"People in Scotland now die younger than in any other Western European country. People spend more of their lives in ill health. The gap in life expectancy between the poorest & the wealthiest is growing" Paul Johnston of @P_H_S_Official writes for #NHS2048 reformscotland.com/nhs2048/founda…
When @AmazonUK make a delivery and you are out of the country for the next 10 days - is this really good enough?
Leaders are so busy managing day to day pressure; relentless demand that it feels like there’s no time, capacity, headspace to rethink mission or purpose. Dedicating precious time to carefully reconsider & redefine role & purpose is essential for public services. What are we for?
It's ten years since I wrote "The new era of thinking and practice in change and transformation: A call to action for leaders of health and care" with Steve Fairman, in the very early days of @HorizonsNHS. It's been downloaded many tens of thousands of times. The core messages…
Yet again @ScotRail offering no WiFi on the 08:09 from Auchinleck to Dumfries - carriage number 57453. How do you expect to attract 21st Century commuters when you offer a 20th Century service?

This is great news for D&G. I've worked with Julie for many years and she's an outstanding leader who will be brilliant in the role. A huge improvement on the current bloke.

Yet again @ScotRail - no WiFi on your 08:09 service from Auchinleck to Dumfries - carriage number 57514 showing ‘hidden network’ only - why can’t you provide the basic service people need to commute effectively?
@JohnLewisRetail *UPDATE* @ao have now delivered/removed/installed replacement washing machine - showed client it working, cleaned up minimal mess etc. Took them 20minutes total - client very happy 😃 Still awaiting response from JLP 🤨
Once again @ScotRail - no WiFi on the 08:09 Auchinleck to Dumfries train (carriage number 57514). This is not an acceptable level of service for those of us who have to work during our commute. What are you doing to improve WiFi reliability?

AN EVENT aimed at shaping how digital and technological solutions are used within health and social care is taking place today. Anyone working or volunteering in this field is invited to the event at the University of West of Scotland Dumfries campus, running until 4pm.
CONSULTATION on the future of Maternity Services in Wigtownshire is set to begin, after two options were presented to Dumfries and Galloway Health and Social Care IJB today. dghscp.co.uk/two-options-fo…
Actions to address the region’s bed-based intermediate care needs were agreed at today’s meeting of Dumfries and Galloway Integration Joint Board (IJB). Read more here: dghscp.co.uk/actions-agreed…
Absolute disgrace @ScotRail - as a paying train customer, I should not have to pay to use your toilets at Fort William train station - free access to such facilities are the very least your customers should expect
🆕Shifting care out of hospital and into the community has been a long-term aim but minimal progress has been made. @sjanereed & Emma Dodsworth look at how other countries have built up community services and explore lessons to be learnt for England. nuffieldtrust.org.uk/resource/build…
Please spare a RT for all the cleaning staff across the NHS who help keep facilities safe for patients and visitors 💙

I’ve watched good people change the minute they get power. Discarding previous allies & align themselves with those they think can elevate them further & who fawn to their new status. It’s such a shame to watch this happen. When we lose the sense of ourselves we make poor leaders

I was cycling today on 20mph road Got beeped by the car behind The car then overtook me, shouting out the window not to cycle in the ‘middle of the road’ The car was a police van I chased the police van down and made them stop. There were 3 policemen in the van 1/
I asked them to tell me what I was doing wrong (I was doing nothing wrong) and why they had beeped at me After a 5 min argument on the street, they asked me for ID and wrote down my details I’m still fuming Firstly, I am FED UP of drivers being aggressive towards cyclists…
Moreover, I do not expect this type of behaviour from the police Using their position to intimidate people I knew I was not in the wrong. And I am in a privileged position that I felt able to argue my case with the police Many people are not in the position 3/
I was cycling on the left-hand side, of the right lane Because I was about to turn right And the left lane was a bus lane, and a bus was behind me
For the avoidance of doubt Here’s the Highway Code highwaycode.org.uk/cyclists/ @metpoliceuk I would appreciate you sharing this with your colleagues 👍🏽
