New powers for ministers, new requirements for NHS bodies, big changes for local authorities... This guidance is a big change in the way service change happens in the #NHS. Give our podcast a listen for more of our thoughts, and get in touch if you'd like us to brief your teams.

Hurtling my way through the snowy peaks on the way to our @StandComms 2024 conference! Looking forward to a fab day connecting with colleagues and associates and talking about all the great work we’ve done together this year.

At @StandComms we've been having fun with AI. It's such a powerful tool. It can even imitate celebrities to explain difficult concepts. I wondered how good of a job it could do explaining major service change. Naturally I had one choice for the celebrity voice: RuPaul. Enjoy!

What a lovely venue to be delivering some training in today with Paul Parsons 💙 🇺🇦!

We are super excited to be exhibiting NHS ConfedExpo again this year. Are you going? Come and say hi to the team. #NHSConfedExpo

We're so excited at @StandComms to be going back to NHS ConfedExpo this year! It's a fantastic agenda, and we're looking forward to meeting folks to talk all things service change, transformation, public involvement and more. Will you be there? Let's grab a coffee if so! #ConfedExpo

It’s been a privilege to have been friends with Andrea Sutcliffe 💙💚💜 for over ten years now. I have her to thank for my career in health and social care. Few people are as compassionate and empathetic as her. I know we’re all wishing you the best for a speedy recovery, Andrea 💛

Time flies when you’re having fun, and we’re always having fun here! Read below all about my first (fab) year at Stand

From estates, capital, digital, to commissioning (and throw in a general election for good measure!) there’s lots changing in the world of patient and public care. Read below to find out more about our thoughts - and see you at #ConfedExpo on the 12th June?

Only one more week to go until #NHSConfedExpo! We will be exhibiting at stand A23. Come and say hi to the team if you are going.

We’re at #ConfedExpo! Come and say hello at stand A23

What a joy to be at #NHSConfedExpo last week! It was fantastic getting to meet so many colleagues and talk all things change, involvement and transformation. If you and your organisation are considering how to go about making change happen, drop us at @StandComms a line!

I felt very lucky to be part of the team working on updating this guidance back when I was at NHS England. Looking forward to seeing it published (hopefully!) soon.

Another blog by me for @StandComms on why public consultations are so important (hint: it's not just because of legal duties!) Do take a look, and as always get in touch with us if your organisation is considering change.

Happy Friday everyone! We're on a team day out in York (pictured here with Alan our tour guide from White Rose Tours- he was brilliant). We love getting together, and the weather is beautiful. But as lovely as the day is, we are missing our Paul Parsons 💙 🇺🇦... Get well soon chief x

I'm really looking forward to running this with some brilliant friends over at NHS Midlands & Lancashire - I may be biased, but I think it's an excellent overview of the business case requirements for service change. Find out more in the link below, or drop me a message! RTs much appreciated

It’s been a great day so far with lots of insightful talks, and Becky and I have had a great time interviewing some folks for Not A Consultation 💙 🎤
