@NHSX Hi what's the news on upcoming regulation for healthcare apps, & changes to the definition of what constitutes a medical device? How can startups compete if cost of regulation is prohibitive? Not to mention how slooooow reg'n can be! #DisruptRegulation#dontkillinnovation
Very welcome discussion about #workplace#stress on @BBCRadio4 You and Yours. What does your employer do to make changes in response to staff stress levels? Employers, how do you know your efforts are working?
@NHSX To be truly world class, the NHS should provide the AWS/GCE of healthcare. Modular services that anyone and everyone can use. Deliver the infrastructure that will empower others to build solutions.
@NHSX This is a #security issue as well. Multiple passwords increases risk of re-use. Password managers can indeed help, but the inconvenience in the current set up is the primary problem. Hardware 2FA + SSO would be fun to implement in the NHS!
Great discussion at #Interop19 in Cardiff today.
It is unacceptable that some care records are not interoperable. They need to be coded in open standards. But this requires a culture shift and better usability of systems.
We need to talk about #opensource at #accelerators#incubators and #startups particularly in #academia and the #NHS. Why are T&Cs and IP arrangements designed to exclude open source and focus on "protectable IP" and closed source? @code4health @NHSX @NHSOpenSource
@WoodcoteEwan @jessrmorley @NHSX @IndraJoshi10 @code4health @NHSDigital @code4health @NHSDigital @NHSDigitalOpen @NHSOpenSource Can you DM me? Ongoing conversation about supporting folks like us who are *trying* to get open-source into NHS settings but are stymied by purchasers/gatekeepers who don't like or understand it! Thanks! 🥰
@WoodcoteEwan @jessrmorley @NHSX @IndraJoshi10 We've encountered "institutionalised" antagonism toward open source. Even where corp T&Cs explicitly approve open source, individuals with purchasing authority refuse to sign off. Can @NHSX or anyone else support us here? We're trying to help but getting hamstrung!
