A long but lovely London day. Spoke at the 1st @DHSCgovuk Health Economics Speaker Series on our team’s work (& ROI of prevention); had a tour of the wonderful @RoyalFreeNHS seeing the impact of their population health work; and finished with a @CitizensUK catch up over juice(!)
@LvCarman@PhilCarman Amazing! Yes it is lovely and the food was great. Absolutely stuffed. Now at the castle. Nice calm before the chaos of the Leeds conference tomorrow!
The North’s moment is now. Great to be at the launch of the #TheGreatNorth.
Northern Mayors all facing in the same direction, putting people and places before politics. It’s powerful. #UKREiiF
En route to Leeds for #UKREiiF and looking forward to a very busy few days talking health and regen. Come find me on various panels or drop me a line if you fancy a coffee.
Wonderful afternoon in Stockton, getting a sense of the regen plans and how health is featuring: covering a CDC, tech and innovation, workforce training, skills, and prevention and all part of the place-shaping. Thanks to @stocktoncouncil for inviting me up and showing me around.
The @HealthInnovYH Strategic Advisory Board is always a good forum and @leedsbeckett campus looked stunning today. Enjoyed talking about health and the economy and how relationships will be central in making sense of the reform agenda. Thanks for the invite @richarddstubbs
Started the day watching Sussex build up a lead against Somerset (randomly sat next to Michael Vaughan watching his son) and ended it in a Seaford beachfront sauna.
Taken the youngest to Southampton, Watford and Portsmouth these last two years and he hasn’t seen a Rovers goal, let alone a win. Really enjoyed today (and spot us in this clip👇!)
Important announcment today on economic inactivity👇Health has a key part to play in supporting people to stay in or return to work and in ensuring the raft of programmes are successful. Looking forward to supporting ICBs to engage in their Get Britain Working plans.
Trailblazer programmes are at the heart of the Government's plan to Get Britain Working
Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall and Minister for Employment Alison McGovern unveiled the first of 9 trailblazers to get people back to health and back to work https://t.co/UnwyIFrLV5

Got on train at Blackfriars with the early evening sun reflecting off the Thames. Got off at Brighton with a dense sea mist smothering everything like a huge, thick duvet. Freezing too!
Really enjoyed the second @NHSConfed Local Growth webinar today. I get the easy task of asking the questions. We had great presentations from Simon Evans @RWT_NHS and @Lizzie_Smith77@NHSEnglandLDN on their #NHSAnchor work. Very different places but common vision and approach.
@Lizzie_Smith77 The focus of @NHSEnglandLDN's anchor work on social finance and new forms of investment is a great example of what the region can do and in a way that helps local Trusts and other parts of the country. The Wolverhampton £ shows a local approach that needs broad buy-in but matters
