@ArronThind @Parody_RCGP Listen, don’t talk for first two minutes, patients agenda not yours, be curious about the person in front of you not the pathology and have fun.

Working in partnerships is difficulty and messy, even when your partners are easy to identify. Population and patients/ service users also tricky and often used interchangeably. Listening and empowerment surely key to how we do whatever we decide

[Dawn Lythgoe @LythgoeDawn]

Great to be involved in the consultation of our future GM #vaccination / #immunisation programme. Lots of vision and challenge 👍 and I got to use #Menti for the 1st time of which I am now a huge geeky fan 🤓@boltongpfed @GM_Feds @NHS_GM

@DrWallBolton No shared understanding of the problem amongst all of us in the system. The strain causes good people to apparently behave badly.

@boltonathome Congratulations
