If NHS nursing was a meritocratic system we would surely see far more nurses of Filipino origin in senior roles by now. What happened?

I am completely in favour of compulsory vacations for all NHS staff during the pandemic. If necessary they should be forced to take them.

Great to see another example today of the digital tools being developed @DigitalSBUHB to support our front line clinicians. The Cancer Treatment Summary electronic form will enable Oncologists to digitally update GPs on patient treatment plans. Piloting soon @SwanseabayNHS

Ok. Fancy parsing natural language and extracting @SNOMEDCT? This uses my open-source SNOMED toolchain and the @AWS Amazon Comprehend Medical API. Notice how generates a "best match" for non-interactive use but provides a list of choices if it is being used interactively.

Replying to @rhidian_hurle @AndrewEvansCPhO
The Network takes two approaches: 1. A national strategy with regional delivery 2. National up scale of regional innovation. Both of which ensures what works for one part of Wales can work for all of Wales. The key to both is collaboration & engaging staff on the coalface

It is important that people are given the health literacy to understand & act on this information. Giving people with CKD direct access to the Renal Medicines Service means they are supported in even the most complex of self care at/ close to home across @ABMhealth & @HywelDdaHB
