“The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvellous victory.”
-Howard Zinn
Already excited by words from @jbjamib2 on Community + Public #Engagement: how can we collectively work to improve healthcare quality in the broader context, including communities #QF24
Thank you for this excellent thought piece, Jessica. And for the compelling call to more community-centred design and the relocation of authority from the centre of the system to the everydayness of the local context: “Drawing on decades of place-based pilots, the time is right for a systematic move towards pooled place budgets with local democratic oversight (LGA and Shared Intelligence, 2023).”

It's a wrap. Grateful + honored to be in London for #Quality2024 the past week. Amazing learnings, opportunties to participate, present, new connections made ❤️ and lots to digest. Loved seeing the effort to ensure #coproduction was visible from the get-go. Thank you all round!
Another excellent article about the book by @AmyCEdmondson "Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well". In an interview with @HarvardBiz, Amy says experimentation and risk-taking are crucial for organisational success but they should be enabled within a coherent framework. She sets out the criteria for "smart experimentation": https://t.co/2sxzmhhJAa #Quality2024
#Kindness. A small effort with big impact ❤️ Today with @Kindness_Health, we heard from @BritishRedCross about #kindness + health activation. Kindness + trust are at the foundation of all interactions between those providing care + receiving care - this impacts health activation.
“A person is a person through other persons. The solitary human being is a contradiction in terms. I need you in order to be me as you need me in order to be you.” ~Desmond Tutu
Conversations about #kindness, it's importance in #healthcare & how to reconnect healthcare with its mission + purpose by bringing humanity to the point of care. Some resources I find useful about this topic #Quality2024
