Happy birthday to British typographer & graphic designer Margaret Calvert 🎈🎂⁣

Calvert’s work in transforming the UK’s road signage system, to the wayfinding at railway stations & airports, has been central in shaping much of our national visual identity.

The climate crisis is a health crisis.

We have published a new NHS design principle to encourage anyone who is designing digital products and services for the NHS to consider the environmental impacts of their designs. #sustainability #designprinciple #NHS

@rachelcoldicutt Have a look at the rigorous work of @jms_wright on care robots in Japan. I did a blog piece on it here: https://t.co/pe5YkNCAZt

Do you know a musician with a small-but-committed worldwide following they can't easily tour? We're doing our first wave of @CastRoomsHQ shows with musicians 🎙️

People we work with get free access and hands-on support for their show 💪🏼

@ClaireHamlet Indeed! I’ll definitely be in touch when I have a little more free time - let’s see what we can do!

[Jesmond Allen @jesmond]

@ClaireHamlet Thanks for your talk at UX Healthcare. 100% agree trust is so vital in digital health and if trust is lost, it's gone forever... I notice you're in Bristol - me too. Is there any sort of digital health UX community here...?

[Jesmond Allen @jesmond]

@ClaireHamlet Was just thinking that myself! Would you be interested if I tried to get something informal going...? (Won't be immediately, I'm currently studying full time)

[Jesmond Allen @jesmond]

@ClaireHamlet Yeah, there are *loads* of ux folk in Bristol, and it’s a lovely friendly community. It’s the “healthcare” tribe I’m less sure where to find! There’s lots of academics in the digital health space, but I’m interested in finding folks with a UCD slant…

The escalating rates of avoidable ill health, planetary damage, and inequity caused by some commercial actors demand a commensurate response.

Making the cover this week, a new Lancet Series on commercial determinants of health. https://t.co/y6NigZxuJ2

The NHS website has a new public roadmap, and I've written a thing about how we created it: https://t.co/V2Im8uLspb

@DeanVipond Meetup have started this awful gamification thing along the lines of ONLY 2 MORE RSVPS UNTIL 25 - wtaf? Who cares?! If I want to go to a meetup I’ll go to a meetup. Sooo needy.

[Jesmond Allen @jesmond]

@SarahWilkieRya1 Nooooooo!

Hi, currently exploring a potential PhD project in self-management and menstrual cycles in #cysticfibrosis - currently looking for an academic which might be suitable for supervision. I am a digital health CDT student which is EPSRC funded at Uni of Bristol

[Kate isn't really here any more @katebevan]

Good post from @ruskin147 and I too am surprised how little news coverage the Nature piece about the Covid app got. It saved *thousands* of lives, and despite the slow start and the general fuckwittage around it, it was by any definition a big success. https://t.co/KnhNzcy1Ek
