ex NHS CFO at Imperial and UCLH, 16 years with Oracle before that. These are my personal views. Interested in innovative solutions based around people and tech.

Was big fan of #Sainsbury smartshop, time saver and often good prices. Failed to pick up a mark down last week. Today only bought three items and two were incorrectly priced - higher prices of course. What is going on? This is worse than useless if cannot trust the pricing.

@simon_gordon_ @LBC @ShelaghFogarty LBC debate on Rishi Sunak’s wife’s tax treatment started to address the truth when speaker spoke about the need for India to keep tax generated in India by Indian people in Indian businesses. This is exactly the argument we make against Amazon etc - shouldn’t we be consistent?

@probert_david @uclh Fantastic to see the PBT up and running. A brave vision delivered. Well done.

@wesstreeting At best this comment @Wesstreeting is extremely ill-informed. Take nothing away from frontline heroes & support staff who often are underpaid and massively over-worked, NHS management is usually beyond stressful, thankless and often impossible to perform to your own standard

@HSJEditor Surely this is Tory backbench code for “please find somewhere safe for the PM and his cabinet”

@annabokobza @ImperialNHS This is a great initiative Anna. I’m now a trustee with Wycombe Homeless Connection and we’re always interested to see what we might be able to learn from others

@probert_david @uclh @Moorfields Really pleased for you David - well deserved and a lot of fun ahead

So it’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek. Don’t tweet much. Just out of my lowest weekend for long time. No reason I can think of, meds, exercise, diet, friendships all ok. Wife tried, daughter tried, bless them all. I’m in luckiest 0.1%, guilt-wracked. Much better today. It happens.

@SigsworthJanice thinking of you and all the tremendous Imperial team today Janice. Thank you for caring for us all with such compassion, dedication and professionalism. Richard

Attending the service of reconciliation tonight. Judging by the huge attendance this is far more than a token gesture by the wycombe churches all coming together. Feels good to be doing something, hope it is meaningful to those still suffering.

@theJeremyVine @BZephaniah Stopping not storing

[Richard Alexander @chudalex]

@theJeremyVine @BZephaniah Please ask Benjamin if he’d be ok if instead of looking back these institutions gave reparations to support storing modern slavery

What a brilliant interview on Andrew Marr this morning with Justin Welby...In this time of crisis let us be restrained in our language and show a real reluctance to treat those with different views as enemies...As ever the wisdom of the bible trumps party politics.

[Richard Alexander @chudalex]

@nhsFFF @JohnWilliamsCRH Really interesting blog John, thanks. Links well to the FFF/PWC day you referred to in which technology formed a big part. No shortage of things we could do better and tools to help, creating a way in which we can move together but remain innovative feels like the challenge?
