This weeks post: Labour’s Brexit stance is as untenable as their tax pledge https://t.co/7FPrHeZRYZ
The size of the boost to living standards from either joining the EU's customs union or single market is likely to be much bigger than anything else this government could do.
The last few weeks I’ve been helping @goldstone_tony test his modelling tool for annual allowance & the £100k tax trap. What stands out are the crazy marginal tax rates for some - it’s pays not to work. A productive NHS needs people needs a sensible tax system. We don’t have one
Poor attention to the end-to-end process of patient care in @NHSEngland leads to worse outcomes, long waits, much higher costs, and perpetually stressed staff

@Acyn Beliefs like this are a feature, not a bug, of all religions, in order to set up in group/out group cultures and behaviours.

If we're unlucky, they use it to persecute.
The waiting list change was +11,998 in August, worse than the latest trajectory for restoring 18 weeks which required -67,159. The waiting list size was overall 230,438 worse than the latest trajectory.
As a simple rule, the wait list must shrink every single month. #nhswaits

@HSJnews If a CEO (or anyone) wants to help flow in the ED, they should walk the patient pathway in reverse starting at discharge, ending up in the ED, asking staff 'what are the barriers preventing patients being moved closer to safe discharge'. Much to be learnt.
@mancunianmedic@NHSBeeky@markbritnell@HPIAndyCowper Definitionally vague (wtf is "implied" productivity), statistically meaningless (comparison of 2 data points a year apart), and only higher is better (what if an organisation already has high "implied" productivity?).
Great thread illustrating why good analysis of data can help focus improvement efforts for big NHS problems like A&E performance.
But access to and analysis of the data is far too uncommon in the NHS...
