Great article citing the challenges of transforming and improving health care delivery, in what is a complex adaptive system… I love the analogy of blood flow and vessel integrity turbulence and clots … spot on thank you for sharing. Beautifully written ⬇️ @Marktheliverdoc
‘Bring back the matrons’, ‘get rid of the managers – let the doctors and nurses run the place’. Armchair experts are everywhere. The problem is when politicians start acting on their advice. doi.org/10.1016/j.fhj.2024.1… Time for a systems thinking approach

Leaders are often promoted into positions without essential people skills. They may have longevity, strategic thinking, the right connections but they never say “how are you really doing?” “thank you for everything you’ve done” or “I’m sorry I got that wrong” Leadership is this.

We need to invest in technology & AI to manage osteoporosis (often silent & long-term condition) to prevent the subsequent fractures. Any investment in Fracture Liaison Services will pay double benefits in return. Sharing our Welsh FLS model @RoyalOsteoSoc youtu.be/jGUduex2s9M?si=ORLE…
Osteoporotic fractures are a major health challenge in older adults, with better case-finding and fracture risk assessment strategies needed. In @TheLancetEndo, authors explore the potential of AI and machine learning to transform osteoporosis management: hubs.li/Q02NNYGV0

what does @wesstreeting mean when he refers to the NHS as broken? Fixing the health care delivery system must include social care, a long term strategy for tackling the root causes of current challenges, and avoid changing the NHS funding model bmj.com/content/386/bmj.q152…
