We rapidly commissioned new thinking on #inclusion following the evaluation of the Culture Leadership Programme which came out during lockdown. So many interesting reflections at seminar today @JackieKilbane @deborahbham @thinkbluejay @NaomiChambers11 @culture_nhs

Heard your interview on BBC, wanted to be a positive tweet amidst any bile -thanks for your words for all women and any who have unfairly felt unsafe 😊

I’m thanking @AddisonLeeCabs for getting me home but not every woman has that choice and we must be safe to walk home alone, without needing our keys in our hand, with our headphones on if we choose, wearing what we like. My thoughts tonight with #SarahEverard

Help please - what’s the preferred acronym for LGBTQ people and communities? Or point me in the right direction of an authority on this?

Just learnt Greater Manchester will be placed into tier 2 restrictions via twitter. Apparently there was a government briefing for GM MPs but I can’t provide details because I wasn’t invited. I suspect this is because they don’t know where Wigan is. What an absolute shambles

It's a year since I received the NHS Leadership Academy Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Award. I met some fantastic people, made great friends and became better leader. I can't recommend the programme enough. #EGA @NHSLeadership @Helbax @therealnb_1 @heather6797 @nicholasbjones
