Looking forward to joining @NHSEngland tomorrow on the Digital Prevention Services programme working across vaccinations, cancer screening and the Digital NHS Health Check.
Today is my last day at @MoJGovUK
After seeing the service meet a “Met” status in its GDS service assessment and the unique experience of visiting a category A prison, I’m now open to contract Front-end Development roles.
Used my GP practices online consultation system today (Patches), triaged and got an appointment for this morning. Not the story for everyone, but it can be done!

Absolutely horrified to learn that some accessibility overlay tools actively work to hide errors found by WAVE.
As an example, this page has 361 detectable errors in its default state. However, when WAVE is activated, UserWay manipulates the page content to make all text black on white, give all images alt="image", etc. resulting in 0 WAVE errors.
