@bt_uk I appreciate that you have even taken the time to respond and consider - if you ever want to visit an area to understand what a life changing experience this would deliver just let me know ❤️

[mary macleod @msengamac]

@virginmedia @bt_uk and any other media provider - have you ever been a patient or a visitor in a hospital that has no patient entertainment? It is soul destroying - is there no way you could collaborate and come up with a smart media solution that was made

Free to any trust that paid behemoth amounts for your voice and or data services.

Sit and look at a beige wall with no tech for a couple of days…

Come on surely you can find it in you to at least do a discovery 🤷‍♀️

[mary macleod @msengamac]

If you’ve not had chance to see @NathanEvanss live yet you’re missing out - was brilliant Sunday eve 🤩

[mary macleod @msengamac]

@charliersmith1 I think you look blooming fabulous! And well, really, really well. So keep sticking it to ‘em!

[mary macleod @msengamac]

@ianroddis As always Ian leading from the front, providing the outstanding teams with positive and practical support - oh and pizza 🍕

[mary macleod @msengamac]

When you end up using your sat nav to navigate round the new work location 😂🤣😂 tell me you’re a newby without saying you’re a newby 🤣😂🤣

[mary macleod @msengamac]

@iainoneil No problem will drop you a message for next week some time if that’s ok

[mary macleod @msengamac]

@iainoneil Sort of, have provided devices to Trust library to be loaned to staff,primarily to support staff who may have families overseas & would have no means of staying in contact if they could not afford tech.
Salary sacrifice deals in most Trusts now.
Devices for apprentices too

@ianroddis Erm 🤔😂🤣 it’s ok you’ve 2 weeks to baton down the hatches 😂🤣😂

[mary macleod @msengamac]

Ok so leaving has its perks, I’ve had roses and cards and been out for dinner this evening. On Friday after work some drinks and leaving lunch on Monday @ianroddis I might not be there long if leaving is this good 🤣🤣🤣 just kidding!

[mary macleod @msengamac]

@RaniRiner Thank you Riner ❤️

[mary macleod @msengamac]

So it’s all getting a little real now as my final week at NHFT is looming 😱 I’m really looking forward to a couple of weeks leave & then I will be heading to my new role as Director of Technology at Bucks beginning November 🤗

[mary macleod @msengamac]

@andy_callow Thanks Andy 🤗

[mary macleod @msengamac]

@ianroddis I hope the outcome is worth the effort 🤞 anyone ever do a retrospective on this kind of business case to see what value there is in the volume of pages, how much is unique and unrepeated data, and if/how it could be streamlined for future cases to reduce the overhead 🤷‍♀️

[mary macleod @msengamac]

@jwsingh @PennineCareNHS Great notes Jas, remember to give yourself time, set the same expectations of yourself in your 30-60-90 as you would have those starting in a position within your team. Week one is usually a blur of names and faces 🤗 enjoy!

[mary macleod @msengamac]

And they most definitely have a voice. It’s their role not their flipping pay range that important. One of the things in the NHS that has driven me bonkers since I joined.
Did “more than just my band” get dropped 🤷‍♀️

[mary macleod @msengamac]

Got a little grumpy in a meeting today where someone suggested a colleague in said meeting did not have a voice because they were “just a band *” huge trigger for me! If someone is in that meeting they are there because of their knowledge in said subject

[mary macleod @msengamac]

@iainoneil 🤣😂
