Is Second Health still a thing? Asking for a friend.

@kieran_walshe And I was using algorithms and machine learning. I even used data at one point.

[Cassander Grey @CCGCassander]

@kieran_walshe Really interesting paper. I've tried to predict CQC rating based on quality indicators, too, and couldn't get a model that was much better than random guessing. Very lopsided distribution CQC ratings toward Good/Outstanding didn't help.

@HPIAndyCowper AdBlock and the Ghostery extension (blocks third-party plugins) make it just about tolerable for me, but the auto-play videos are still incredibly irritating

Doing some work on PCNs. Immediate takeaway: they have some interesting names. Current favourite is Berwick-upon-Tweed's Well Up North PCN.

The Friends and Family Test will no longer ask about friends or family. Even for the FFT, this seems faintly ridiculous. But I suppose #Taggart carried on for 15 years without the titular character, so... https://t.co/gJv5yCtpQh

I don't know which is worse: that a small child in a restaurant thought that I might be a YouTuber, or that I felt a pang of sadness as I informed them that I wasn't

@PeteDeveson I'm not a doctor and I voted yes. I knew about the radiation dose risk outweighing the chance of any medical benefit - but I'm a sucker for new experiences

@HPIAndyCowper Have you considered becoming a cryptocurrency evangelist instead? I'm building a new distributed app to solve waiting times by letting hospitals store patients on the blockchain.

@LawrenceDunhill @ncarding Have you looked at the Patient-Led Assessments of the Care Environment (PLACE) data? There are some questions about the condition of the premises, particularly focusing on accessibility for patients with mobility needs.

That has been true for some time.

Except, the NHS isn't that keen on recruiting qualified people or paying them enough to stay around and make an impact.

@janedreaper I started this last year for comparison of waiting lists across UK countries - just waiting for the ONS to produce 2018 population data later this month to update - https://t.co/ggN50fiYKr

@MatesJacob I think the Brexit Party told him to close it: https://t.co/LtVOtWcEnE

I can see why they don't want him; he's posted Islamophobic slurs on Gab and recently tried to recruit for the Democrats and Veterans party using old Rhodesian army slogans.

[SophieM @SophieRose19x]

@Otto_English The Times published an article today about Islamophobia in Brexit Party supporters FB groups pages, the largest one being Brexit Party - Supporters, run by Luke Nash Jones and it had 14k members. A mod on that page posted this earlier
