"It is better to be loved by those low and humble for undisguised honesty, than flattered by the great for purchased and pensioned hypocrisy." - John Clare
That’s all.
Important work. This is why holding to account is an essential role and those of us that do it should be fully supported and not reframed as trouble makers by the system. It’s not an easy job, we burn out. Tribute to the brilliant passionate peeps of NWL who were so on the ball!
Holding @HealthierNWL to account over its proposed introduction of same day hubs across North West London (nwlondonicb.nhs.uk/news/news…) 👇
14k people signed @SOSfamilydoctor’s petition against the plans. Pleased they have been paused. 🧑⚕️👩⚕️
"Could Thames Water be nationalised – and where did struggling company’s problems start?"
Short answer, yes and no matter what the chair or CEO of @thameswater might tell you there are all kinds of ways to do it and without costing the tax payer a penny.

Do we need more💰to fund a broken system or totally redesign & create a new health & care social contract with the public? Would a new government be courageous enough to shift resources from acute to community, primary, prevention, person not organisation? theguardian.com/society/2024…
The world has gone 🍌. We have no community centre, no community spaces, no health hub in North Kensington since Grenfell. However one person has a 4.6m payout. What will ours be. Let us guess. Zero. @RBKC @luhc @michaelgovedailymail.co.uk/news/article…
We need PROPER community engagement & consultation. It’s too difficult for many to see their GP in North Kensington as it is. Another layer of non GP’s just makes it more difficult. Can we retain & train more GP’s instead - sometimes the obvious IS the answer! @ClaireCNWL@Rob999
Good news that NHS NW London ICB has PAUSED the introduction of ‘same day access hubs’.
But what are hubs? Will they end GP/patient relationship as we know; or will they improve health outcomes?

Williamson has been referred (again) to GMC. Catherine's family want a new inquest to be held.
This whole saga underlines that managers must ask the right questions & not take easy options with #patientsafety

I once complained that power was not being shared that work was happening outside the group,that credit for community work was not being given fairly. It was an uncomfortable conversation. The response?Put through a formal complaints process, without agreement. The mind boggles.
You can apply this logic to working with communities and people with lived experience. Boxing in outcomes reduces the power of the exchange and denies potential. Many leaders coproduce up to the point that they feel they are losing control then they grab back power.
I've just signed this petition. Will you add your name and share too?

These awards devalue the others who work so hard. Covering up serious issues and defensive and aggressive brand management is not ok. It destroys lives.
Tree up feeling festive also still wearing my wonderful Tee given to me by @UCL_CoPro for its launch over 3 years ago and beautifully designed by @wecoproduce 🙏🏻
