As the incoming Chair for First Community Health and Care @1stchatter I was pleased to join today’s People Committee. According to our recent staff survey we really are the best place to work in the NHS! I look forward to meeting all our team and partners in the next few months.

@RoryStewartUK bought tickets to O2 tonight for £141 but misspelt email so have not received.AXS contact centre has failed repeatedly to get back to me over last 48 hours despite hours and hours of trying. Case number #10578384. Can you help? Thanks

[Lorcan Woods @lorcanwo]

Thank you Sarah; I know this effect is common around the world but whenever we expand and improve cycle facilities more people cycle. Will work on staff changing facilities and just started e-bike designated parking to avoid impeding patients.

[Sarah Simpkin @sarah_simpkin]

Still appreciating this expanded cycle parking at @KingsCollegeNHS - makes such a difference racing to an appointment knowing you’re more likely to get a space now.

@HannahWitty3 @OneNHSFinance @HardevVirdee @TimJaggard @Massaro1V @CarolineOBen Rarely do people get a chance to take a finance function numbering ten of thousands of people across the NHS in a new and positive direction. Would be keen to support this Fellowship however I can.

@hubbaek @RCHMelbourne What an amazing life experience and I am sure that you will grasp every moment. If you get to meet RCH Melbourne CEO @ShelleyDolan2 give her a big hug and say hello as we worked together at King’s.

Incredible King’s team that first eliminated desflurane, then turned off the first NO2 piped system in NHS, followed by entonox last month. We are choosing to reduce climate change gases because it’s right for patients, staff and the environment.
