Recommendations for progressing Quality Management Systems
1. Leaders must set the vision, direction and culture for QMS, connecting your strategy to everyday work. This will involve ensuring resource and skills for delivery.
2. Co-develop meaningful shared language and understanding of QMS at all levels of your organisation, including staff, patients and leaders.
3. Position QMS as an evolution of your quality work. Start by mapping existing strengths and build on these.
4. Ensure the four components of QMS are well connected and function dynamically – planning, improvement, control and assurance.
5. Commit for the long term while celebrating short-term success. Connect QMS to staff and patient priorities.
6. Actively involve patients and service users in QMS, setting clear expectations for their involvement and providing appropriate support.
7. Invest in good data infrastructure (both technical and human) to drive learning and connection between QMS components.
8. Pursue ongoing learning about QMS internally and externally bringing in specialist support providers if required.
9. Contribute to the evidence base through systematic evaluation. Start by assessing your QMS but move focus towards patient outcomes as your work develops.

Guardian will no longer post on Elon Musk’s X from its official accounts
Platform’s coverage of US election crystallised longstanding concerns about its content, says Guardian
Big news from Guardian Towers this morning...
The Guardian has announced it will no longer post content on Elon Musk’s X from official accounts.
(I'm staying put - for now - as feel it's important to at least try to retain some balance there).

This is such a great piece of research from @carmenvillaecon.bsky.social. Convincing causal evidence that youth club closures in London led to more teenagers engaging in criminal behaviour (around 1 extra offender for every 500 local teenagers) and worse educational outcomes at age 16.
