April reading. The numbers reflect my blissful week of reading by the pool. Mix of OMG what a book, pretty good and WTAF is this awful thing…. Hollie McNish definitely the best

Contributed to this leadership podcast #PrimaryCareOTs 👇Good timing bedside reading podcast 😊London bound to deliver a workshop to GP educators Bromley Education and Training Hub SEL Workforce Development Hub about supporting ARRs roles in PCNs. My recommendation & Dr David Hindmarsh particularly relevant to PCN leaders SY Training Hub

This was definitely “a room with a view” to deliver my session for SEL Workforce Development Hub this afternoon. Brilliant to catch up with Helen Blomfield as well

Fancy location for the teaching gig I have booked today SEL Workforce Development Hub Glaziers Hall

Train cancelled, rush to catch earlier one, poorly teenager up all night coughing left to sleep, younger child rings me hysterical about a missing item and wakes up poorly teenager in spite of my strict instructions not to. Fortunately there is coffee….

129 pages in. This is a SUPERB book and one I’m tempted to buy for every single person I mentor or supervise.

Next Saturday 0930 start or recorded on demand at your leisure. GP educators: If you’ve not got your tickets yet book now!

From the government whose greatest hits include the meteoric rise in food bank use, fuel poverty, kids too cold & hungry to learn, falling life expectancy & the deliberate destruction of the NHS.

Victim blaming & pure, naked cruelty.

For shame, Rishi Sunak.

This is based on a false premise

who assumes that people who are depressed and anxious are unable to work?

What we actually see is that on stressful, underpaid, overstretched jobs, people who are undervalued become anxious and depressed

Stigma is the machinery of inequality

Here is Rishi Sunak setting back the campaign for mental health parity at least a decade.

This is un-evidenced, performative cruelty.

It's disgusting.

Well worth a listen to Tara George 🌟Ben Allen GP 🌟 conversation, headline is psychological safety in organisational culture, also about GP community power, co-operative groups beyond usual allies & power of rolemodels. Shout out to 2 Shef GP giants Alan Shirley & Charles Heatley

Well this is topical after Amy Edmondson spoke at #quality2024
Lovely chatting with Tara about Amy's framing of failure and how this can help us innovate and drive us towards increasing psychology safety.

Blown away by the brilliance of the learners on the Teach the Teachers course I’m facilitating today

I am beyond proud of this service.
We are the sum of our amazing, compassionate staff, the health professionals who deserve our care so they can care for others and all who support us.
Thank you 💙

Thoroughly looking forward to this one. Who’s joining me ?

Evening contemplation time on the beach on the last night of a much needed holiday. Lots of sleep, pancakes, sunshine, several novels and binged the whole of #ONEDAY
