Glad to share a short paper colleagues & I have published in Lancet Primary Care today discussing how a lack of visual fidelity in patient-generated images risks compromising care.

Instead of chosing to do better, rise to the challenge, face moral & societal responsibility head on, successive government's chose to water down already wafer thin legislation, do less, and become less inclusive.

We must watch this very carefully.

Pupils' SEND support to be reviewed after primary, leaked plans suggest Leaks suggest plans for a complete redesign of special educational needs and disabilities support in schools.

"The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members".

The rhetoric about SEND pupils having their support plans "Reviewed" is a shady veil of lies for providing more and more opportunities for REMOVAL not review.

Wales is fixing its ambulance service β€” by sending out fewer ambulances The Welsh ambulance service was in a dangerous crisis. Now drones, volunteers, video calls and AI are helping call handlers in Newport send ambulances only to the 999 callers who really need one

Great to have featured in today's Sunday Times magazine discussing my work & aspirations in digital clinical care alongside other Welsh Ambulance colleagues -from business as normal pressures, drones, volunteers, AI, remote observations & new response models.

Last week I had the pleasure to run a 30 minute session with WASTs wider digital leadership team on "The power of publishing normal work & where it leads".

Publishing shares evidence, creates a further sense of achievement, can be used in future bids, leads to future study (PhDs) & supports growth.

SEND in the Spotlight - Introducing... Send in the Spotlight - BBC Sounds Real stories, bold ideas: Reimagining support for special educational needs

The special educational needs system is widely considered to be broken. Put simply, demand is outstripping supply, and too many children are being left without the support they need or having to go to school far away from home.

Companies have decided to pay people less who work remotely, even if they have more expertise and/or provide more value to a company than certain people who go into the office.

Guess who needs remote jobs more? Marginalized groups! especially disabled people! What a coincidence! 🫠

Wiley retracts study stolen by reviewer, following Retraction Watch coverage A Wiley journal has retracted a paper more than a year after a researcher reported the work was hers and had been stolen by a reviewer for another journal. As we reported in July, Shafaq Aftab, now…

Well done Shafaq Aftab. When a reviewer stole her work and published it under his own name, she fought for a YEAR to get the journal to retract the paper. Just wondering why it took Wiley a YEAR to do this. πŸ§ͺ #academicsky
