Our first visit to Teesside International Airport. Wow!! So easy. Parking right outside. Calm and peaceful inside. Easy check in. Good coffee. Next stop, Nederland! ๐ณ๐ฑ
Reading papers for next weeks Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust Council of Governors. Absolutely love the consistent messaging on values and behaviours. The clear descriptions in simple language of our shared expectations and why they are important. Great work! #Humbelievable
The #CassReview into Gender Identity Services is trending today. Interview here with its author Dr Hilary Cass and The Guardian. Lots to think about.

Listening to Together for Short Lives Andrew Fletcher on BBC Breakfast. Very clearly articulating the impact hospice care has, its benefits to the system and the bizarre position with the small but important NHS contribution agreed by Helen Whately still to be confirmed by NHS England.
Andy Bell Victoria Bleazard Great article from you Andy. You are spot on when you say, now is not the time to take the foot off the pedal when it comes to MH expansion. Further, faster! The 24/25 planning guidance seeks to protect the gains made and to provide the basis for the next big push toward parity
A super day sharing with University of Hull MSc students sharing my own journey and experience whilst getting to listen to and learn from some phenomenal leaders!
