Healthcare executive and non-executive leader championing quality and patient safety. Views and mistakes are entirely my own, wisdom is often borrowed.

@daniellloyd1 I will miss this commentary team. Some of the most insightful sports coverage of any kind. It just won’t be the same.

@comedylopez @LakelandLeather May you find many empty seats on your trains and none in your theatres.

Now that's an interview I never expected to see.

[David Spiegelhalter @d_spiegel]

Had a wonderful interview with Chris Evans on Virgin Radio about my new book - he had done proper preparation, and asked great questions. And I could tell him that I had been a fan since Tiswas. https://t.co/pbOuiCXTlc

@Peston Lovely to see that Liz has followed Matt Hancock into a new career in comedy. Good for her.

Just spent a shift in A&E dealing with the consequences of poor diet and obesity

Hungry so went off to get some food

As a society we need to stop health problems not just treat them....

In Milton Keynes, type 2 diabetes patients are being paid to be active and walk daily using an app. They can earn up £365 a year. Is this the future for the NHS App? Great to chat to @JoeHMK & @KateBurkeNHS for The Sunday Times.

@mancunianmedic @fentonaw True. But I’ve been a participant in three national patient safety inquiries, each of which featured 000s of patients (mainly women) routinely having their symptoms dismissed because it’s only many years later that a particular problem is understood, studied and reported.

The Disabilities Trust is now Brainkind! This is a much needed rebrand that is far better aligned to this dynamic and thriving charity than what we had before.

@SportsOrla Absolutely gutted. Winning on the Champs Elysees felt like his destiny. This didn't.

[Matt James @MattJamesHealth]

[Matt James @MattJamesHealth]

@O2 this offer is great but how do I get my code? Thanks

[Matt James @MattJamesHealth]

@saralivadeas Trying to fix the NHS without fixing social care first is like trying to fix a leaking tap by buying a bigger sponge.
