Great aspiration, but feels like an unachievable aim when the reality of NHS tech is that my office computer hasn't worked for 2 weeks and is still awaiting a fix, and the clinic computer crashed 5 times during clinic today.

The NHS has been stuck in the past for too long, with staff and patients relying on letters, phone queues and fax machines. That doesn’t match the reality of our lives today. We are transforming the NHS App, making it easier for patients to access the healthcare they need.

Auschwitz Memorial
@AuschwitzMuseum4 Feb 2025
Most Jews deported by Nazi Germany to Auschwitz for extermination were given the illusion of resettlement & new life. They packed their suitcases with all the essential items. Hope became one of the most important weapons. Many suitcases we preserve and display at the Memorial are unique personal documents as they carry the names of their owners. Listen about the plunder of property in Auschwitz: youtube.com/watch?v=Gse2mP3Z… (Photo: instagram.com/mariapitariu)
A museum exhibit showing a large display case filled with stacks of aged, dark-colored suitcases and wicker baskets. Many of the suitcases have names and numbers written on them, signifying their owners who were victims of Auschwitz. The dim lighting and reflective glass add a somber atmosphere to the scene, emphasizing the tragic historical significance of these artifacts.
