Sad news. In my decidedly un-rock n roll social policy days, his passion, reasoned clarity, and compassion made him a bit of a superhero. Old school politician. Good man.

We are 'world leading', apparently...

Technology and data is the new penicillin (oh, wait...).

Didn't manage to get linked data out of NHS digital even for a covid study (during the pandemic).

We could be so much better than this.

Time is running out to apply for this unique opportunity to lead research on getting rid of low-value ‘stuff’ in healthcare to improve patient safety. Come and work with me David Alldred Robbie Foy Daisy Halligan HanaShamsan and our wider team NIHR Yorkshire and Humber PSRC ResearchAsOne - City of Research Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS FT

Long time coming... Needed now, more than ever. Workforce is everything in this space 👇

Delighted that National Care Forum is part of this study! fantastic that NICHE Leeds are leading the way in working with the care sector to design relevant, useful research!

Starting in September (but recruiting now): 22 new posts across the UK

The aim is to get evidence used in practice to make a difference to social care services / people’s lives

They're all 50% for 12m, so ideal for secondments from a wide range of backgrounds and previous roles

Have we all recovered? 😅

Let’s have that winning sprint one more time…

'I came in like a wrecking Mole!'

Chapeau...

20 crs vans, 20 coaches of pissed Belgian and Dutch fans, one burger van, three beer tents and a massive techno sound system... The party has well and truly started in Arenberg. Only 6 hours until riders hit the trench. #ParisRoubaix2024

This article is terrific. Patients and families, you need more power. Doctors, we MUST make time to listen, and respect people’s wishes. This happens all the time. It’s wrong. I’m so so angry. Thankyou The Guardian - and NICE please read

Got a shredded tyre. Turns out there is an intersport 3 miles away. Yeah, Yves the Belgian neighbour omitted to mention it was a bit 'cyclo cross' (on tourer).

Had another puncture getting there... Got lost in some northern French allotments. Top Paris-roubaix action... 👍😂

Thoughts? Leeds Teaching Hospitals will this be coming to Leeds Hospitals too?
