Most influential person on the NHS? Putin, by far. I wrote this 2 years ago & very much playing out now. The NHS has been at the front of the public cash queue... No longer. There will be no Breakfast with Frost mk2. We're only slowly getting our heads round that. medium.com/@Richard.tau...

Daughter: "have you met the head of the NHS?" Me: "yes, but she resigned this week. She might have been coming to our event" Daughter: "did she resign because she really didn't want to go to your event?" #nowitallmakessense

editorial from @bmj.com and paper: Poor staff retention is associated with higher patient mortality. Have said it before & I’ll say it again. If you don’t care for the carers, they cannot care for their patients. www.bmj.com/content/387/...

Chair says something controversial in board paper - which is publicly available. Paper then magically disappears. The NHS's commitment to transparency is sometimes paper thin.

If you have children in a state secondary in London, or work for one, I can come and give a wee careers talk about what's it like working in the VCSE. It's nothing spectacular, but there is always a few lovely young people whose ears prick up when I eulogise about work with purpose.

No more important task today than to follow (in more ways than one) @suzettew.bsky.social and heed her wisdom - there's very few I agree with more.

Third and most important. Safety will only be achieved if we care for the people who care for patients. Genuine care and support. Time and space to think. Compassion and kindness. A restorative just culture and a psychologically safe environment.

Second. Healthcare is always about relationships and these are being eroded by the conditions people are working in and the behaviours all around them. Particularly incivility and a general lack of kindness.

First learning point. The NHS has too many initiatives and interventions. We saw them being imposed on busy staff who shuffle from one intervention to the other without knowing quite why and what they are being asked to do. What can we stop?

In the national campaign that I led we learnt so many things which have been lost over time. So in the spirit of an organisation with a memory I thought I would share some of these

The task is, not so much to see what no one has yet seen; but to think what nobody has yet thought, about that which everybody sees” Erwin Schrodinger (1952) Pretty much sums up my approach to safety.
