@HalifaxBank there has been fraudulent use of my credit card-I have just tried calling you and the wait is apparently an HOUR. Really? There seem to be no other options.

My latest contribution to the debate on the use metrics in healthcare in @thetimes today. Better use of outcome measures could drive innovation and help us make better us of resources #valuebasedhealthcare

Abieyuwa from @SLondonCitizens shared a beautiful reflection at the inaugural @SELondonICS meeting today “Our experience is that we can only make change when we work together. It’s the power of relationships, that builds trust between us all.”

Watching from the peripheries as a paper gets rejected with debate as to where to go next. It is good and could change patient care. Wondering whether we are getting priorities right between patient benefit, pressure to publish in high impact journals and publishing profits

@RachelBurnham @GSTTnhs Not sure that it solves anything. We need to move away from dependency on email-I think over reliance on it reduces overall productivity (reference to follow..)

@fairnessfdn @MichaelMarmot @JoBibbyTHF @cthomasippr @ButtJabeer .@MichaelMarmot: The opening line of "The Health Gap" is "Why treat people and send them back to the conditions that made them sick?"

We hear NHS is over-stretched, but inequalities in health are mostly not due to access to quality care – social determinants of health are key

Why are we all pretending that no one’s been standing at Premier League matches for the last 27 years?
