I just can’t enjoy fireworks now I know how much distress they cause. I don’t know the best compromise but this petition is doing well and at 100k sigs will be considered for debate in Parliament so I’m getting behind it. Please consider signing and sharing. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Petition: Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only

Ban the sale of fireworks to the general public to minimise the harm caused to vulnerable people and animals. Defenceless animals can die from the distress caused by fireworks. I believe that permitt...

💡 Just discovered my AI browser can breeze through online quizzes—the very ones many of us use for mandatory training. So here’s the real question: Are we finally witnessing the (long overdue) end of point-and-click eLearning? #elearning #AI #learningdesign #instructionaldesign #futureofwork

Met police arrested a woman in her 90s today, and a number of retired medics (amongst others). This is not right. We need to protect our democratic right to protest. They were peaceful protesters doing nothing more than holding a sign with non-violent words. This cannot be a crime.

This report covers a lot, including a deep dive into healthcare, but a key takeaway for me is how important AI literacy is perceived, and the news that the latest version of their digital competency framework, DigComp 3.0, will include AI-related competences. op.europa.eu/en/publicati...

Excellent poster presentations again this year - found some nice digitally themed ones #NHSScot25

We need the right foundations in place, starting with basic access and infrastructure issues addressed alongside improved digital skills to enable that innovation #NHSScot25

Integrated care has failed by every measure and this has felt like the worst year yet - real disconnect between the political intent and what’s happening locally #NHSScot25

Reassuring to hear a commitment to bold thinking, innovation, and better use of digital from @johnswinney.bsky.social at #NHSScot25 👏👏👏

No recognition of the need for whole system reform. Key message is that IJBs need to find ways to transform services so they are affordable — and also invest in prevention & early intervention. It’s no surprise that COs & CFOs are leaving when they’re left holding the baby.

It’s hard to deliver transformation in a sector with no capacity for change, and I don’t believe it’s in the gift of those working locally to solve this. National policies, guidance and support to reduce risk/duplication would help, as would seed funding, and more national systems & solutions
