Next Friday will sadly be my last Friday tweet on Twitter. I’ll recreate on Bluesky for those who connect to me there. I’m @mroutled there too. If you’re not able to join me there - it’s been lovely. And remember always ask “What’s Next”?

We need to shift from the idea that the problem for social care is how to make the legacy system sustainable. It isn’t & can’t be. The challenge is rather how to evolve a system that is sustainable because it does the right things in the right ways
