We don't have to have formal authority to be able to influence. Hierarchical systems can replicate parent–child relationships & create oppressive work environments. Leading without relying on authority is a higher evolutionary skill. Eight ways that all of us can influence without authority: https://t.co/deIwKCFpJi By @JesseLynStoner. Graphic: @tnvora

@PhilippaYoulden Congratulations Philippa. I know where to come 😊

@Gazzane @NeckCatherine @NHSscw Couldn’t agree more - being in remission isn’t the same as being ‘back to normal’ - the emotional baggage and the impact of anniversaries (surgery, first chemo, last chemo, last radiotherapy, being told you are in remission etc) take their toll. Support is needed beyond treatment

This is important. Nine years ago I started my treatment. It could have been earlier if I had known the signs. I am now in remission and well. Don’t put off getting checked out if you are worried. #WBCD #lymphoma #LymphomaAware

Inspiring session this morning listening to those involved in informing Claire Fuller’s report.

[Nicole Atkinson @NicoleSAtkinson]

Fantastic to see @NHSConfed supporting the launch of the Fuller Stocktake report on this morning’s webinar #PCNetwork #ICSNetwork

Another example of kite-flying by the Department.
What GPs need right now is a bigger workforce, support for new ways of working and better premises. I can’t see how being taken over by hospitals will address any of these issues.

@paulbcornwall @RCHTWeCare @LymphomaAction @bloodcancer_uk @Cure_FL Talk about the personal challenges we face during treatment 🙂. I for one couldn’t resist those eyes 👀. The ‘double flush’ instruction is the one that makes me smile.

@geoffwitters @StLukesPlymouth @JustGiving So sorry to read this Geoff. What a lovely act of remembrance - paying it forward.

[Alison Westmacott-Allen @AllenWestmacott]
