FARE strongly supports a Yes vote in the upcoming referendum on the Voice to Parliament on 14 October.

Listening to communities who are affected by alcohol harm has always been a key part of the way that we approach our work.

Too often, different approaches to change & improvement live within their own silos. In day to day healthcare quality improvement (QI) practice, the focus is typically on QI models & tools. Learning from the field of behaviour change is often overlooked. So @DrCEHilton sets out how psychological theory & skills can be integrated into QI practice to get better outcomes. It's a long read so grab a cup of coffee & enjoy it: https://t.co/IN2cV7D04T #QITwitter

I just don't understand how Fullstack Open is not more popular.

It's a free online web development course by the University of Helsinki and Houston. It teaches you the following technologies:
• Node.js
• MongoDB
• GraphQL
• TypeScript
• React
• Redux

It's such an incredible resource!

The characteristics of changemakers. The @designcouncil has studied change excellence in practice & identified the attributes of the most effective leaders of change across systems:
1) System thinker: has the ability to see how everything is interconnected in a bigger picture.
2) Leader and storyteller: can tell a great story about what’s possible and why this is important, engage people at all levels and see the work through.
3) Connector and convener: can build strong relationships, create spaces where people from different backgrounds come together and join the dots to create a bigger movement.
4) Designer and maker: has the technical and creative skills to make things happen.

g’day just a reminder that my freelance books are currently open, so if you or someone you know is looking for copywriting or content work done, i’m the gender non-conforming droid you’re looking for

We do our best work when we feel we're able to work with high levels of autonomy; to make decisions & experiment for improvement. That will only happen if our systems are designed for autonomy. Bureaucracy is not inevitable. We can, and should, design it out: https://t.co/5L0JNOWBRO By @PaulIanTaylor

I've just been rereading Peter Senge's 1985 paper "System principles for leadership". It's so ahead of its era & timelessly relevant. The principles summarised in five points at the start of the paper are so appropriate for many of the change challenges we face as leaders right now:

with #Fibromyalgia i need to change how i sit at my desk constantly or i cop all sorts of horrific pain flares, so normal office chairs are punishing. i desperately want one of these chairs but they are nearly $600 😬

would love suggestions for alternatives/tips pretty pls!

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Having a sense of agency (the power/ability to make choices and act on them freely) is more important than improvement skills or resources or methods when it comes to making change happen. When we can go & take action, things change. Feelings of powerlessness dissipate & old assumptions fall away. As change leaders, helping others to build their agency is one of our most important tasks: https://t.co/eZDhFTHZyd By @samxyuan Graphic: by me (designed for @sch4ch)

@piacandrews Just to say I look forward to the follow up article.

“Women often bring different skills, values & leadership styles which are particularly successful & valuable in the healthcare context. During the COVID-19 pandemic we witnessed countries with female leadership perform significantly better”

Over the last few months, I’ve been working on a little project with the ABC here in Australia to help people visualise their exposure in data breaches. This has just gone live today and I reckon they’ve done an amazing job, check it out: https://t.co/K0QXip1Je2

@AlSweigart I don’t know about explainations, but I use handbrake quite a lot. Is that what you mean?
