Hi everyone 👋. We're planning to run our 2nd event on the 20th of November. We'd love to return to the MoJ but we need someone who works at Petty France who can be around until 7pm on that day. If that's you or you know someone who can help please send us a DM. Thanks!
A quick note saying that @markdsauza_d has done a great job fixing our website to make it responsive. Quick, high quality and great value for money. Thanks Mark!
Hi folks. If you have experience building websites with Wix (or know someone that does) please drop me a DM. I've got an issue that can probably be solved in 5 mins but how eludes me. Many thanks!

I'm on a plane and thinking about how Danaher promised to release the results of an independent audit on TB test pricing and then .... just didn't. We just want what you promised, @danahercorp.

Hey @benaldo - just wanted to say that the blogs post on the gaps in service delivery content was excellent. I hope your team continues to work in the open to that standard.
But not Bluesky or Mastodon? This feels like a mistake given the current trends.

Hey everyone. Myself, @GavinFreeguard and @DerekAlton are looking for a free / relatively cheap space near-ish to the Cabinet Office where we could host a series of talks about government transformation. If you know of any unheard of gems please let us know!
This sounds great @GDSTeam . I hope that these videos are going to be public. #MakeThingsOpenMakesThemBetter
🧠 At GDS, we want staff to leave more expert than when they joined.
🗣️ We run a monthly Speaker Series with speakers from digital, data and tech.
Dr Jonathan Clarke from @imperialcollege spoke to us today, about network science approaches to the analysis of health systems.
ALT Dr Jonathan Clarke is pictured standing beside a purple and blue banner; which says: "We are GDS, a career that makes a difference and makes you proud".
Huge props to @codeforamerica for putting so much of their 2024 summit up on YouTube.

It's excellent to read in @GDSTeam 's blog about their working with governments in other countries but why does this feel so sporadic and one-off? A blog post : medium.com/desiderium-sciend….
