Two days in Birmingham with the Christmas Markets and the fantastic Justin Hayward. Now on to London for @thekingsfund.bsky.social Annual Conference.

Made it to Manchester! Show is at 7pm and I’ve just found out there are literally six tickets left so why not come on down and make me the sellout I’m always accused of being.

Just over a year since the PM came to @thekingsfund.bsky.social to respond to Lord Darzi’s review of the NHS, the health secretary is back today to speak at our #KF10YearPlan conference. Good to hear he’s welcoming our scrutiny of government plans!

We were delighted to welcome Wes Streeting, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, to speak at our 10 Year Health Plan event today. He joined us to speak about the announcement of public-facing trust league tables and the initial roll out of neighbourhood health services. #KF10YearPlan

Great to hear from Andy Burnham, @mayorofgm.bsky.social, on the VCSE sector's crucial role, highlighting that good housing is vital for people’s health and creating a ‘live well’ approach at his speech during @thekingsfund.bsky.social conf on the 10-year plan for healthcare in England.

Today's the day, on my way to Leeds for the @usemydata.bsky.social National Patient Data Day conference. #NPaDD

1/6. Wes Streeting's speech at #NHSConfedExpo was one for the policy wonks; lots of insight into what's coming in terms of system design in/post 10 year plan. Some quick thoughts follow. See speech here www.gov.uk/government/s...

Off the back of Wes Streeting's speech at #NHSConfedExpo, @davidjbuck.bsky.social shares his thoughts on what this might mean for population health, devolution and health inequalities 👇

It's a moment to celebrate volunteers working with the NHS but also an opportunity to mark new data which gives us a bit more insight into who is doing what and where...interested to hear reactions www.england.nhs.uk/blog/using-d...

This morning we were delighted to be joined by @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health and Prevention in the Department of Health and Social Care at our #KFHealthInequalities conference.

Well, I feel for the poor sods at NHSE, already reorganised to within an inch of their lives, going through the whole thing again with the prospect not of decimation - reducing by 1/10th - but of change at 5 times that scale, with (almost) totally new leadership. Some thoughts... 🧵

Today is a special day for me, not that it's St Valentine's Day, it's also my #Cancerversary, it's 11 years to the day since I was diagnosed with cancer. Life has never been the same since, the diagnosis was terrifying but I found a world where I meet and work with some amazing people. 🤔
