Seems like digital therapeutics has been the hardest space to crack in health-tech. Very few successes, if any? At one point, it seemed so promising and there's a lot to like about the core idea behind it. Who has theories? cc @erinbrodwin

Round 12 of the NIHR Advanced Fellowship is now open for applications. We would like to see applications from researchers of: social care, mental health, public health, health data science, knowledge mobilisation, multiple long-term conditions. Apply now: nihr.ac.uk/funding/advanc…

@GaryMcAllister I’ve stuck to co-op games so far…

When you're better than kids at their own game. 😂👾🎮

Closing day for applications for @NHSEngland CCIO role - nhsdigitalweb.eploy.net/vacancies/3026… Look forward to an inspirational colleague in the role! @Vin_Diwakar

@DrGilluley @NHSEnglandLDN With well design digital systems! But I would say that! Learning and communication skills highlighted as core elements that are often missing by previous health foundation.

@_KColeo @OxleasCEO @tall_rachel It fits with that B Franklin quote “if you want something done, ask a busy person”. At its worst, it’s knowing exploitation of conscientiousness and perfectionism and hides/avoids the system changes that needs to happen.

@Psycle_Doc @OxleasCEO @tall_rachel I think performance punishment is extremely prevalent in the NHS.

Came across the concept of performance punishment recently…as we are in stress awareness month…seems helpful to reflect on how rewarding high performers with more work (and no additional resource or compensation) can be counter-productive for org. @OxleasCEO @tall_rachel

@JohnTorousMD I still don’t know how you have time to publish so much!

Blending perspectives of service users, clinicians, researchers, funders, and more - this editorial highlights how innovation in digital health for #schizophrenia offers leading examples of rigor, patient/public involvement, and clinical integration: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@parthaskar @DrG_NHS @NHSEngland Have been known to say “well we thought about this in 2014/15/16/17 and here is the slide deck”…Still feels like job not done yet. 30 years to retirement.

@Psycle_Doc @DrG_NHS @NHSEngland 'complete and utter lack'? 🤣

10 years since I started as a leadership fellow with @DrG_NHS at @NHSEngland Bar six months to finish my training - have worked there continuously since then. A few colleagues have worked longer, but most have come & gone. Interesting learning experience in terms of org memory.

@_KColeo You still calculated the QTc by hand, right?

@Psycle_Doc We don't generally, this was moment of combined circumstances that resulted in an ECG for a dolls house 🤦🏻‍♀️

Our HCA took great pleasure in presenting me with this earlier, for my opinion... My opinion is that I'm thoroughly unimpressed with #NHS IT today. Yes, this is an #ECG that her computer inexplicably printed onto a blood tube label 🤦🏻‍♀️ Is this a microcardiogram?!

@jacswork @jessRmorley @DHRewired @Vin_Diwakar @ConfedMatthew @jhoeksma You are right - protecting time to think without the distraction of emails, back to back video meetings or the pressing urgency of clinical matters is difficult. Yet that creative, associative and divergent embodied thinking is our USP. Strategising about AI > an AI strategy

@Psycle_Doc @jessRmorley @DHRewired @Vin_Diwakar @ConfedMatthew @jhoeksma You have just not been given, or taken, the time to do that. Yet...

@LJ_Ali1 @DHRewired Sorry I can’t be there to join in the discussion.

🌅Waking up in Birmingham for @DHRewired Listen out for -The concept of Digital Clinical Services -Foundational design principles like logic of care & holistic or biopsychosocial care -Transdisciplinary mapping

@moghraby @drchrishilton @Derektracy1 You’ve got to have team/channel notifications turned on. It’s not a default. A lot of this is about training. Remember KLaS say 5-8 hrs a year of EPR training to stay competent. What about all the other systems. “You do what you drill” - what are our daily “drills” on this stuff?

@Psycle_Doc @drchrishilton @Derektracy1 Yes but interesting when you get near instantaneously response by email and weeks by teams for many. I try to do the opposite but let people know! ;-)

Of >1400 nhs emails received during a fortnight's leave, only around 12% require any action, and nearly 400 were "sitreps". There must be a better way? @Derektracy1 @moghraby

@moghraby @drchrishilton @Derektracy1 Would also reflect that the adage of: if you don’t want lots of email to read, don’t send any is also significant. We can lead by example - someone sends you an email - send them an MS teams message in reply in the appropriate channel/team.

@moghraby @drchrishilton @Derektracy1 I filter all calendar invites into a separate folder and bypass inbox and review invites in calendar separately when doing diary management. Email is the one of the worst forms of shadow IT. Excel spreadsheets, progress notes and emails need to be designed out of workflow.
