Interested in designing or running a social innovation lab? Labs are spaces for stakeholders to creatively experiment with addressing complex problems. Our report with @theQCommunity & @HealthFdn explores how labs contribute to social change⤵️ q.health.org.uk/resource/do-in… 1/2

We are pleased to share the experiences of young people, @Sanders_Draper and @LBofHavering council following the Havering Youth Wellbeing Census, and adaptation of the original @BeeWellUK survey, we helped to deliver over the past year. Watch the video: youtu.be/TDRC-9J6Qrw

Met some brilliant leaders from biopharma this week, and got excited about our shared to-do list to improve health outcomes. Was an early outing in my expanded Chief Innovation Officer role @UCLPartners and everyone was beautifully patient with me :)

@jamieafoster @UCLPartners Thanks to you @jamieafoster and @HillDickinson for generous hosting and support.

Pleasure to host this @UCLPartners event today!

Staying in treatment can be challenging - but the right help can make a difference. Pleased with this short film about cancer support and some of the challenges we are beginning to tackle at @UCLPartners with @macmillancancer and many other partners. youtube.com/watch?v=yWpvhd…

Excellent report looking at innovation labs in health from @Innovation_Unit and @HealthFdn. Some lines from me - in company with some amazing interviewees - and better looking @UCLPartners colleagues adorning the front cover :) @emma_mordaunt

@CEmWilliams @NWAngliaFT @CambsPboroICS @MSEHospitals @MSEssex_ICS Fantastic! Huge congratulations.

I’m really grateful & delighted to be appointed to this brilliant role @NWAngliaFT @CambsPboroICS! So proud of @MSEHospitals @MSEssex_ICS and all we have done together for patients and population. Long may it continue.

‘Being in good health is now a better predictor of future employment opportunities than education.’ That is a very powerful summary - gives me pause, both as a policy geek and a parent. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Against a long-term trend of rising hospital admissions, policymakers have had an enduring aim of slowing their growth. So it’s remarkable that between 2019 & 2022 admissions fell by 800k (12%). A thread. 1/16

@Skinner_M Is fine on that day. Rm 4

@Skinner_M I can book you at room at UCLP?

What's killing London? Last week @jburnmurdoch shone a light on a worrying trend - the shrinking population of Londoners aged 25-39 But there are actually *more* UK-born young Londoners than ever - it's Brexit that's sapping the capital's lifeblood 🧵 @ian.mulheirn/whats-killing-london-70ea47ad4709" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@ian.mulheirn/…

Very sad news indeed. Had a brief chance to collaborate with Elizabeth and team and @livinwithapp on long Covid via @CareCityUK and @UCLPartners. Elizabeth was smart, charming and driven. My condolences to family, friends and colleagues.

Some great opportunities to come and work with me @UCLPartners. Work with researchers, clinicians and leaders to innovate for health impact at scale and join a wonderful team. Please do share and don't hesitate to drop me a line.

Delighted Hewitt Review says ‘more should be done to enable flexibility for health and care staff… in delegation of some healthcare tasks’, e.g, wound care. This could transform homecare and a real shame it hasn't already been pushed further + faster. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…

This is an intellectually daunting set of examples. Such confusing, mind-blowing potential.

'There are... 400,000 more working-age men economically inactive now than pre-pandemic, and... 116,000 women – a stark 77:23 split.' And these are younger as well as older people. Lots of striking stats here. bit.ly/3yJXtAE

@danlewer @docjohnwright @BiBresearch @CityOfResearch Congratulations! That’s brilliant.

I'm extremely proud to be joining Bradford Institute for Health Research as Consultant in Public Health! And humbled to be part of this amazing team and community of researchers.

Wishing all my nursing colleagues @uclh and across the NHS all the very best at a difficult time. If folks this dedicated are on strike it’s time for swift and fair resolution.
