Great talk about how EPR satisfaction is not EPR dependent rather approach and training. Poor implementation a major factor for #physicianburnout @thmswebb.bsky.social 🩺🖥️ #rcpsychdata25

The dystopian films never show the part where you're just hoping the bad guy is too stupid to accomplish his goals

Got re elected on to TechUk health and social care council didn't I! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. Quite surprised tbh but I'll definitely take it

There's a lot wrong with Wes Streeting's approach. Too much to write in detail here, but the basic issue is that NHS provider organisations work in a fiendishly complex system where performance is impacted by a myriad of factors.

Pretty wild that, in a system where we say there is a “productivity crisis” in hospitals and we don’t really understand what is causing it, we think we can centrally produce league tables and sack the managers of the organisations at the bottom.

Oh dear god, the world is screwed

I'm looking forward to work tomorrow. How weird is that?

I've had too many reasons to say this lately, but - when you really need it to be - the NHS really is freaking amazing. So many excellent people going out of their way to make things better with great kindness and expertise. ❤️

There is a lot of focus on NHS productivity right now, so we're revisiting an article by our CEO @thmswebb.bsky.social that set out how the NHS could make some pretty quick, and pretty effective, productivity gains. https://buff.ly/41lwhFY #DigitalHealthcare #DigitalTransformation #NHS

Call with an NHS Trust this morning how about to incorporate assessing the usability of the EPR they're procuring. It's never really been done before in the NHS. These things cost multiple £ms a year, and no one has ever thought to try to use it before a 10+ year contract. Absolutely mind boggling.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #6,113,718!

It is far from clear that Labour yet know what to do about improving the NHS. The Darzi Review is fine: it tells health experts nothing they didn’t already know. Its main, unstated purpose is about the allocation of political blame. It does that quite effectively.

I will!! Come along if you want to learn about how the NHS (English and Welsh) compares to the rest of the world in the user experience of its clinical systems, why it matters and what we can do to improve it

The Darzi review feels like a massive stalling exercise. Has said absolutely nothing that hasn't been said for decades now sadly. Seems just like an exercise in shaping public narrative.

My team at the ONS is organising the first ever UK Statistics Assembly to discuss with users and producers, the country’s priorities and needs for statistics. Visit to register and complete the call for contributions ⬇ uksa.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/uk-statistic...

Read @thmswebb.bsky.social's view on how and why the NHS must improve its approach to implementing electronic patient records (EPRs). https://buff.ly/4c0zX4D #DigitalHealthcare #DigitalTransformation #NHS

More good stuff from the Darzi review being pre-briefed. He is absolutely right that the NHS is “undercapitalised” compared with other health systems Since 1970, there have only been 2 years when we've invested more than the OECD average www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

It seems to me that govts and media seem to swing between criticising NHS managers and criticising management consultants working with the NHS. It's almost like the NHS is a fiendishly complex system, chronically under-managed and starved of capital to address long term issues 🤷🏼‍♂️ 🤷🏼‍♂️

Spent most of today driving across miles and miles of empty foggy north pennines, with lunch at the best services in the UK (yes, Tebay) in the middle. Came back to find @ethicalhealthcare.bsky.social has won an award. Lovely day.

Happy Flying Ant Day!!

This is me 👇🏻. I'm doing this. It's gone down incredibly well every time I've done something similar. What our user experience of systems is like in the NHS (spoiler, it's totally shite), why it matters (is harming patients but also staff) and how we can improve it (not as hard as it seems).

Please enjoy Fox on a roof at sunset. 🦊

So it seems lovely on here. Lots of signal and very little noise. Just a small number of people I like and respect saying things I'm interested in.

This is going to be a fantastic digital health conference - openEHR conference November 2024. Please come along there are some amazing speakers #digitalhealth #healthIT #openEHR conference.openehr.org
