A clinician turned organisational development specialist supporting clinicians remove the barriers to excellent person centred value based and £ value care
This is Frank and he has had a coffee stand at the top of the steps at Bethnal Green tube for as long as I can remember.
When the new restaurant/coffee shop next door opened along with another high street outlet opening across the street, Frank suddenly found that his license from the council had been revoked and he was chucked off his stand.
I believe it was to make way for these new shops to take his regular custom. They didn’t need him in the way of gaining maximum profit... so Frank was gone.
Well the locals were having none of it and a petition started demanding his return.
How dare they do this to him.
How dare these people smash his business and leave him with nothing.
After a lot of pressure the council backed down and Frank had his licence and pitch returned to him but sadly by that time Frank had sold his equipment to feed his family and try to survive.
So the good people of Bethnal Green started crowdfunding and here’s the result... Frank back in business on his old pitch with brand new equipment and even a little hut now to shelter him from the rain... Brilliant!!
He is truly the happiest man in East London and it’s wonderful to see.
It really does show that if we all stick together, stand up to them and just say no... the little guy can win.
If you’re in Bethnal Green come and have a coffee with this lovely man. 🧡

Covid Corruption Commissioner to be appointed by Labour
I’ve been speaking to @RachelReevesMP for about 18 months about VIP PPE Lane, corruption & YOUR comments and views.
She listened
Here she is ⏬️
VOTE TACTICALLY to stop the Tories
The 5 patient story applies here. A patient discharged timely means someone can move into that bed from AMU, AMU take a patient from ED, a patient handover from ambulance crew to ed so the crew can return to the patient waiting at home
Horror as terminally ill woman 'forced to sleep on floor' while waiting in A&E - Mirror Online. This is awful, but why does someone with a wholly predictable complication of treatment need to come to an ED? Where’s the acute oncology service? https://t.co/jMxQi0kTaN

“Greedy” junior doctors?!
Look at the HUGE pay cut they’ve had over the last 14 years- whilst at the same time MPs have given themselves a 35% PAY RISE
They’re asking for pay restoration to go from £15to £21/hour
£21/hr for the people that save our lives
@BMA_JuniorDocs
Oh my, this is is brilliant from @RobLaurensonD4P
🚨 Strike action has cost the govt £3bn
🚨 Full pay restoration would have only cost £1.3bn
🚨 Re 35% demand - a physician’s assistant is paid 35% more than a fully qualified doctor 🤬🤬🤬
@Laurenharrhy85@DrRobgalloway Human factors indeed
Why is healthcare so resistant to learning re human factors ? @doctorcaldwell developed checklists for adult medicine to help with the deteriorating patient no diagnosis and struggled to get colleagues to adopt. I in my small way tried to help
I tweet quite a bit - but this one is different and perhaps the most important I’ve ever written
I hope it gets shared as much as possible, so new parents don't make the same mistake I nearly made (even as a dad of five, having worked in A&E for 23 years and someone who teaches about not missing a diagnosis because of cognitive biases).
Our 6 week old baby is getting discharged today from @TheAlexBrighton@UHSussex after receiving the best possible care for meningitis.
She is doing really well and as a family we can't begin to express our gratitude to all involved.
The day she came in, she was not herself but nothing which particularly worried us. But my wife did her temperature, and it was over 38C.
As she was under 3 months, it meant she needed to be seen in A&E ASAP. By the time we got to A&E she was really quite sick even though it was only 30mins after taking her temperature.
I initially dismissed her signs and initially even questioned why my wife did her temperature. I had a cognitive bias, twisting my thinking to believing she was ok because that is what I wanted her to be, when she wasn't- a positivity bias.
Please if you are worried about your new baby - be like my wife and not me, check their temperature, use your gut instinct and don't delay getting the help your baby needs. @M_R_F
