For many NHS staff, the recent racist violence in this country will leave them feeling afraid and unwelcome. To those colleagues, our message is simple: you are welcome and you are valuable members of our community. Reach out for support if you need it.

Why do quantified performance targets/quality standards frequently fail to deliver their goals? Three core contributing concepts:
1) Goodhart’s Law: “When a metric becomes a target, it ceases to be a good metric".
2) Campbell's Law: “The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures & the more apt it will be to distort & corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor".
3) The Cobra Effect: "Incentives can have undesired & unintended results, potentially harming the very thing that they were intending to improve".
In order to mitigate for these three, we need to:
- regularly revisit the aim
- diversify the metrics (& introduce balancing measures)
- choose metrics that are as close to the aim as possible
- use qualitative as well as quantitative indicators
- make it easier & more rewarding to improve the system rather than game it

Research should be informed by a diversity of public experiences and insights so that it leads to treatments and services that reflect these needs.

Ignoring the role of planning in preventing ill health comes at a considerable cost to our economy.

Yet the most devastating outcome would be to miss a chance to close the gaps in health equity, which continue to cut short people’s lives, says @HubberL

Officially an Outlaw. What a day yesterday at @outlawtriathlon Notts.

Thank you to all my training buddies and the people who have supported me 💕 6hrs39 for a first 70.3 and I loved I too, minus the last 2 mile run when cramp started to set in… #outlawhalfnottingham

Is it normal for anyone else to be awoken at this hour by their cat, doing what sounds like backflips, on a mouse they’ve just brought in through the cat flap? To then go downstairs and rescue the poor thing and set it free? #mouserescue #catmum

From 100k bike rides in the sunshine & having to de-layer on Saturday, to the muddiest & wettest 10k I’ve ever ran on Sunday 😂 What a weekend. #Britishweather #Letsalldothesundance

It's a positive thing to see principles & concepts from social movement thinking being considered and tested as part of organisational and system change practice for health and care. See this from the International Journal of Nursing Studies: https://t.co/l28eMpl3ro Thank you @TCI_ca
