Last day of structural testing today. The things that look like 🥌 s on the roof are, yup, 45kg weights to preload it - then it’s gonna get shoved sideways…

This year, thanks to @innovateuk we have got a chance to do exactly that.
So over the last few months we’ve been collaborating with @EdinburghUni, @Three_Create, @leedsbeckett and Real Living Homes (@Phil_Barrett) to develop and test it.
Fantastic article. The term "affordable housing" needs a rebrand, it has been used as a marketing tool rather than actually being affordable to the many. A broken housing market is one of the reasons I set up Real Living Homes. People driven over profit driven focus
Now is the time to right some housing wrongs. Now is the time to build our future homes. My piece for @themjcouk @CIHhousing @WorldHabitat

Intensive care specialist Professor Hugh Montgomery explains why this coronavirus is different from the ordinary flu.
Surely the #1 integrated care record initiative in the UK. Amazing usage numbers
