Jimmy Kimmel taken off the air on one side of the pond. On the other, @ledbydonkeys.org face arrest for projecting well known images and information onto a building. The irony of the freedom-of-speech dialogue really couldn't be any more blunt.

It's still jarring to see neutral language like this used - the famine isn't 'unfolding' like some natural disaster, it's being planned and executed by Israel. A man-made, violent catastrophe of horrifying proportions.

The context of increasing threats to abortion rights around the world makes this new guidance all the more alarming.

I used BPAS' tool to email my MP, David Lammy about this issue - it's quick and easy. Contact your MP and help keep the pressure up.

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.

Perhaps the democratic party has been humbled but I'm not sure I believe this about the broader resistance of the people?

Headlines like these make me wonder if they're designed to bait out the 'resistance' in to being louder and more determined in the face of it.

Curious to know - do you link to Bandcamp because it's better for artists? Or a preferred platform for other reasons?

Yes sounds good - I'll drop you a DM for deets.

Local-ish, I think the throws of the rental market mean I've moved a couple of times since we were last in touch, but have managed to stay in the same postcode.
Perhaps we can go for that very overdue coffee sometime soon!
