No, it doesn’t. The word lived has nothing that will change the meaning.
Dr Lucy Henshall, being Lucy@DrLucyHenshall

@KevorkJan I really like the phrase! It forces those prone to making assumptions … to step away from lazy patterns of expectation so readily imposed on others ie you “should” “can/cant” or “ought” to be/do/feel XYZ… So they hear what the individual human has actually been thro 😊

Kindness in the NHS. Let us not forget ancillary staff. The ward orderly has gone down to the kitchen specially, unprompted . to get something that my mother might eat.Lovely of her.

Am I the only person who groans on hearing 'lived experience'? Can anyone have an un-lived experience? Yes, I know it is a technical term in phenomenology but what is it doing in everyday speech?

Why are Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer so keen to involve more private companies in the NHS? They should be listening to what the public wants! RT if you agree!💙

With respect, the Labour plans are a continuation of the Conservative plans from 1989 onwards: stealthy privatisation of the NHS.
Amanda McEwan@McEwanAmanda

@cpeedell @wesstreeting You seem to be very negative about the plans that labour have, could you please give them a chance. We have waited 14 years to get a labour government and let’s get bethel instead of constant criticism.

Can we not allow the possibility that our physio & other colleagues can also be alert to differential diagnoses & hidden problems? I have seen great examples of physios doing that. Whoever attends patients first should be alert & ready to refer across.

@wesstreeting @thismorning What about appointing a GP too, so you have an expert looking from the other end of the telescope?

And leading the NHS review is the man who came up with the not so successful polyclinic model RIP
Richard Murphy@RichardJMurphy

Wes Streeting has had years to work out what’s wrong with the NHS, but now he’s in office apaprently needs consultants to tell him what he should already know taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/07/1… Wes Streeting is hitting the ground by.....setting up a consultation on what's wrong with the NHS, headed by a peer whose ideas failed when he advised the last Labour government. Is that really the best he can do?

Have to disagree with you on this. There have been excellent analyses by authoritative bodies such as the King’s Fund. Make use of them. Rather like doing a Systematic Review rather than setting up yet another study.
Prof Paul Booton@alligatorsmile

@RichardJMurphy @drjawalsh We've had enough uninformed knee jerk populist reviews of the NHS. Sorry, but I'd prefer someone to take a careful view now they have the resources to do so.
