Today, instead of 'Blue Monday' which has been widely discredited as a load of nonsense, let's have a #BrewMonday instead - every day is a good day to check in on a friend or colleague over a cup of tea, and this is your reminder to make it today! #Samaritans #MentalHealth

A kind reminder that this festive period can be a difficult time for some @NHS England @PAPYRUS_Charity @Samaritans @Mind @GiveUsAShout @theCALMzone

At Giant Health conference today, watching a panel on digital clinical safety with the fabulous Stacey Hatton presenting. Hearing about the importance of skilled implementation teams including project managers to support CSOs, and support from senior leadership. #Giant24

@curiousbecks.bsky.social started #High5Friday on X for a bit of positivity & reflection at the end of the week. Here's mine: 🎄More Christmas decor up 🍽️ Dinner with Windsor leadership group 🏠 First Trust Leadership Team meeting in SCFT New structure 💻No meeting day today 🎭 Panto tonight!

5 AI tools selected to test how regulation needs to adapt to AI capabilities - analyse data & predict serious COPD outcomes - LLM for medical image summary - drift monitoring platform - create personalised care plans for breast cancer patients - LLM for clinical guidance www.gov.uk/government/n...

We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones. Conviction is not a sign of credibility. Speaking assertively is not a substitute for reflecting deeply. It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.

Couldn't agree more - we must always start with the problem, otherwise we just end up pouring money into expensive tech which doesn't meet any need or give any benefit.

Last night I met up with my syndicate from the Windsor Leadership course I did 2 years ago. We visited Parliament for a tour & dinner as one of the group works there & chatted about our latest leadership challenges - a brilliant way to keep developing. How do you continuously improve as a leader?

NEW PODCAST: Moving the NHS from analogue to digital is one of the health secretary's top priorities. So what will it take?  Our Chief Executive Jennifer Dixon discusses with Erik Mayer and Holly Krelle. Listen now 🎧 https://buff.ly/3Z7SCX6

Me, trying to convince my family that whilst my TBR pile may be enormous, I absolutely need a whole new pile of books for Christmas

Kicking up the festive at our house, advent calendar and candle ready! #AdventCandle #AdventCalendar #Christmas

We had our SCFT Leadership Conference today, with a theme of leadership for improvement. It felt very honest, people telling stories of how difficult change is in the NHS right now. I felt very proud of my colleagues for leading with integrity & speaking their truth. How can we help them as leaders?

I'm catching up on this brilliant podcast, & this conversation filled me with joy on my drive home last night! How do you organise your bookshelves at home? Mine are a mix of size & colour. Hopefully you don't all have a Marina Hyde reaction & think me a psychopath as was the fate of Richard Osman!

I'm looking forward to hearing what people think of this one... Hard to argue against the idea that anyone who endangers patients through misconduct should face consequences, but the devil is in the detail and I'll be interested to see how this will be practically delivered. #NHSManagers

The importance of emotional regulation in leadership 🙌 #NurseSky www.forbes.com/sites/tarung...

Digital health must balance innovation with ethics—protecting patient data, ensuring equitable access, and avoiding provider burnout. The goal: tech that enhances care without widening disparities or overburdening clinicians. #DigitalHealth #HealthcareInnovation

Unsurprising to see represented in the data that community and mental health trusts get 70% of the funding that acutes receive for digital. No wonder the pace of change is slow. We need this to change if we are to do anything to address the Darzi report recommendations. #DigitalHealth #NHS

#HappyMonday One of the things I did enjoy over on X was the communities of practice that supported, shared and nurtured each other As a QI enthusiast I would love to connect with others so please do show yourselves so we can get ‘the gang back together’ as it were 🫣 #QISky #QIBlueSky

Good question from Keith, personally I think it’s inevitable that AI like ChatGPT will be used by the public to inform their healthcare - just like Google So we need to get ahead of it by working with people & constantly improving the information.

Spent my weekend decorating for Christmas! Some may say too early, but I don't want to miss out on a single moment of Christmas cheer! Who else is with me, and who thinks this is wildly early?! How did you spend your weekend? #ChristmasCheer #NHSWeekend #Wellbeing

I feel very lucky to be part of the CNIO advisory panel for DigitalHealth, where my focus is innovation & entrepreneurship. I've written a short opinion piece which describes what we have done to deliver on innovation at SCFT, where we are building digital capability in our services.

EPR users - can you spare 8 minutes to share your experiences? There is a really important survey going around looking at Electronic Patient Record useability, and is an opportunity to share how you think your local system can improve. Details: euklas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

A blank page, a new platform, a mildly corny and overdone first post - let's see where Blue sky takes us! Looking forward to finding old connections and new ones on here - I like #DigitalHealth #NHS #Innovation #BookSky #Cats #BoardGames #Festivals
