Such a privilege to have had the chance to explore the amazing work that Wendy Nimmo and the team at NHS Forth Valley have done to make a value management approach real and to work for them. Thanks again to everyone who generously gave me their time and shared insights.

Most guys don’t look in the mirror & see a problem. But it’s staring us in the face. Sexual violence begins long before you think it does. #DontBeThatGuy

A great opportunity to come lead a lovely team (I may be biased!). Advert also here: jobs.ac.uk/job/CJW051/eev…

Hilary Cottam says that the focus is too often on designing pathways into/out of care systems, and how care is funded - we need to talk more about the stuff of care itself, informed by new stories, new ways of working and seeing, new data and accounting. #REALChallenge

So much to think about - care as a relationship core to human thriving- "care shd be as normal as the weekend"; as coaching or teaching, it's not a good or service, not a helping economy but a relationship econ; can't be measured in time. And massively undervalued. #realchallenge

Collaboration ("performing a variety of synchronous & asynchronous acts that are in tension & harmony with each other") takes a lot of time & energy so it needs to deliver outcomes. Research report into what makes people & teams collaborate well: figma.com/collaboration-… By Figma

My role as an NHS "pen pusher" meant our psychiatrists didn't have to type & send multiple clinic letters or referrals a day, book appointments and deal with routine queries - freeing up their time to see more patients. Admin staff keep the NHS turning. This headline is gross.

People don’t actually resist change. We know this as people change voluntarily all the time. So if we accept that those we work with aren’t resisting change in general, let's find out what the specific issues with this change might be: real-leaders.com/the-3-question… By @TurnerChangeMgt

I won’t stand by whilst this shameless Government tries to walk all over the junior doctors who sacrificed so much to keep us safe during the pandemic. If you stand with our Junior doctors please RT this widely. Let’s make sure the public know the FACTS

Please take two mins to watch this video from the TUC depicting how political decisions since 2010 have all but destroyed our once-great NHS, as waiting lists have soared from 4 to 7.5 million. It’s heartbreaking 😔

I've said many times that the air-quality benefits of renewable energy -- the reduction in particulate & other forms of direct air pollution -- would, in & of themselves, pay for the energy transition. A new study bolsters the case: theguardian.com/environment/ar…
