September is a busy month, so my treadmill runs feel even more important for my mental health. I’m so grateful to all the YouTubers, who record their runs, so that I can run around the world (especially Hawaii). Happy Aloha Friday everyone 🤙😃🧠💪🏃‍♂️🏝️

Sign up to walk, cycle, dance or stretch this June for hospice care and people like Eric. Eric has Multiple System Atrophy - a rare neurological disorder that affects movement, balance and bodily functions, which, as an artistic individual, mean he’s had to find new ways to express creativity.

Dear Prime Minister, Nearly 6 in 10 hospices have made or are considering cuts to frontline services this year. This can't continue. Hospice staff and the people who rely on them are speaking out in this video 👉 youtu.be/WEVd5BCxXCo

Hospices provide dignity and comfort at the end of life, and vital support for families and loved ones. But they wouldn’t exist without people like you. Leave a gift in your Will to a hospice close to your heart and help protect the future of hospice care. www.thisishospicecare.org.uk

Digital skills and capacity continue to be a sticking point for many hospices. Many hospices still report a lack of time, confidence or in house expertise to fully use their technology, echoing the findings from 2024. www.hospiceuk.org/innovation-h...

In 2025, hospice are: - Focusing on cyber security and integration, continuing to build the basics that make other improvements possible. - Paying more attention to AI, with interest growing compared with 2024, even if most hospices still need to strengthen core systems first.

Steve Thorlby-Coy @stevetc.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

In 2025, hospices are: - More digitally confident, considering themselves in the Advancing or Advanced - More likely to have a tech plan (a big rise since last year) although only half review plans regularly at senior level. - Investing more in digital, helped by NHS England capital funding

“Culture and strategy must be woven together to make a single basket.” This resonates strongly with me rn as we bring refreshed people and culture plans. A more intentional approach to culture will shape how we work, so we can deliver our strategy, make a difference. (Owen Eastwood Belonging 2021)
