“It is often said that our children represent our greatest investment in the future. So far as mankind is concerned, they are the future and it is the investment we make in them-what we contribute to their early, formative years-which can ultimately make or break mankind.” - Lord Lovell-Davis, 1977

Picture of Clare Allcock and text from her blog, "Without authentic local engagement, even the best national plan becomes top-down imposition."

Plans don't change things, people do.
Clare Allcock outlines what we learned from our work engaging more than 3,700 health and care staff to help shape the 10 Year Health Plan, and what staff need to make it successful: www.kscopehealth.org.uk/blog/10-year...

My first chat! Loved the questions and space to share #qisky thanks @jokitchen.bsky.social @lourodrigues.bsky.social @robind100.bsky.social and others

At the time I didn’t realise I was ‘doing QI’ 😂 only when I was awarded a prize for Trainee QI projects

💯 😊

Q3: values-based as a strategy or approach or a personal characteristic? Prob needing all of the above to be an authentic leader without being consumed by the politics and power dynamics and still achieve meaningful outcomes not just ‘KPIs’ #QIsky

I didn’t think these needed to be mutually exclusive… it’s possible to keep EDI at the heart of our values… helps to have like-minded and like-hearted courageous people to journey with… #QIsky dreamteam?

Hello from 🇬🇧 #QISky

Imms advisory clinic replying to referrals… examined the data to better understand years of referrals… idea of a Q&A sheet to the top 3 most asked questions…

we significantly reduced the referral rate and equipped referrers than just to decline referrals… #partnership #savedtime #educationtraining

Q1:
Tbh QI didn’t seem v interesting, at first, another thing to boost the CV… but when QI came to life through seeing meaningful change, ah… that’s when the #QISky revelation happened… it felt natural to seek continuous improvement… always learning, keeping patient-centred

Great to join the chat today #QISky how’s #QIWeek2025 going?

Was thinking about #DigitalHealth and #QI this afternoon…

I still find it incredible that Douglas Adams predicted this about 30 years ago:

Here’s some cool stuff you can do with Bluesky It’s not just an Alf pics repository.

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this.

Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

A photo of me speaking at a conference. Behind me is a slide that says reframing our language with the words wellbeing and resilience

Let's be clear,

Wellbeing in healthcare is not fluffy stuff.

It's about workload, staffing, systems & culture.

It's about valuing our own needs,
modelling humanity & vulnerability,
Creating spaces where people feel able to be authentic & ask for help.

Wellbeing must be a priority.
