Well played #BirminghamMuseum #Birmingham the whole rockin’ world is in Brum today and flocking to the Ozzy exhibition! Not heard so many languages and accents on the streets since the amazing Commonwealth games. Never seen so many black t-shirts, leather and tattoos in the museum!

So perhaps before the NHS Plan gets all the air time/readership there will be a little window of opportunity for Whose News 14! sway.cloud.microsoft/a95hvCYFAgjO... @whoseshoes.bsky.social #CYPWhoseShoes #StaffsCoProWeek2025 #CoProWeek2025

Podcast from today’s run was @happyhenry.bsky.social conversation Kelly McGovern from West Hertfordshire. Some great examples of liberating what’s getting in the way of change.

Next week I’m off work and thinking of 2 days, 1 night with the kids (13). Last Easter we went to Liverpool. Not London as their Dad (working) will be jealous. Ideas…Manchester? Blackpool? Weather looks a bit meh. Not too far from home (Lichfield). Hit me with your suggestions!

🎧 We're getting ready for the 2025 #IoPPNfestival & chatting with the keynote speakers for our podcast. Ep. 1 features Prof Edmund Sonuga-Barke from @kingsioppn.bsky.social talking to @dbadenoch.bsky.social about RE-STAR: Regulating Emotions – Strengthening Adolescent Resilience

For my own mental health I went for a walk round the block at lunch time and this podcast played 'next' on my feed. Lots of 🍋💡moments on some of the work we are trying to do locally to support YP better. Worth a listen!

It's so great to see how this long held aim of TCS is gaining the support it needs and deserves🎈 Read the full report by @smfthinktank.bsky.social below: www.smf.co.uk/publications...

It went quiet and then I accidentally turned off notifications… #AHPQI network has some new podcast episodes, the #Dowith movement had a fab launch event and #QIweek 2025 is being planned for September with @adh76.bsky.social

What an amazing episode! A must listen for anyone interested in co-production, children and young people’s health care, health inequalities, social determinants of health, use of the arts in health, and reimagining health care.

If you have children work with Children in any capacity, and haven’t already, The BBC lockdown legacy programme is a must listen www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand... In children’s services across agencies are we really making sense and responding to the impact, which will live with us for a generation.

An exciting parcel arrived today - the final scenarios for our #MPFTWhoseShoes project creating new content to help us have the conversations that count! The latest edition relate to SEND - a huge topic that @whoseshoes.bsky.social and @yvonnenewboldmbe.bsky.social have done amazing justice to!

Today is Rare Disease Day. In October my (now 80) year old Mom was diagnosed with a rare disease - Trigeminal Neuralgia. It’s been a heck of a learning journey about this terrible disease and supporting her in navigating getting the right help and get her out of excruciating pain.

“We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history. The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy”

Brilliant work from Dr Paul Evans. Fix poverty, fix health.

Scientists of the world, this is happening on our watch and we need to face it down. Evidence-based medicine weaponised for overtly ideological purposes.

A healthcare conversation: 'I've been struggling lately' Standard response: 'That must be difficult. Let me help you find some solutions.' Clean Language response: 'And when struggling, what would you like to happen?' Small change, big difference in who does the thinking. https://buff.ly/40SeMgO
