@BillKilvington That’s a great collection of badges that speaks to a career well spent.

@ShaunLintern The failures here are so varied and run all the way through the NHS and regulators. Where is the accountability going to come from if we move to a no fault system of litigation? If litigation were the driver of secrecy and cover ups I would accept it - where’s the evidence?

[James Titcombe @JamesTitcombe]

“At a time when families want honesty and real change, we should be strengthening the HSSIB’s role and ensuring evidence based safety recommendations are properly tracked and implemented, not weakening the very independence that makes it credible”

@robjmiller @Truth4OurBabies I hear Katie speak on R4 which was incredibly moving but also so measured and thoughtful.

@ShaunLintern @GreatOrmondSt That word “curiosity” comes up again. How do we instil in the nhs culture and encourage staff to be more so?

Exciting time for our charity as we begin work to develop a new website, with our partners @ElectrifyLIVE.
We hope this project will deliver a modern, accessible, multimedia-friendly website.

NEW: The chief executive of the Care Quality Commission has quit following the announcement of an independent inquiry into maternity care at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

Sir Julian Hartley had spent a decade leading the trust & families had called for his resignation.

Yesterday’s Duty of Candour session was powerful, real,& human. For Peter Walsh and me, empathy & emotional intelligence sit alongside the must do. Book the next public date with HCUK https://t.co/UDpqB860Eo. Or email [email protected]

@duncsand But it’s a Tesla!

[Paul Whiteing @AvMA_CEO]

@duncsand I fear you are talking into the wind on this platform. It’s increasingly toxic.

[Paul Whiteing @AvMA_CEO]

@JamesTitcombe Take it easy James and my advice is to not look at X for a while. Too much of it is toxic.

[Paul Whiteing @AvMA_CEO]

@ShaunLintern If healthcare leaders are driven to toxic behaviours by a league table then I suspect the problem is not the league table but the leader.

@White_Suz @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK I have not heard this episode but that is disappointing and ill informed.
