Delighted to be back to work @matter_of_focus and to my weekly walking catch ups with @sasmort. I've been off work for 6 weeks with a tedious mash up of health issues - on the mend now. Massive thanks to all the team for stepping in so ably and allowing me time to recover.

[Alexia Pellowe @alexiapellowe]

We at @eahscp TECpathfinders were one of 4 pathfinders and impact reports highlight key details for success including #userengagement throughout #SAtSD pandemic-sector working and key leaders involvement with the team 🤩

[Ailsa Cook @AilsaCook]

If you are leading or evaluating #digital transformation in health and care, this might be worth a watch.
