Retweet of earlier thread with working links this time! As I prepare to move on from the Nuffield Trust
next week I've been thinking about some of the things I have found myself saying repeatedly over the last 7 years. A thread... (1/10)

Wise editorial in The BMJ

Signing off with the immortal words

“When you’re struggling to make sense of medicine & healthcare, remember: it’s the complexity, stupid”

Words that we all, along with the GMC & NHS England, need to remember…

Congrats to all who worked to get this over the line. Brave bit of legislation that will save & improve many thousands of lives & a public health intervention for the history books.

Good move NHS England and good news NHS Practitioner Health ! 👏👏👏

We are very concerned about these changes and will follow up urgently with NHSE. Many members have found Practitioner Health services to be pivotal to continuing clinical practice and supporting mental health & wellbeing. It is vital that support for such services is maintained.

If we do not look after healthcare staff they cannot look after their patients. We’ve learned that lesson the hard way. The ending of NHS Practitioner Health is a backwards step and a false economy. Really hard to make sense of this move. Read this 🧵 from Clare Gerada

In The Slump, you up the support for disaster responders. You don’t take it away. We have been telling you that for four years NHS England

Last week, we responded to 67 emergency calls.

54% in Kent
21% in Surrey
25% in Sussex

Every day, we save lives when every second counts. But we're in a race against time to buy our helicopter.

For family. For friends. Help us buy it for life.

Sally's analysis here is important and accurate. It's also not saying the NHS shouldn't work with the private sector, but that we should look for - and avoid - unintended consequences, especially increasing inequalities, when doing so.

This is a timely reminder that all healthcare has risks & safety is at the heart of everything we should be doing.

Timely also as I was speaking today to the Independent Healthcare Providers Network (IHPN) about Perioperative Cardiac Arrest in the Independent healthcare sector…
