Nice to be in fine company for book announcements!
We’ve got another PACKED #DHHNewsRoundup for you this week, folks. Congratulations to our clients on their wonderful news! 🥂 shorturl.at/RHxlF
I have published an Exec Summary slide-deck of my Health and Devo report from May to help with local conversations. Given the focus on an English Devolution Bill I thought it might be particularly useful today. Download it at the bottom of this webpage: nhsconfed.org/publications/p…
It's about efficiency and sustainability, not just asking for more money. As the post-election dust settles, @ConfedMatthew speaks to @Paul_Corrigan and @IsabelHardman for our #HealthOnTheLine podcast about the early announcements from the new government nhsconfed.org/podcast/avoidi…
"Its not just the staff themselves. Thinking about mechanisms like how can you pool staff, how can you help the workforce to work across different sites?" Earlier @LaylaMcCay spoke to @BBCBreakfast about measures that could be taken to combat NHS waiting lists more quickly 👇📺
Love this. Thanks, Ben!
Breaking barriers, one Rainbow Ceiling at a time! Ben Oliver shares his insights from @LaylaMcCay's recent talk with five strategies helping employers cultivate a supportive environment for LGBTQ+ employees. thersa.co/4eJiC1K #RSAPride #Pride

We asked our members "what could health leaders do, working with a new government, to improve patient outcomes"❓💭 Our chair @Voa1234 and chief executive @ConfedMatthew have written to @wesstreeting setting out their answers. nhsconfed.org/publications/l…
@NuffieldTrust @BecksFisher Congratulations. Looking forward to working with you in this role, Becks!
Some thoughts on the #NHS legacy the government will inherit and what they will need to prioritise. NHS featured much less in the campaign than it should have but that will change as many unanswered Qs will now come to the fore. @NHSConfed linkedin.com/pulse/election… via @LinkedIn
As #Pride month draws to a close we're sharing a video with Chris Barlow, @QueeringCulture, @LaylaMcCay, @MikeFindMedia and @Nzube, that discusses what Pride means to each of them. Thank you to all those who took part in #RSAPride inc. @Fetozzato & @Sabacelebritypa. 🏳️🌈🙌
@littlehux @HotKeyBooks #authorgoals Congratulations - very cool
Rising long term sickness absences affect both individual wellbeing and the economy. It’s time for innovative solutions and a fresh approach. We’ve been working with @BCG to look at why a whole-of-government approach is key and how it can be taken forward. 🧵1/10
