@davidcorbett74 @nickex5 @NHSX 😂😂😂

I meant Tech UK should be GIVEN a budget to subsidise interop developments.

[Les Manley @Les_Manley]

@davidcorbett74 @nickex5 We could all do with investment but I’m sure system-wide capital and revenue funding would get us there more quickly.

What about suppliers too? Tech UK (*other partnerships are available* 😉) could award funding to members in order to deliver interoperability more quickly.

My wife doesn’t really like beer. I know 🤷‍♂️. However, she is tucking into a chestnut beer I made for the season.

Merry Christmas!

@tazcroc I’m guessing you found it! 🤭😂

@tazcroc Search Google for “dog launches downstairs”. 😲

@JKMVidimo Understood and agreed.

We have a broad agenda, shared care records is just one thread among many.

Stay tuned...

[Les Manley @Les_Manley]

Yesterday I was invited to a trainers event to discuss how they could better use technology. In return I asked them to help me to deliver digital skills training to the workforce.

Earlier in the week, how technology can help improve recruitment and retention.

Where next?

[Les Manley @Les_Manley]

@JKMVidimo Good call. We have a system-wide mental health discussion planned along these lines in January.

We also have a system-wide shared care record project in-flight to underpin some of these care pathway transformations.

Big agenda, lots going on.

[Les Manley @Les_Manley]

@stevefuller Excellent questions Steve and a great challenge - as always 😉

The machines are faster to start up but that’s all I can say at this point.

We need to run some analytics for a while - we use Nexthink among other tools for this.

[Les Manley @Les_Manley]

On Wednesday I visited one of our community mental health teams and heard that some of their computers were slow.

Unrelated to my visit, my team replaced their computers the next day as part of of our Windows-10 upgrade.

They were so impressed by the timely response! 👌😂

[Les Manley @Les_Manley]

@ervillepistorum That’s really nice to hear. Thank you!

We’ll have to share a few beers sometime 😉

[Les Manley @Les_Manley]

I went up to Leeds this week to hear the latest from some Local Health and Care Record Exemplars (LHCREs).

Most interesting for me was the presentation from Greater Manchester on their analytics platform.

One to keep an eye on I think.

[Les Manley @Les_Manley]

@ervillepistorum Hi Erville,

I will try to do just that!

How are you and what are you up to these days? It’s been a while, I feel sure you must by now have earned the chance to kick back and do something you enjoy!
