England aimed to halve stillbirths by 2025. It missed: 3.8 per 1,000 against a 2.6 target. @gatesfoundation and @WellcomeLeap have put $100m into halving them elsewhere. Has your Trust's maternity report told you why England missed? #NHS #WomensHealth #HealthTech

An attacker claims 80m patient records from a South African lab group. The lab says that counts entries, not people. The attacker's number still leads. How fast could your team count the real people? @InforegulatorSA #CyberSecurity #HealthData

@DeptVetAffairs just put up to $775m behind AI scribes, with @AbridgeHQ among the approved suppliers. Not one dollar is guaranteed.

A framework place is a licence to sell, not a sale. The NHS works the same way.

Founders: how long did your first order take? #HealthTech #NHS

ADHD and autism prevalence in England looks broadly stable. Referrals and diagnoses don't, says the Fonagy Review.

Diagnosis became the ticket to support so everyone queued. @DHSCgovuk is moving to needs-led help. Without capacity the queue just moves. #NHS #NHSInnovation

Every NHS Trust now has to break even on its own. Most of their suppliers haven’t noticed yet.

197 of 221 NHS bodies had a Board paper mentioning a deficit in the first half of the year.

Suppliers, is your pitch still cost neutral? #NHS #NHSInnovation #HealthTech

@McKesson is putting about $1.4bn behind one bet: infusions belong at home. It and @CDRBuilds are taking Option Care Health private for about $5.8bn.

Margin goes to whoever controls the site of care. Who should run it in the NHS? #HealthTech #NHS

@EndometriosisUK @TheMenoCharity @WellbeingofWmen From https://t.co/qfl9ZyvEBO, 221 NHS bodies, Jan to Jun 2026: maternity 4,063 (3,670 with safety, incidents or CQC), gynaecology 990 (713 with waiting or backlog), menopause 293, endometriosis 62.

[Jack Bowman @JackBowman]

Endometriosis came up in 62 of 18,647 NHS Board papers on PublicPapers from January to June. Maternity came up in 4,063, mostly next to safety.

On NHS Boards, women’s health is a risk conversation.

@EndometriosisUK @TheMenoCharity @WellbeingofWmen what would move it up?

Oracle said in 2025 its cloud wasn't breached. Reports now put those affected at nearly 20 million, via legacy Cerner servers awaiting migration.

Your riskiest system is often the one you're switching off. Who still has a login to yours? #Cybersecurity #NHS

Patient capital does well in infrastructure, health, energy and commodities. People can’t live without them.

Conscious capital lets the community grow with the asset. It becomes part of the place, not something to displace.

Your first question on long money? #PatientCapital

[Jack Bowman @JackBowman]

The stop list is the part most strategy papers leave out. If yours doesn’t say what you’ll stop doing, it isn’t finished.

[Jack Bowman @JackBowman]

Most strategies I’m shown are execution plans in disguise.

The plan is the how. A strategy is the what and the why (and what you won’t do).

Which question would your last strategy paper fail? #Strategy

More than 100,000 people have paid $499 for a @Neko scan to see inside their own bodies. 75% book again.

Prevention works when people can see their own data.

Why is it still so hard to see the data the NHS already holds on us? #HealthData #NHS #NHSInnovation #HealthTech
