Test, Learn, Grow, Changing Futures, Integrated Care Boards, Early Help, Troubled Families, Primary Care Networks. Isn’t all the same thing? Fragmented ministries create their own pilots that don’t start with communities. Pilot soup in a strategic vacuum. #RadicalPlaceLeadership
@ProfDonnaHall & I have written an article on the cashable savings that could be made from a new #RadicalPlaceLeadership approach. Thx to @MarkAdamSmith and Hannah Hesselgreaves for their help!

This is a superb 5 minute Open University video on The Myth of Race. I 100% recommend it

In our latest England 🏴 article, @ProfDonnaHall explains how a comprehensive, inter-departmental approach is needed to move beyond outdated systems, fostering a culture of questioning and collaboration in public services.

Thanks for the opportunity to participate in such an insightful conversation @TheHCAlliance. Listening to our communities, focusing on long term targets and the use of language will be key. @ProfDonnaHall @GeorgeFielding1 @MerronSimpson @DartmouthDawn @Gus_ODonnell @DurkaDougall
@GeorgeFielding1 one of our @TheHCAlliance ambassadors & panel exploring what is needed : fundamentally change the system - focus on communities. Address their real issues. Focus on #healthcreation. Sounds easy but will take active effort to make happen. #realchange

GDP is not the success measure. More being announced today.
More focus including resources should go to communities rather than more of the same.
Need to focus on #healthcreation
Includes #wellbeing - understand & build solutions with + for people to address the real issues
Merron Simpson retweeted
@ProfDonnaHall: need to focus on #leadership & #place. Relinquishing power to place in a really meaningful way. Social contract with place. Permission to innovate. Learn from examples like @WiganCouncil @gateshead @GM_ICP @AndyBurnhamGM

Great panel @TheHCAlliance exploring now #communitychest example: dartmouthcommunitychest.co.u…
Run by volunteers, in a place people & policies don’t always reach. So just created our own support for local people. Heard what people struggle with & cocreated solutions. 24/7 job

@UKHouseofLords @GusODonnell: incentives are wrong at every level of health system at present incl media. Volunteering is key but more available in affluent areas. Measurement can help drive equity. Identify what is needed for devolution & better allocation of funds to aid change
