Digitising the NHS and adult social care | Out today - the amounts seem huge and I am sure there is a lot of wariness after previous attempts but if we are to reap the benefits of digital in healthcare its not going to be done without significant investment. www.health.org.uk/reports-and-... 🩺🖥️

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Healthcare senior management saying they “dont do digital” (DDD) should be as unacceptable as saying they don’t do safety, quality or effectiveness. Lack of digital awareness is not a badge of honour! #digitalhealth #🩺🖥️

Is it time to rename the genus Raoultella to Elisabethbikella?! #idsky

Big mail day here.

Aspergillus was named by Pier Antonio Micheli, an Italian priest and biologist. The molds resembled an aspergillum, a holy water sprinkler.

So many follows from obvious bots with AI generated philosophical and profound statements that must have used tech english instruction manuals from China as the training set! Block block block!

Some great papers in there #AMS

So true!

Today's lesson discusses the American health care system for those in countries where their system provides care for free or reasonable fees. 👇

I don’t care about how much engagement you get on bluesky. Nobody cares how much engagement you get on bluesky. Fuck how much engagement you get on bluesky. Talk about literally anything else for the love of god.

The shooting of the United Healthcare CEO just highlights how toxic and unequal US healthcare has become. People angry enough to shoot him, and for many others to feel that he had it coming. I’ll take my 1 year wait in the #NHS anytime thank you! #freeatthepointofaccess

Is it just me or are other people getting followed by bott accounts usually with a picture of a women who is obviously a model and postings of statements that sound profound but are just AI drivel? Blocking button is being overused. Not sure of the point of them?

Hauntingly beautiful music from the Idrisi Ensemble. Old Roman chant that preceded the Gregorian chant. Their first release open.spotify.com/track/44PHS9... #medieval

Time to stop defining this platform as a “not X” and just get on being Bluesky. X is dead, long live Bluesky.

Today’s poem is dedicated to all those who have taken it upon themselves to correct the grammar or spelling in my poems over the last few weeks. It’s called ‘Pedents’.

What I love about this app is the subject of many of the starter packs. Some are so niche and offbeat. Fantastic! #bluesky #diversity

My retro Spectrum arrived today. Very excited! Allowed a middle aged man to relive his youth. #zxspectrum #sinclair #retro #1980’s

Agree - don’t want Bluesky to become just Truthsocial for liberals.

Digital data systems hold a lot of promise, but we should avoid ‘techno-utopian’ views of digital technologies as straightforward ways to fix problems in routine health information systems. Our qualitative paper 'Data for whom?' is now out in BMJ Global Health! gh.bmj.com/content/9/11...

Have your say on this survey about the clinical digital systems in the NHS. #DigitalHealth #ClinicalInformatics

Oh yes a classic. Here it is from 2021. Have you ever wondered what the collapse of the NHS would actually look like? It's in the small things - my latest Independent newsletter: link.e.independent.co.uk/view/60e48d536…link.e.independent.co.uk/view/60e48d5...ba

Excellent presentation by Lis Neubeck from Edinburgh-Napier on dig solutions for 🫀problems at #SDHPD2024. Her insights hold for use cases way beyond just 🫀. One startling statement was that there was a 98% attrition rate with health apps. Much of this is down to poor design. 🩺🖥️ #digitalhealth

New paper from my colleagues at UCLH Nearly 70% (!!!) resistance to Cefiderocol in NDM positive bacteria. Cefiderocol...we hardly knew ye... Perfect timing for World Antimicrobial Awareness Week #waaw24 #IDSky academic.oup.com/jac/advance-...

Agree especially NHS central bodies NHSE etc

Most days!
