I live a block away from an asylum hotel and a block up the road from a hostel for single male refugees. I’ve never experienced any problems, folks are just people like any other.

[🌟Ben Allen GP 🌟 @BenAllenGP]

There are legitimate debates to be had about asylum, immigration, accommodation and how we manage it.

But saying that “nobody in the country wants” Afghan men living in their community is simply not true.

I know because we did. 6/6

"Would you like 6 Afghan men living next door to you?
On Radio 4 @LeeAndersonMP_ continued
“You would accept it? Would you kick off about it? Would you think it was a good thing to happen?
The answer is "No"
Nobody in the country wants that"
Well speaking from experience⬇️ 1/6

This is genius. Trust CEO @TobyLewis_NHS interviews local ICB CEO Chris Edwards and puts on on YouTube.
It is great to get a sense of who people in management are, what they do and put faces to names.
Very @rdash_nhs. Thanks

@TobyLewis_NHS @RChillery @GowlandCheryl @rdash_nhs @RDaSH_Culture @glynbutcher **Social Determinants of *TEAM* health** it should read. (We certainly didn't discover the Social Determinants of Health!🤣)

[🌟Ben Allen GP 🌟 @BenAllenGP]

⭐Our story of discovering the 'Social Determinants of Health'⭐
Our GP surgery had high staff turnover, low morale, and poor patient satisfaction.
Now…
As a place to work, staff scored us 9.4/10
Would you recommend our surgery to friends & family? Staff scored us 9.7/10

We still have a long way to go! There was more sweat, tears and failure than the paper may have given voice to.

Interested to hear peoples reflections! 7/7

With in the incredible help from Dr Natalie Jones, we have written up the story and learning for my first publication in BMJ Leader
I'm now working out how the approaches that worked well at a small practice translates to @rdash_nhs

Great to hear the focus on our values last week from @TobyLewis_NHS
One of the highlights of joining RDaSH has been seeing the values that attracted me to to RDaSH are being lived out.
This requires intentionality, operationalisation and reinforcement. Great to see it here.
