James Higgott

A welcome change of (weeknoting) pace. My monthnote for October. weeknot.es/monthnote-octo…

@TrillyC I do have a couple of tips for monthly in case it's helpful: 1) add to the note throughout the month, don't try to remember it all at the end 2) commit to publishing by x working days after month end - no one wants an October monthnote in mid-November.

@TrillyC I get you. I can't commit to weekly and it feels like failure if I try to.

@Redmoor_Dill Thanks, Dillon. I agree!

@jiggott Thanks James, really useful to get a peek into thoughts and processes behind a product. The NHS app is such a vital component in ensuring patients transition to safely going online and communicate with their GP surgery.

Here's my monthnote for October: weeknot.es/monthnote-octo…

@nickw84 Ha! I was though delighted to discover that Acton has the full set of North, South, East, West and Central stations.

@nickw84 I just hit 50% and am running out of steam, so well done. This quiz does not want to recognise the existence of Kentish Town though.

I've really enjoyed the 365 Tiny Sci-Fi Stories from @smllwrlds. A book would be very welcome.

@marxculture Transpontine forever.

@KevinGMayfield NHS England does not have a single digital strategy. Its ambitions for the NHS App are expressed across multiple documents - this is our attempt to synthesise and simplify those into something that the people who design, build and run the NHS App can easily work with.

@jiggott Should these be NHS England (digital) goals? NHS App is solution to part of the problem. Tasks (aka Workflow, clinical processes, Conversations, etc) is a much wider problem. E.g. US has this build.fhir.org/ig/HL7/fhir-sd… (some of this is in NHSE eRS).

Today and tomorrow, NHS App teams are planning what we will do in January, February and March 2024. Here are the messages I shared with them at the start of the day: jiggott.medium.com/planning-for-j…

@blangry I could do this.

@EdDavie We can dream.

I am enjoying what looks like it will be Netherlands' first win over one of the big teams in #cwc23 And yes, I did enjoy Afghanistan's win over England too.

@e17chrisfleming Thanks, Chris. Will do!

Exemplary product thinking and working in the open from a brilliantly talented product person. Keep going James.

@blangry It's necessary. We have 11 product teams and they could so easily be stepping on each other's toes without it. (I also have some v organised colleagues who are in charge of the 2 days.)

@bashthebox Give me a moment! I'm still having my lawyer review the T&Cs.

Exclusive, no video and no DMs? Sign me up. If anyone has a spare B****y invitation I would like one please.

@cjforms @Martha_Edwards I've got one now, thank you.

@jiggott It's possible that @Martha_Edwards still has a spare one I've run out at the moment, sigh
