps Thanks for all your hard work, great leadership and support Huw. Much appreciated. Lots to do but heading in the right direction

Turns out we have delivered far greater reduction month-on-month than anywhere else in England… top work Team Sussex! @GeorgeFindlay99 @andyheeps

In contrast to national picture, UHSX total PTL reduced by >5k in Jun-24. Bucking the trend… while we still have big challenges with longest waiting cohorts, slowly and surely we are making progress.

NHS staff across the country are, as always, playing their part in response to this week's riots. But we shouldn’t let dedication to duty disguise the fact that seeing this flare-up of racism will leave many colleagues feeling afraid and unwelcome. ➡️ england.nhs.uk/2024/08/statem…

I tweet quite a bit - but this one is different and perhaps the most important I’ve ever written I hope it gets shared as much as possible, so new parents don't make the same mistake I nearly made (even as a dad of five, having worked in A&E for 23 years and someone who teaches about not missing a diagnosis because of cognitive biases). Our 6 week old baby is getting discharged today from @TheAlexBrighton @UHSussex after receiving the best possible care for meningitis. She is doing really well and as a family we can't begin to express our gratitude to all involved. The day she came in, she was not herself but nothing which particularly worried us. But my wife did her temperature, and it was over 38C. As she was under 3 months, it meant she needed to be seen in A&E ASAP. By the time we got to A&E she was really quite sick even though it was only 30mins after taking her temperature. I initially dismissed her signs and initially even questioned why my wife did her temperature. I had a cognitive bias, twisting my thinking to believing she was ok because that is what I wanted her to be, when she wasn't- a positivity bias. Please if you are worried about your new baby - be like my wife and not me, check their temperature, use your gut instinct and don't delay getting the help your baby needs. @M_R_F

@martin_still @patcp66 @UHSussex Thank you for all your hard work and support

@bbmidd @rebeccamallick @UHSussex @TheBSGE Well done Rebecca. Super proud of you

Our new BSGE vice president, the inspirational @rebeccamallick 🙌🙌🫶🙌🙌 @UHSussex @TheBSGE

@UHWCriticalCare @PART_Cardiff @CV_UHB @CUmedicengage Happy retirement Paul. Many good memories of our time in Cardiff together. Best wishes

Needed this today @UHSussex Thank you to whoever nominated

@JasonParkerKPMG @TheStrokeAssoc Amazing Jason!

I did another half marathon - 30 mins faster than just a few months ago. Who says you can’t keep improving in your stroke recovery with a dollop of determination and good rehab. #thrivingafterstroke @TheStrokeAssoc

@NHSHuw Nicer here Huw #capetown

Rather muddy at Bethlem Parkrun today. Ankle deep, in fact, for much of the course. Which made it lots of fun!

@netcesia2 @UHSussex @OSN_UHSussex @maggiedavies @TrishRigby Welcome to everyone. Look forward to meeting you soon

Welcome to University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust Cohort 75🥰☺️ @UHSussex @OSN_UHSussex @maggiedavies @TrishRigby
