The launch of Bath and NE Somerset Older People’s Voice yesterday with a packed room (we could have filled it twice over) and older people holding officials to account on issues like transport and housing and being clear that older people want to be a part of their local community.

GP CRISIS Summary: Not enough funding, not enough GPs in work, GP unemployment, too much focus on additional roles at the expense of patients being able to access GPs Cause: Government & NHS England failure to prioritise patient care in the community @dauk-gp.bsky.social

Calm down. This is far too measured and sensible for either Times readers or X, but may go down better here. Anyway it is very good... www.thetimes.com/article/1c78...

Large parts of adult social care in England face collapse, thinktank says. The budget blamed but there are other factors. Massive real cut in local govt funding since 2010. Privatisation: 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits. Money buys less. End Privatisation www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

With new figures showing that more than one in three children in the UK are now living in poverty, with deprivation hitting a record high, it's good to see the Times focusing on the people who are really struggling

This is from IMPACT, which I am fortunate to be involved with. It describes how the Moray #sharedlives carers or hosts act as local ‘anchors’ for people who might need a bit of connection and support to the community. Worth a look @neilmcrowther.bsky.social impact.bham.ac.uk/2024/11/19/l...

We will never stop fighting for the NHS, and can’t wait to find people on here to help fight with us…

Heartbreaking and angry. We need a rounded approach where communities can support als, but finding they also need support to know how to support others but they are not sure how.

Here’s my current job plan: understanding approach to risk in mental health; embedding person centred safety planning; implementing Safewards & learning what helps it stick; scoping therapeutic interventions & peer input in mental health wards. Please give me a shout if this is your bag too!

Loving how fresh and invigorating our new place is @bsky.app already feeling the kindness flow along with curiosity. Fabulous ❤️ 👌

Let's be clear, Wellbeing in healthcare is not fluffy stuff. It's about workload, staffing, systems & culture. It's about valuing our own needs, modelling humanity & vulnerability, Creating spaces where people feel able to be authentic & ask for help. Wellbeing must be a priority. #MedSky

Our post election live show is now up for everyone. It is a journey through the heart of darkness, but there are laughs along the way. At least I think there were. I can't quite remember. It was all very traumatic. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/u...
