@asifamhp In my view it’s a start and should help ask the right questions about performance and improvement where appropriate as well as saying well done in those Trusts getting it right. Great to see my local Trust well up the list.

@hundredfamilies It’s helpful to see more details being provided about the performance of NHS organisations. Clearly the more we see over time the better we understand the quality of services. Lots to do to increase local accountability especially with the end of HealthWatch imminent.

Confirmation that #NRSHealthcare is being wound up. It was a major supplier of a wide range of equipment, such as wheelchairs, walking frames + complex health aids, to NHS & councils. Local authorities spent last few weeks getting plans in place to try to limit disruption.

And of course libraries are so much more than just reading…. Community hubs, warm spaces, touch points etc. But of course #thelaughingrobot available to enjoy.

@Davewwest @wesstreeting Health Visitors and District Nurses so important to the left shift as well as supporting the neighbourhoods agenda. Helping keep people healthy and independent equally important to support the Social Care system.

On #InternationalNursesDay2025 it's great news @DHSCgovuk has announced the title 'nurse' will be protected in law: reassurance for the public & #socialcare nurses that only those legally permitted to use the title can do so. Read my blog for more updates: https://t.co/BlSo281wW1
