@bt_uk I appreciate that you have even taken the time to respond and consider - if you ever want to visit an area to understand what a life changing experience this would deliver just let me know ❤️

@msengamac I'll certainly pass this idea on to our teams, Mary.

@virginmedia @bt_uk and any other media provider - have you ever been a patient or a visitor in a hospital that has no patient entertainment? It is soul destroying - is there no way you could collaborate and come up with a smart media solution that was made

Free to any trust that paid behemoth amounts for your voice and or data services. Sit and look at a beige wall with no tech for a couple of days… Come on surely you can find it in you to at least do a discovery 🤷‍♀️

If you’ve not had chance to see @NathanEvanss live yet you’re missing out - was brilliant Sunday eve 🤩

@charliersmith1 I think you look blooming fabulous! And well, really, really well. So keep sticking it to ‘em!

This week, I’ve never had so much criticism of my body. People telling me to lose weight, that I’ve ‘let myself go’, implying I should be ashamed… But, screw that - I’m proud of who I am, so here’s another photo 😊

@ianroddis As always Ian leading from the front, providing the outstanding teams with positive and practical support - oh and pizza 🍕

Going live with Badgernet maternity system in BHT acute and community

When you end up using your sat nav to navigate round the new work location 😂🤣😂 tell me you’re a newby without saying you’re a newby 🤣😂🤣

@iainoneil No problem will drop you a message for next week some time if that’s ok

@iainoneil Sort of, have provided devices to Trust library to be loaned to staff,primarily to support staff who may have families overseas & would have no means of staying in contact if they could not afford tech. Salary sacrifice deals in most Trusts now. Devices for apprentices too

Dear NHS folks - has anyone got experience of buying devices for staff and particularly around “Corp Device for Personal Use”. Intuitively feels like could benefit staff but comes with some requirements around ‘benefits/tax/etc’ Anyone done similar and up for a chat? #NHS

@ianroddis Erm 🤔😂🤣 it’s ok you’ve 2 weeks to baton down the hatches 😂🤣😂

@msengamac Jeez, you start with us so soon????

Ok so leaving has its perks, I’ve had roses and cards and been out for dinner this evening. On Friday after work some drinks and leaving lunch on Monday @ianroddis I might not be there long if leaving is this good 🤣🤣🤣 just kidding!

@RaniRiner Thank you Riner ❤️

So it’s all getting a little real now as my final week at NHFT is looming 😱 I’m really looking forward to a couple of weeks leave & then I will be heading to my new role as Director of Technology at Bucks beginning November 🤗

@andy_callow Thanks Andy 🤗

@msengamac Congratulations Mary!

@ianroddis I hope the outcome is worth the effort 🤞 anyone ever do a retrospective on this kind of business case to see what value there is in the volume of pages, how much is unique and unrepeated data, and if/how it could be streamlined for future cases to reduce the overhead 🤷‍♀️

Tonight I am reading a 155 page business case with 49 appendices. Wish me well.

@jwsingh @PennineCareNHS Great notes Jas, remember to give yourself time, set the same expectations of yourself in your 30-60-90 as you would have those starting in a position within your team. Week one is usually a blur of names and faces 🤗 enjoy!

Weeknotes s04e01 TL,DR: Week 1 as CTO @PennineCareNHS jaswant-sagoo.medium.com/weeknotes-s04e…

And they most definitely have a voice. It’s their role not their flipping pay range that important. One of the things in the NHS that has driven me bonkers since I joined. Did “more than just my band” get dropped 🤷‍♀️

Got a little grumpy in a meeting today where someone suggested a colleague in said meeting did not have a voice because they were “just a band *” huge trigger for me! If someone is in that meeting they are there because of their knowledge in said subject

@iainoneil 🤣😂

Name a bigger lie
