@ShaunLintern Wholesale culture change - flatten hierarchies, improve lines of communication, increase accountability, change incentive structures. Too many people invested in pretending that everything is "fine"

[Adam Kay @amateuradam]

This is disastrous, hideous news. NHS England are hacking back the mental health support for hospital staff. One doctor takes their life every three weeks. One nurse takes their life every single week. These numbers will now INCREASE. @VictoriaAtkins - please do the right thing.

Because the one thing we really, really don't need this winter is being treated as a political football by politicians who care more about currying for votes than the destructive, demoralising impact of their words on burned out, broken staff.

Thanks a bunch, Wes.

This is right I think. Culture needs to be right/ready

This was the technique I used that lost me my career. I was taught it in a human factors training in 2012 by Terema. I would now warn any staff learning these techniques that they may not be safe to use unless the whole team have been trained in their use. #livedexperience

If you’re one of the pubs or bars that has turned away Tories in Manchester, let me know because you’re precisely the kind of place I want to visit and go for a drink.

Health secretary @SteveBarclay out in force today attacking doctors for striking. Only one question counts: Why is he refusing to get round the table to talk? The BMA wants to negotiate. Why doesn’t he?

[Jan Hansel @VirtueOfNothing]

I hope wider learning happens as a result of this on NHS culture and the constant gaslighting of individuals raising concerns or whistleblowers, doctors or otherwise.

Opinion: Most NHS trusts are guilty of this in various gradations of severity.

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Ask yourself why the govt would spend more on the strike than it would cost to settle the dispute…

This isn’t about affordability or inflation or even ideology

It’s about the wilful destruction of public services…

all so they can make money.

That’s it. Nothing more.

Thank you everyone for sending this video to almost 3 times the views of Rishi Sunak’s original! TOGETHER we can beat his bull****

@jplomas @LawrenceDunhill Or, "it is fallacious to equate the experienced practitioner to the newly qualified one who replaces them"? Or "staff who have had all of the morale and goodwill juiced out of them maybe don't perform that well"?

1/ Short 🧵 on lies, damned lies, & statistics

I've seen some rather misleading use of statistics on the BBC / Sky today, its not clear whether they dont understand the differences, or they are trying to mislead

Please read all & share / RT

Industrial action is a response to deteriorating pay and conditions, and chronic underfunding of services.

[Joseph Cosgrove @JosephCosgrove7]

Just in case you thought that it was industrial action by nurses & doctors that created waiting lists for hospital treatments, here's something from @FinancialTimes

[Professor Claire Hopkins @SnotSurgeon]

I worked through my cancer treatment as I wanted to minimise the impact of my treatment on that of my patients. I am committed to them, my job and the nhs.
I will be striking with my consultant colleagues for all the same reasons.
