So many comments I could make on this post, but let’s go with the most important one: I’m so glad they wrote it. Read their wisdom.
Patient records and the NHS App are in the news again. Me and @MattStibbs wrote down some thoughts. TLDR: the perfect architectural approach won’t solve for fundamental environmental challenges that need addressing. public.digital/pd-insights/b…

Uncertainty is the only certainty!
Expert forecasts, using an evidence based protocol, reveal wide variation in how hospital activities may evolve over the next 20 years, helping the NHS plan more robustly for the future. See our publication in the BMJ bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/1…

This is the moment Ratcliffe power station came off the electricity system for the final time, marking the end of 142 years of coal generating electricity in Great Britain!

To narrow the gender pay gap, give fathers more paternity leave. This is an incredibly good idea, because it links two good things together. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
In acute hospital management, there is a big focus on "flow" of patients though the hospital from admission to discharge. And that is often focussed on beds. After a career in manufacturing I'm trying to recalibrate to this mental model, and I thought I'd write a bit about why...
While the patient focuses on healing, the hospital has control of reducing delays for admin, diagnostics, theatres, and doctor decisions.
And yet, we only talk of "length of stay", often just an integer aggregate of all of the above.
And so my struggle to recalibrate continues!
