@MicheleMur52718 @RoyalFreeNHS @SusanTierney2 @doctorsachinp @SandraMcfarla13 Wow! Amazing. Top tips?

Incredibly proud of the Barnet theatre team, 96% theatre utilisation last week! What an incredible achievement ❤️ @RoyalFreeNHS @SusanTierney2 @doctorsachinp @SandraMcfarla13

@willwarburtonSG @ShelfordGrp Congrats on your new role Will! Hope something fab.

It's true! I'll be leaving Shelford shortly, to take up a new role in the NHS So the search for the next Managing Director of the Group is now open It’s a fantastic job, full of variety - great content, engaged members and a super team Details here odgers.com/92432

The two are pretty linked ime. We are creating work “churn” by responding to an ever shorter data cycle and trying to influence it. Leads to more reactive work and less proactive. Leads to less local ownership.

Not really the done thing to tweet any more is it, but where else does one put one’s thoughts?! Reflecting this morning on the increase in regulatory staff per provider set out in the Darzi report and the fact that we have much more real (or near) time data flow than pre2020

@Speak2Georgina @GSTTnhs Hope you’re okay GC! Xxx

Big thanks @GSTTnhs for excellent care for my eye surgery this afternoon. 16 years this week I’ve been working for this fantastic organisation 🙏🏼

All of us during the Olympics:

@InsideHealthCIO 😍🤤 PS is now a good time to go to the tip???

@RachelBurnham Yes but you’re not alone in this challenge bindicator.net

Tell you what’s a far bigger part of my life now than I’d ever imagined? BINS. I have four (4). I have a calendar appt to remember to take the right ones out at the right time. I think about “if it’s a good time to go to the tip” *constantly*.

@PSMJW @JamesTitcombe Ah Mel! Coming from you that’s made my day x

@RachelBurnham @JamesTitcombe You’ve never appeared weak, your open attitude and willingness to support and work with people rather then fire off instructions is inspiring. People want to work with you.

First time I’d heard this quote in @JamesTitcombe HSJ briefing today. Couldn’t agree more. In my world of performance, I try to not follow the typical course of “scary meeting with the DoP & now I must do x/y/z”. I sometimes wonder if it makes me seem weak, but it tends to work!

Life comes at you fast hey.

@jamie_wallis Seriously though! I never really thought about it or believed the clichés but I’ve genuinely noticed a difference in “vibe”. And I LOVE London and my former colleagues 😂 (originally from South Yorkshire….)

@RachelBurnham I have also fond this as a southerner for the last 20 years moving back up north (originally from the midlands).. Boltonians are very friendly

What a lovely week! Hating feeling like I don’t know anyone or “how to get stuff done”, but that’s been more than offset by the sheer welcoming nature of everyone I’ve met (ahem - the North) and the potential of the work to do. I’ve even decided to come back next week too.

@buckinghamh @MFTnhs Ha it’s on my list. Just wanted to be sure they were still expecting me first 😬🫣

@RachelBurnham @MFTnhs (though change your bio)

Relocation ✅ Off to be the new girl @MFTnhs this morning.

@TheKingsFund Congratulations Sally! What a role.

Director of Policy Sally Warren has announced she will be leaving The King’s Fund to start a new senior role at the Department for Health and Social Care. Read our statement here: kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…

The @AccessProjectUK is looking for more volunteers to help tutor their growing numbers of students age 14-16 as they head towards tertiary education for an hour a week online. Can you help? bit.ly/4eJTvvZ

GCSE exams are over and we hope this year's cohort are proud of their hard work! Why not do something amazing and help a student from a disadvantaged background to reach their potential next year? Join @AccessProjectUK as a volunteer tutor: bit.ly/3VKLmP4

Hope for the future a common topic today. It was lovely to do my weekly @AccessProjectUK tutorial earlier this week and for my tutee to tell me they got a 9 in their mocks and one of the best scores in their year ✨⭐️. She will go far!

2) managing and leading through radical / genuinely major change is probably a skill we need to invest more in PDQ across NHS management ranks and 3) there was def a mix up of names for me to be a member - perhaps the…other Burnham?! 🤔

Can’t think of a better group of minds to spend Election Eve w/ than those which make up @TheKingsFund General Advisory Council. Left with 3 key reflections: 1) when it comes to “what must be done around health & care post election” we know most of the “what” & less of the “how”
