@AmyHassan12 @DorsetHealth @DorsetAhps @Emma07836565 @DorsetCCG @NHSEngland Great to see urgent community response initiatives like this ❤️ . Next stage is to make the cars net zero too @GreenerNHS

@westmerciapcc This looks so wrong. https://t.co/ahDyGmbNAx

@Keir_Starmer Beware unintended consequences of taxing private schools. You'll put them out of business and then have to fund more state school places at taxpayers expense. It won't raise your £1.7bn. 🙄

Delighted to welcome the NHS non emergency patient transport report today to improve non emergency patient transport services for patients

[Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) @NHSGIRFT]

Last year's @NHSGIRFT national report on ENT surgery found both patients and hospital trusts will benefit if more ENT in England is carried out as a day case. Read the report in full at https://t.co/8tRjLynCZG

@helenbevan @WeAreCoCreative @karas01 @KathrynPerera @ZoeLord1 @LynneWinstanley @HughMcCaughey ....And even the best strategy will fail if the culture isn't right. Culture eats strategy for breakfast!

An early Christmas present , again somthing I thought I would never see in my lifetime. My first Paramedic independent prescriber pad.

[Anna Parry @AnnaParry12]

Ambulance trusts! Is this one for you...? An opportunity to share best practice in 4 AHP quick guides. As well as learning and autism, the guides will cover caring for those that care, cardiovascular and respiratory disease and supporting recovery in mental health @AACE_org

Pensions changes still having unintended consequences: https://t.co/znbJCgKZn2

What a great combination of initiatives for better patient care out of hospital.

[james cook @jamescookQI]

Great that AHPs are playing an important role in progressing digital services for patients @JennyW_NHS has some great ideas on digital community services too

[Steve Tolan @tolanAHP]

Some points which came out for me from yesterday's #digitalAHPs AHP digital Forum event yesterday - thinking about AHP digital readiness

Any other thoughts from attendees having slept on it?

[james cook @jamescookQI]

Totally agree - caring for mentally ill patients is incredibly rewarding!

[Ursula James MH 💙 @UrsulaMHSW]

Don’t forget IAPT. Many services recruiting now for IAPT trainees both PWPs and HIs.

[james cook @jamescookQI]

Still university places available through clearing for A level students interested in a career in nursing #Nursing

[james cook @jamescookQI]

@NIHRevidence Some trusts have had successful initiatives such as putting physios on wards to help with patient mobility too!

[james cook @jamescookQI]

Great to be part of a whole day of exchanging ideas on how to improve ambulance services with @ihbaines and @helenbevan . #AmbFaculty and #improve4patients

[Lynsey Oates @OatesLynsey]

Improvement faculty ADE finale, snowstorm of actions #ProjectA #AmbFaculty ⁦@ihbaines⁩ ⁦@karas01⁩ ⁦@helenbevan⁩ ⁦@horizonsnhs⁩

@helenbevan Team diversity is important. Part of improvement leadership has to be about building diverse teams and empowering them to be curious and ask questions. I'm often amazed when leaders appoint clones or "yes men or women"

[james cook @jamescookQI]

Just a plea to employers - Helping staff stay hydrated during these periods of intense heat is really important. Simple things like providing bottles and glasses make a big difference

[Gloucestershire Hospitals IPC Team @GlosIPC]

Busting the myth that Infection control don’t allow staff to drink whilst on duty! We have delivered more than 100 ice cold bottles of water to staff @gloshospitals this afternoon #hydrate ❄️💦

[james cook @jamescookQI]

#Improve4Patients - House of Common's debate on lower limb woundcare highlights how important it is to do what we can to speed up healing time. https://t.co/iifqD8yjnG
