The best tweet on leadership and reputation I've seen for a very long time in the NHS. Thank you Kate.

I am really concerned that time and space for training is being eroded - as our training staff ballot over pay, I would suggest #notrainingnoservice as industrial action - we have to invest in our future @HCSANews

Our thoughts are with the family of James Brokenshire, MP, who died of lung cancer today aged 53. James was passionate about raising awareness of lung cancer, its devastating impact and the need for early diagnosis. pcrs-uk.org/sites/pcrs-uk.or…

Summary: The NHS… - Was under-resourced & under-staffed - Was hit HARDER than anywhere - Lost >850 staff, left 1/2 suffering PTSD, stretched 16x - ICUs mortality STILL good as anywhere - AND ran amongst world’s BEST vaccine programme So yes, the NHS IS pretty f**king special.

I’ve read this report from @iealondon and @K_Niemietz about the NHS “being nothing special”. At best, it’s a bit silly. At worst, well, I can’t really repeat that. Anyway, let’s take a look through it. /thread iea.org.uk/publications/vira…

Listening well is a rare superpower. I had been a bad listener most of my life. Then I fixed that a few years ago. The result? Night & day difference in my critical thinking & leadership ability. A thread on learning the art of listening v2.0 (with lessons from movies) 👇🏾

The government’s decision to delay the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine is, in my opinion, entirely wrong. It’s not evidence based and has huge potential for harm on many levels bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Pfizer Backs Two-Dose Shot Schedule as U.K. Spaces Out Shots

Pfizer Inc. said the second dose of its Covid-19 vaccine should be delivered to individuals within the recommended 21-day period, calling into question a decision by the U.K. to space out the dosing...

So in layman’s terms - give two doses to 50 people knowing it will work rather that one to 100 with a 50/50 chance it works?

3) against evidenced based medicine, sets bad precedent. 4) a kick in the teeth to our front line staff who have faced this. 5) we don’t even know whether this approach works. 6) don’t like political interference in mhra, needs to be independent for drug safety.

Vaccine 1 dose v 2. Got to be 2. 1)mixed messaging and undermines case that we know what we are doing with the vaccine. 2) % of population wise the amount of Pfizer vaccine we have not going to make a huge difference to national picture if given as 1 dose
