And congratulations to winners @nhsfyp!

[Simon Day @NHSSimon]

We didn’t win but I’m still so proud of our team at @EasternAHSN, shortlisted in @NHSCommunicate Awards last night amongst some really amazing projects.

It was inspiring to celebrate NHS comms achievements given a tough 18 months and I’m proud of our industry.

An award-winning comms team! 🏆

Sorry to have missed #CxHealth but logging on from my holiday to say how proud I am of the team and everyone at @EasternAHSN and beyond who have been part of our story so far. Plenty more to come!

We have partnered with @NHSEastEngland to understand patients’ views on waiting for healthcare services in the region and how the NHS addresses the backlog resulting from COVID-19.

Have your say by responding to our survey before 23 July: https://t.co/HqoDW5BuKm

@PeteBarlow9 @NHS It always amazes me that my op date is something I remember each year, whereas for the teams who were so amazing… it was just a Friday

[Simon Day @NHSSimon]

If it wasn't for the NHS I’d be dead. It's that simple. There's not much new to say for the #NHSBirthday but I want to reiterate that I’m forever thankful for the incredible people saving and improving lives every day, especially given how hard it’s been over the last 16+ months.

[Simon Day @NHSSimon]

So happy 73rd birthday #NHS - here's to many, many more.

[Health Innovation East @HealthInnovEast]

I love that innovation can help address health inequalities, especially in such a huge and so often underrepresented community. Fascinated to see what comes of it!

[Health Innovation East @HealthInnovEast]

As part of the @AHSNNetwork we’re proud to partner with @LGBTfdn on a new nationwide call for innovations that can help tackle the health inequalities faced by #LGBT people. Call closes 19 April 2021 #AHSNDiversity

@ChrisBirbeck1 @LizHospice Well... my best attempt at it! 😁

[Simon Day @NHSSimon]

I read this and it caused me to smile.

[Simon Day @NHSSimon]

Right I have joined clubhouse. Any healthcare or #NHScomms folks got any recommendations for groups or people to follow on there? (Cc @NHScommsorg?)

[Simon Day @NHSSimon]

@CapX @Maxi_Macki had some really interesting points on this https://t.co/LXuVmua7KG

Earlier diagnosis is critical to increasing cancer survival rates by ensuring patients can receive treatment when there is a better chance of achieving a cure. That is why it is one of our four key priorities: https://t.co/7T90uwMXYk

@ChrisBirbeck1 @ShaunLintern I appreciate they are trying to stress the seriousness of the situation to increase compliance with the rules but it really isn’t helpful reporting it with that headline when people are already terrified

[Simon Day @NHSSimon]

Example of responsible reporting of statistics vs clickbait headlines here. Disappointing from the BBC in this case but excellent from @ShaunLintern #covid19

@EtheHerring Here is the first tiktok, for everyone wondering

[Simon Day @NHSSimon]

Fascinating story of how patient insight breeds innovation and amazing (but often simple) ideas.

It also shows how 3D printing and CAD has the potential to empower so many people to develop their own tools!

The vaccination programme is going to need staff, including volunteers in both clinical and non-clinical roles. If you know someone who might be interested in a job or give some time, please share this with them!

[Health Innovation East @HealthInnovEast]

Could you support the #COVID19 vaccination programme?

We’re working with @NHSEastEngland and @NHSHEE_EoE to fill paid and volunteer roles supporting the programme across the East of England in both clinical and non-clinical roles. Find out more: https://t.co/qacMdBShXK

Working from home is a bit boring at times but I still enjoy the odd furry visitor. Hoping to domesticate him and have as a minion. Will keep you all updated. #squirrel
