@zubirahmed Good luck Zubir!

With Polling Stations now closed, I wanted to thank everyone that voted and campaigned for change in Glasgow South West. Our campaign started in early 2023 and ended with the final ballots being casted for Labour in stations up and down GSW #VoteLabour #GE24 #GeneralElection2024

@rupertbright @ImperialNHS Congrats Rupert!

@DrPeterMarc Thank you Peter-Marc!

@GaryMcAllister For me number 3 is the big prize - but only if it does integration with structured data in the EHR well

Immediate use cases for co-pilot; 1, reduce transcription cost 2, meeting minutes 3, clinical time saving (letters, summaries etc) 4, image analysis (PACs integration) 5, translation services How can we integrate into clinical pathways?

@liambarker @jamie_wallis I’d love it if we got to state where these massive proformas weren’t needed at all - all the info is there in the London Care Record. @jamie_wallis let me know if this is something I can pick up in the GSTT-Primary Care liaison group

Is it ever acceptable for a hospital referral to be rejected over a year after it was put in because there isn’t enough information on the form?! (For what it’s worth my colleague’s referral was very detailed) I think that is pretty shoddy even if ‘the service has experienced a significant increase in demand and we are looking at interventions we can put in place to improve this’. Perhaps they will explain this to patient instead of us now having to tell them? However, it again illustrates the simple fact that every service in the NHS is struggling to deal with the current dire situation. Imagine if you were that patient 😞 #NHSCrisis @wesstreeting @VictoriaAtkins @mtpennycook @natalieben @libdemdaisy @LabourHealth @LibDemHealth @carolvorders @GaryLineker @joelycett

🧵Today we published our analysis, commissioned by @jrf_uk, which reveals that people living in poverty find it harder to live healthy lives, harder to access #NHS services, live with greater illness and die earlier than the rest of the population. kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…

@Not4Twos Sorry to hear this Xander. What an unnecessary headache

@jamie_wallis Good luck!

I’m back at Guy’s today having lithotripsy after a several month break!

@jamie_wallis I totally agree it’s far from ideal! It’ll be difficult to fix Docman issues & some of the basic formatting quickly, but we’ve definitely got to get the unnecessary stuff out of letters. Working on it - please feel free to drop me a line

I really despise Epic letters. We used to get a few from UCLH. Now local hospitals - both KCH and GSTT - are using Epic too. They are too busy and have too many pages of redundant information 😔

@deepaRD @GSTTnhs @KingsCollegeNHS @Synnovis Thanks Deepa!

@refikg @GSTTnhs @KingsCollegeNHS @Synnovis Well done Refik. Such amazing work . We have transitioned from 'sunrise' to EPIC and look forward to learning the full potential you have built into this future-proof system

Day 11 of our #Epic go-live across @GSTTnhs, @KingsCollegeNHS and @Synnovis. I’m so proud to be part of a team that has achieved so much already - and still lots to do!

A common question: what can we, in health care, do about the social determinants of health. The answer in this report: a great deal. Health care organisations can be active partners to act on social determinants to prevent illness and reduce inequalities.

@RebDCruz I’m glad they helped!

@refikg Thank you for the webinars this week - made lots of notes which saved me in clinic!

And we’re off! The largest single Epic go-live ever :)

@frank_dor Thank you! Lots to do, but so far so good on the whole

@refikg Hope all went well !
