This is very much on point about how I and I think perhaps many others quietly feel about Britain? Excellent.

"Most of us basically love our country, even if begrudgingly – not the version we’re told to, or even presented with, but the one we really see and live in every day. Silly Sausage Britain is the Britain most of us reside in, and love." @sofiejenkinson.bsky.social on "Mr Blobby patriotism"

At @compassionindying.bsky.social we decided to FOI NHS Trusts to see their advance decision / MCA policies. Here's our thinking about why that might help us diagnose some problems and help the people we support when they have trouble at hospitals.

Oh dear. 258 days since my last weeknote. zachmoss.co.uk/week-37-forg...

Just like old Twitter... 🥹

For those of us who have always believed in assisted dying, it's quite an extraordinary thing to see happen. The kind of daring, delicate, sensitive decision which British politics almost always ducks - suddenly grasped.

God this is a brutally sad story, but what writing... "I understand things about myself and the world now that I can’t wish I didn’t know. All of the noise about what on earth I’m here for has melted away. I think I am a better person, if a sadder one." www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Such cool work going on here at the BFI and it's so fun to see it at an org which I use as a punter!

Parliament has had a good day.

This is quite something. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9...

Here we go.

My editor dislikes my use of contractions but it's what it's

A very good thread. It’s important to remember the scale of the disaster which was Connecting for Health which Tonty’s last brilliant idea for how the NHS could be transformed by AI, sorry, Tech. Fujitsu paid £628 million for failure after DHSC spent an additional £56 million losing a court case.

There’s been a chronic underinvestment in technologies in community services and mental health community services. Technologies have existed for 15 years that are still not in use. We published research on this in Aug. 3/11 www.kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-...

A lovely piece. And I agree - wholesome, bizarre and satisfying TV. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

I'm currently supporting my parents who are at the stage of life when they are "super users" of the NHS. Given TBI have a jazz hands bit of health tech policy out this week, it seems like a good time to revisit this Doteveryone project from 2015/16 projects.doteveryone.org.uk/improvingcar...

A lovely bunch of content folks. Who am I missing? go.bsky.app/SrN7J8Q

I guess I have to call this a monthnote not a weeknote. Anyway, it's a bumper edition that includes my 3 word review of Glasto... zachmoss.co.uk/week-33-34-3...

A tale of two meetings, chocolate and some other bits...

Getting quite far down into the prototyping rabbit hole now... Made the switch from external to internal user needs and content though, so that's fun. More in this #weeknote zachmoss.co.uk/week-30-how-...

Enjoyed writing this one. I wrote about: 1️⃣ Our new report on #DNACPR decisions 2️⃣ Conscious competence 3️⃣ Having fun with GOV.UK prototyping zachmoss.co.uk/week-29-dnr-...

Back on the #weeknotes wagon. Content crit, complexity and clarification. zachmoss.co.uk/week-28-cont...

Not my best writing, but then I've written about how others are much better at it and we should be thankful... Also... content testing - any tips, methods and thoughts? zachmoss.co.uk/week-27-writ...

A struggle, but first weeknote of 2024. Back in the groove. zachmoss.co.uk/week-26-find...

I share this sentiment with @gilestur.bsky.social. I am pleasantly surprised with blot.im. More like this!

All we can do is type good words in the bad boxes. @gilestur.bsky.social gilest.org/bad-boxes.html

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend.

Really enjoyed writing this end of year reflection. I'm enjoying writing at the moment, and I think the end of year one is the best example for me of 'write for yourself'. I'm writing this for me to read back through next year, just as I did this morning reading back over my 2022 reflection.

Brutal, devastating... but full of love.

Lot's to like in this blog... benholliday.com/2023/11/28/h...

New weeknote. New blot (using Blot) zachmoss.co.uk/week-24-resi...

Having fun with blot.im. Blotting. Writing blot posts? Am I a blotter?

My brain had lots of thoughts this week... The NHS can be brutal. We need a @MartinSLewis to help people navigate healthcare. Renewed my passport (what a service 👏). Attended inaugural UKCharityCamp which was energising. medium.com/@_zachmoss/w...

After seeing how much @ukgovcamp.bsky.social gets people talking, quite excited about this charity version... 👇

I'm on a weeknote roll... I think it helps leaving to last thing on a Friday when I literally have zero energy for edits or any sort of editorial standards...

Weeknotes - with an associated pooch. Lots about how much I love user interviews. Good for the brain.

So I'm getting quite into this friendly new place... but before investing more time I do find myself wondering if it will exist in 3 months, 1 year, 5 years time? Any ideas folks?

Our second Show and Tell for the Scaling the Adoption of Open Referral project is Thursday at 13.30 - 14.15 - open to anyone interested so just let me know if you want an invite or sign up sites.google.com/tpximpact.co... (we'll only use the mailing list for S&Ts and weeknotes)

Doing some research into whether mediation is something we should offer our service users. Fascinating stuff... medium.com/@_zachmoss/w...
