To Scunthorpe & a reminder that the NHS isn’t alone in facing massive uncertainty. We need collaboration more than ever, to support each other through challenging times. There’s real energy & commitment here & passion for the place and the people. I’m looking forward to getting to know both

Yesterday was full of light & family & spring. We saw a sign in the sky, walked 7 miles, ate ice lollies…I managed to fit in 2 meetings and blood tests at RLI.

If you couldn’t stay in the UK - because of war, societal collapse, political fear - where would you try to get to? Why?

Today with leaders in NLincs, piloting a model for INT development and we’re starting with action learning. Is it the best method to translate learning into action that supports change? My former coach #johnburgoyne thought so. He taught me a lot.

The state needs to work for everyone- children, pensioners, disabled and sick people. Most have paid or will pay taxes and are entitled to a state that values them.

So many beautiful songs & magical to hear them sung live. This song by Karine Polwart had huge resonance for me (ie made me cry). My scars will never truly heal but I am here, and I’m still growing.

This is more true when you’re trying to think in a language not your own. I have just had a conversation with my French neighbour about the fence that divides our land & his peacocks who don’t care for fences. No English, no Google translate. I got a lot wrong, but we managed.

Can we afford to wait years for a report on what’s needed to reform social care? There are no easy solutions but we know what works: it’s systemic, joined-up, focused on people, preventative, integrated, locally-driven as opp to top-down. Great example here from Adam Lent @thekingsfund.bsky.social

linkedin.com

How one council cut its social care waiting list by 80% by ‘doing with’ rather than ‘doing to’.

Take a good look at this graph. It’s pretty jaw-dropping - but in a good way.

Rest in peace, Jimmy Carter. Thank you for being one of the remarkable people who demonstrated that what's often thought of as time for retirement is when some among us reach their prime. Thank you for your feminism, your advocacy for Palestinians, your hands-on Habitat for Humanity work....
