[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

Storytelling is an essential leadership skill. Stories help us make connections, build meaningful relationships with others & retain information. We're 7x more likely to remember a fact when it's wrapped in a story. As leaders we should build skills in telling five kinds of stories:
1) Vision stories which inspire a shared one.
2) Values stories that model the way.
3) Action stories that spark change & progress.
4) Teaching stories that transmit knowledge & skills to others
5) Trust stories that help people understand, connect with & believe in us.

@HelenBevan tell your kids stories about themselves; tell your team stories about the team.
They'll one day make it true.

@JoeEHanley Same could be said for GPs 💪

[Brigid Russell @brigidrussell51]

The paradox of living with grief is that I learn so much about life, love, what really matters. The space for all of that to be, simply, deeply. It's a bloody tough way to learn; that how we approach death helps us understand life. Yet it's unavoidable, essential. Elemental.

Video here for parents concerned about Scarlet Fever/Strep A infections. Worth a watch. https://t.co/fj4YOLhEto @cheryllowes @_OneLiverpool

[Brown Skin Matters @BrwnSkinMatters]

Scarlet fever is getting a lot of media attention at the moment, because of an increased number of cases and sporadic antibiotic shortages. I know parents are worrying. So, here's another set of photos of what it looks like on darker skin.

Watching the debate in Parliament on the #carereview on parliament TV….this is the turnout, I’m not sure I need to say more….it’s heartbreaking

[Cheryl Lowes @cheryllowes]

What a great event, made so by the network of amazing individuals across multiple sectors involved in social prescribing, link work, and community development, who, in the words of @BreneBrown, 'dared greatly' &in doing so started the next chapter in @LiveWellLpool...bring it on!

[General Practice @BMA_GP]

GPs face unprecedented pressure as they deliver more appointments than ever with fewer staff. Thanks @Steph_Peacock for highlighting the pressure GPs are under and the impact this is having on patients, the GP workforce, and the wellbeing and health of our staff

[amy harvey @amy___harvey]

So proud of the work you guys are doing @SPDL18723966 such a fantastic resource and helping so many people. Our city is lucky to have such fantastic social prescribers and link workers 🙌

[Brigid Russell @brigidrussell51]

When we listen & we're able to air our frustrations & pain. When we listen with curiosity rather than judgement, hear our differences. When we gather together in generative dialogue, connect our ideas. Not only do we find what's possible together, we really meet each other too.

[Paddington @paddingtonbear]

It doesn't cost me anything to be kind.
