Still doing work in digital care tech for NHS and councils. Also training to be a Death Doula. This used to be my NHS account.

Today I realised that all the digital/IT teams that have supported their orgs to get their staff working from home have not only kept their staff safe but helped to flatten the curve and that is incredible #BigUpDigitalTeams

The wonderful @NHS_Jane invited me onto her podcast to talk all things death and death doula. Jane described the experience as deeply uplifting and energising so hope you do too. Link here or below https://t.co/EW1wAU48dX

@MrTomFrench YEEEESSSSS! I am working with a number of councils and NHS orgs who do service design/ co-pro and some to ‘gold standard’ but I am not seeing it create real change….

[Sarah Boyd @SarahBoydH]

HELP! Who do I know who is doing good stuff around End of Life Care/ Policy in the NHS?

I need in.

My Death Doula course was indescribably amazing and I need to connect into other people doing amazing stuff in this space.

💡 This week I saw a post about valuing hierarchy over efficiency and I realised this is the NHS! We’re SO busy prioritising processes and communications etc that maintain the hierarchy that we can’t be efficient. IT MADE EVERYTHING MAKE SENSE.

Are any ICS’ starting to look at/ think about the Digital Switchover and linked in with their local authorities to work on it?

[Sarah Boyd @SarahBoydWork]

@rach_waters Same but bedtime.

[Sarah Boyd @SarahBoydWork]

@rs_fullerton Having worked in healthcare and now local gov on virtual care there is no one size fits all currently. My utopia would be a joint social care and health central hub that pulls together a view of all the digital devices being used.

[Sarah Boyd @SarahBoydWork]

Jesus. This is grim. There is even more in the thread. At least he’s outed himself.

UK health spending over past decade lags Europe by £40bn a year https://t.co/AjbfkndUQL

@jayvaysay @WestMids5G Ah interestingly my though process was based on some work I’m doing with @wmadass and @RethinkPartners about the digital switch over and how it has so many links into wider vulnerability and inclusion work. Might be worth linking in with ADASS??

[Sarah Boyd @SarahBoydWork]

Anyone out there in ICS or Council land doing good joined up stuff around inclusion, telecare, digital switch over etc. Seems to be good stuff in each area but nothing looking holistically across them all.

@AJ_Arrowsmith @SimonHeath1 @HRTinker @BurnhamLandD @SophieTothill I pretty much only came for hugs and glad I got one with you :)

[James Sanderson @JamesCSanderson]

Lots of chat on here today about the ‘lack of evidence’ for #SocialPrescribing, following the publication of yet another study, so I thought I would make a few, hopefully obvious, points…

[Sarah Boyd @SarahBoydWork]

@morwennahart @Ethicalhealthuk @laura_blacker88 @thmswebb @Chloedoescomms @JAMSmiffy @Anniecoops We need to design an actual facilitators tool bag to make this stuff easier!

[Sarah Boyd @SarahBoydWork]

Yay for @SamIngram3 being on the panel. You’ll rock it Sam!

[Millie Savage @milliesavage6g1]

Join this esteemed panel on Day 1 of HETT as we explore and showcase how XR technologies are already making a difference in healthcare. Excited to see them discuss the potential for much more impact on our patients and staff, health and training. #HETT22

This news won’t make Back to School headlines today, but it ought to be everywhere: Under this gov, a child born on 5th September 2006 can, if taken into care tonight, be placed in a hostel, caravan/barge with no guaranteed adult supervision. And their 15-year classmate, who is

[Sarah Boyd @SarahBoydWork]

He said he would and he did. Well done @thmswebb and @Ethicalhealthuk team for showing other consultancies that you can be in this game without being greed driven shysters who don’t give two hoots about the NHS 💪🏻

[Sarah Boyd @SarahBoydWork]

I can’t lie. I couldn’t get to the end. It’s so heart breaking and rage inducing and it ends with a young girl dying needlessly. The lack of accountability and sincere apologies just piles on the mistakes already made.

A must read for consultants who’s egos rule their world.
