@datadictum @TheRegister @SteveBarclay Just reading the report of the review published by GSST:
'Learning and accountability – This review has been about understanding fully and learning all lessons from the events that took place.
The Trust must be accountable for acting upon those lessons without fear or favour.'

It took my legs a few minutes to warm up this morning, but glad to report that long morning walks remain easy, in contrast to later in the day. #Totnes is waking up beautifully ☀️
5 miles walked this morning, with no adverse effects. Then strimmed & mowed a lawn. Great to not be worried about my heart and lungs as I got a real workout from the gardening. However, I'm mindful of the warnings of some with #LongCovid that I should continue to pace myself.
📢 Scarlet fever is usually a mild illness but can be serious if left untreated. It's highly contagious and mostly affects young children.
We're reminding parents of the symptoms following a rise in cases across the country. 🧵👇

If you think your child is showing signs of #ScarletFever it's important to contact your local GP or #NHS111.
Stay away from nursery, school or work for 24 hours after taking the 1st dose of antibiotics.

Promised I would do that summary thread on the @NHSEngland #planningguidance for 22/23 so here it is......slightly longer than anticipated!
Priorities in the planning guidance are to be kept under review in light of #Omicron - and are based on a scenario of covid-19 returning to low levels. Planning timetable extended to April (draft due mid March) given existing operational pressures.
Announcements of a delay to putting ICS' on a statutory footprint to July 22 has already received quite a bit of attention such as here (remains subject to passage of Bill through Parliament): hsj.co.uk/integrated-car…
The man's either lying or he's DANGEROUSLY ignorant / ill-informed.

I know the point at which the caller broke down and cried.
I was there, and I heard it all.
It was during my second call, to conclude on a grim possibility of Methotrexate overdose in a very sick child.
Multiple co-morbidities.

Its 7.45pm - I'm due to leave at 8pm. I hope.
It’s never happened of course.
I feel a little mentally drained, I sip my cold coffee and wince.
Must get that thermal mug I keep promising myself.

Case open, I read scant notes, I will realise later why.
The case came through with some haste.
I start my call.
The caller: a father.
I start to hear that "whoosh" sound in my ears.
Fight and flight response. I grab my paper pad and pen, start scribbling down notes.

I truly adore my #elderly patients. I will go to the ends of the earth to help them.
Probably because they all remind me of my grandparents.
I lost mine by the time I was born and then in my late teens.
Today a 96-year old had suffered 4 days...

before he owned up to swallowing difficulty with his abx for his cellulitis.
He has private carers who gave him all the “well let’s try this” advice.
Today he felt he needed someone who knew a little more than the carers.
We spoke about his legs, they were getting better.

I changed his abx to liquid so he didn’t choke every time he tried to swallow.
We talked about his care, dressings, infection rate.
"It’s good I pay them well".
We talked about his food. "Yes, I have plenty my 2 daughters have taken care of that, and ..

[THREAD] Over the weekend, I ran a poll on initiatives aimed at improving access to #NHS #primarycare. While respondents probably aren’t representative of the wider population, I think the results are striking: what people want most is convenience. (1/5)
@harrylongman’s much larger survey of patients of 12 GP practices using @askmygp shows that only 15% of patients prefer face-to-face appointments as the default. (2/5)
Meanwhile, @GPatHand – while hugely popular with its patients – breaks the NHS’s traditional #placebased funding model. pulsetoday.co.uk/news/gp-topics… (3/5)
If you have an interest in #AI, #HealthTech or #PatientSafety - then please read this evidence based thread which tells the story of @DrMurphy11 & an #eHealth #AI #Chatbot.

is not a 'nerd'; he's a pretty typical NHS consultant with an interest in #PatientSafety.
On 6th Jan 2017 a tweet about an #eHealth #AI #Chatbot in #NHS trials caught his attention, so he thought he'd take a look. 1/44

Evidence here 👇
Dr Murphy downloaded the @babylonhealth App & tried the #Chatbot with a few simple clinical presentations. It quickly became apparent that the #Chatbot had flaws, raising the question if the App had been validated as a triage tool?
