@laulok @pcpa_org 2 weeks into my new role as a practice pharmacist in the late 90’s I nearly gave up as I didn’t know what I was doing! 30 years on and a varied career & now ICB lead for Community Pharmacy Optometry and Dentistry I’m glad @AmandaCPharmacy talked me into staying just a bit longer

@Jon_LondonNHS As soon as we needed multiple phone chargers etc we went to doing the same

[Simon Cooper @SimonC00per]

@laulok So I wasn’t getting on with it so have moved onto Patrick Lencioni’s The 6 Types of Working Genius. That’s much more relevant to me and is challenging my thoughts on leading me team. Patrick Lencioni is one of my go to’s so always recommend. I will be having a team day on this!

[Simon Cooper @SimonC00per]

@laulok It’s stated well, but I have a small library around culture, influence team building etc

[Simon Cooper @SimonC00per]

@MartinSWessex The last time I was at Edgebaston it was rained out looks like you will have a better day enjoy👍🏻

@laulok I gave Malcolm Gladwell’s Tipping Point to one of my team. I have asked her to out my email in it and when she passes it on add her email in. The idea is we will create a community of people perhaps unknown to each other, who can discuss the ideas in the book and how we use them

[Simon Cooper @SimonC00per]

@laulok That’s one happy pharmacist 😂

@clarehm123 So many exceptional sportspeople only seem to be average human beings. This is one of the rare case where an exceptional sportsperson was an even more exceptional human being. The world is a better place for having had him in it.

@Jon_LondonNHS It’s not just ok to not be ok I would suggest it’s normal to have periods when we are not ok. It is the sign of a good leader that says I’m not ok and shares that openly and honestly with their team. The impact it has on your team is fantastic. https://t.co/o6aL9vCgOA

@laulok But his birthmark on his tongue somehow makes everything all right

@laulok And Sundays are for sitting in the car with your recently rescued golden retriever getting him used to cars.

[Simon Cooper @SimonC00per]

@laulok We don’t think Woody had been socialised at all. As he is anxious in a car, will lunge at traffic if on a road walk and when we first got him he would snarl and bark at sparrows as if they were serial killers! 😳It’s going to be a long journey but small steps and we’ll get there

“From January, Six Nations teams will have to avoid kit clashes which could negatively impact colour blind viewers.”for most people this might seem insignificant @laulok

@SouthernWater And just to update this a contractor arrived on Saturday and sorted the issue in under 4 hours. So thank you for addressing this. It does ask the question if it takes 4 hours to repair why were 4 houses without significant water pressure for a whole week? Despite regular chasing?

[Simon Cooper @SimonC00per]

@SouthernWater we have now been with reduced water pressure for over a week and despite 3 calls no progress on repairs. The pressure is so low that our combi boiler fails to trigger for hot water, taps and shower upstairs do not deliver water. This your expected level of service?

[Simon Cooper @SimonC00per]

@SouthernWater Thanks you have a DM from me

@clarehm123 @NHSPharmer @neilhardy999 @STEVECHEMIST @DrGomesPinto @SeemaGadhia @TLyons00 Yes I know 🫣 I await the avalanche of abuse at my incompetent geography 😂

[Simon Cooper @SimonC00per]

@NHSPharmer @clarehm123 @neilhardy999 @STEVECHEMIST @DrGomesPinto @SeemaGadhia @TLyons00 Except that was actually the North East ! I need some time off!!

[Simon Cooper @SimonC00per]

@NHSPharmer @clarehm123 @neilhardy999 @STEVECHEMIST @DrGomesPinto @SeemaGadhia @TLyons00 Why not? I spent a year commuting to the NW. The flights weren’t much more expensive than some train journeys I would do and takes just about as long.
