We are 'world leading', apparently...

Technology and data is the new penicillin (oh, wait...).

Didn't manage to get linked data out of NHS digital even for a covid study (during the pandemic).

I've really missed NAHH conferences in person! The last time I attended in person was in 2018, in Harrogate, with a poster in tow.

Absolutely delighted to join - this time for one of the keynote slots!

“The government’s talking about opening up career pathways for care workers. Lovely. But let’s look at unpaid travel time. Let’s look at that basic hourly rate. And let’s look at insecure contracts”.
