Pleased to share this article in @timeshighered - Meike Schleiff and I make the case to strengthen global #healthsystems education. timeshighereducation.com/opi… These ideas underpin our new MSc in Health Systems, Policy, and Innovation at @ucl_GBSH ucl.ac.uk/prospective-studen…

Health systems need more than just doctors. They need systems thinkers

Many graduates are catapulted into health leadership roles without the necessary perspective, vocabulary or skills, say Meike Schleiff and Kabir Sheikh

A great 2day match vs Buxted Park U17s this week! Anhad Sheikh starred with 155* & 37, supported by Dexter Duthie (70). We declared 278/4, then bowled them out for 229 (Viraaj Malik 6/76). Set 210 to win, Buxted chased it down with 7 wickets to spare - Ralph Treherne unbeaten 76.

How might we resist the pull to frame resilience as an outcome, state, or attribute — rather than a process that unfolds, whether the outcome is ve or -ve? Please read our new essay — led by @Sydney_Uni PhD researcher @KyawMyatThuu — saying: "analyse it as a learning process!"
