@DrBalsamAhmad We need to review how we provide age appropriate health care for young people who are not children or adults. Important to design services with young people.

Brave 16 year olds story of experience diagnosis of serious illness & hospital admission to adult services.
Adolescents not Children or Adults, How can we provide “Age appropriate Care?”@PUhmbt @aaroncumminsNHS @bridgetlees1 @nicask @Loulawomack @EmmaPowellNHS @hugh_reeve

Recommending early support for families. Recognition that wider family can support children. “It takes a village to raise a child “

Fantastic national #NHS webinar this evening on CYP MH and Primary Care Integration. Brilliant examples of innovative practice for YP, also #socialprescribing as the medical model is not always the best route. Thank you @NHSEngland will definitely explore further…..

[Emma Powell @EmmaPowellNHS]

Delighted to see this as a common thread running through this morning’s @EveryChildNENC #CYPInequalities event; want to know how best to engage YP in your service? Develop your offer with them 🤗

Went to a great leadership session tonight with Stanley McChrystal, who wrote “Team of Teams”. He said leaders should “delegate until it hurts”: delegate until it feels uncomfortable, then delegate some more, then support/take responsibility for those taking the delegated actions

@thehivebhcp Great session helping me break down the Transition Programme in to bite size projects . Anyone want to join me with a project that will improve the quality of health services for young people in UHMBT.

There’s a tendency to think that staff can transform the NHS while still doing their day job.

This isn’t correct we need to create the opportunity & the space to look up & work with the public.

[Val Baxter @ValBaxter63]

Interested in meeting with primary care thoughts on Transition, preparing for adult health services.

[Val Baxter @ValBaxter63]

Great drive to Barrow to talk Transition on FGH children’s ward and Outpatient with @KerryELittle and Brian Evans , Becka Dobson and Emily Brice Hospital passports,@ReadySteadyGo3 @EmmaPowellNURSE @PUhmbt @nicask @aaroncumminsNHS
