This is the best obituary of Douglas I have read. I spent over 10 years checking the references to his many ,many papers and had no idea about his dyslexia.

Wow: and now I belatedly see the early work of pioneering NHS SECAmb ambulance trust- which worked to widen 1st Responders, improve CPR - built on the shoulders of such an inspiring medic. May he rest in peace & his legacy continue to push innovation that saves lives & improve outcomes for all.

Great steer- think when EDI leads & Clinicians start acting on basis of gender and race being social constructs- we might be able to dismantle some of the systemic inequalities & inequity that hold the barriers to improvement in place. #UncleCheddar reminder of our shared human history

Many do because of fear? Careful not to conflate Compulsory Redundancy (with shorter limits on re-employment clawbacks & loss of continuity of service) with Voluntary Redundancy currently out to consultation & MARS running with delegated authority until 2027 - www.nhsemployers.org/articles/mut...

Agree: it’s fact that St Paul entreats men not to cover their heads when the pray: yet called on women to cover their heads. 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 - or is this plonker now saying not a Christian thing to do too? #MotherMary #VeiledMary

Guess 15k staff at due to be abolished NHS England might be a bit cheaper to pay-off IF enough opt for Cut-price Voluntary Redundancy scheme? apparently 3000 expressing an interest - time HMTreasury shared a system-wide economic impact assessment ?@rogerkline.bsky.social @laylamoran.bsky.social

ICB predicts 400 staff will get £100k redundancy payouts Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board has proposed shedding up to 400 posts via a voluntary redundancy scheme costing more than £40m.

Redundancy costs for Greater Manchester ICB could be as much as £40m due to NHS reform. There are 42 ICBs in England

I saw many atrocities as a senior aid official in Gaza. Now Israeli authorities are trying to silence us Devastated hospitals, mass graves, bodies eaten by dogs in the street. After speaking out, I discovered my visa will not be renewed, says Jonathan Whittall of UN OCHA

Image of Captain Michael Burnham - kick ass leadership from Star Trek

Agree: Feeling I need to take the CaptainMichaelBurnham school of leadership MBA - that awesome mix of innovation & fostering good relations between people would cut attrition in UK NHS & raise productivity!

I insist on our Star Trek future. I'm going to do everything in my power to make our Star Trek future happen, even if I won't be here to enjoy it.

A message for all NHS NEDs

Cancer patients are being priced out of travel insurance according to the cancer support charity, Maggie’s. I questioned the CEO of the FCA about these reports and he assured me a multi fund review into insurance is being conducted.

Research shining a light: for populations with inflammatory conditions like KeloidDisorder, who died disproportionately of COVID19: #Black & #Bangladeshi asymptomatic COVID19 not being discussed or link made to higher mortality? @drhnaqvi.bsky.social

Cord blood cytokines/chemokines linked to delays in toddlers exposed to SARS-CoV-2 prenatally - Pediatric Research Pediatric Research - Cord blood cytokines/chemokines linked to delays in toddlers exposed to SARS-CoV-2 prenatally

Looking at the impact of maternal COVID infection on neurodevelopment, the authors found: at 6 months, 33.3% of infants exhibited cognitive delays, 20% communication delays, and 40% motor delays, increasing to 35.71%, 64.29%, and 57.14% at 24 months, respectively.

So very sorry for your loss. Unfortunately COVID19 was & remains a dangerous inflammatory illness. Reason it adversely impacted Black & Asian people continues- micro-clots to cytokine storm all being ignored. Despite uptick in excess mortality Gov.UK last month quietly cancelled ethnic data capture.

BME staff are sick of being told lack of career progression is nothing to do with race The Taskforce for Diversity in NHS Communications has uncovered systemic issues affecting BME staff progression, but these can be overcome by concerted action, writes Edna Boampong

Thank you Edna. Telling it like it is.

Messy child's school desk with a spiral notebook in the centre that reads: Our five principles for Send reform

After years of neglect, the SEND system is broken and families have paid the price.

SEND children and their loved ones deserve clarity, better support and a plan that puts children first. 👇

UNISON says despite being accredited counsellors supporting patients with complicated mental health problems, the staff are still receiving trainee rates of pay.

Children with special educational needs deserve the best possible support. We will continue to fight to ensure they are never treated as cash cows by vulture firms.

Sad to say “It’s not new” as you know Roger

NHS E ignoring drivers & impact of racism & discrimination in Restructuring reason I launched my Employment Claim against NHS E. Remedy I want is appointment of an independent KC to review what went wrong then & show how to stop it going wrong now? Shame NHS rather spend £ defending indefensible

The very real risks of discriminatory outcomes in restructuring and redundancies and the need to be proactively aware? This short new guide from NHS Shared Business Services manages to completely avoid this issue. Bizarre.

My next question for @unison.org.uk would be why they ignored demographic change: Disabled staff around 23% - & NHS culture means most don’t or won’t declare- Race Protocol exists - but no Disability Protocol- are we #Invalid?

A very good question. Start by asking the unions why this might be the case?

UncleRoger: Q In NHS what’s the causal link (if any) between the rise of staff equality networks with no facility time & no casework function -but loads of willing volunteers. Unions with no willing volunteers-but loads of casework & unused facility time going begging?
