Genius idea! No more hunting for a soup spoon as the draw only has 10,000 forks!

Been meaning to read this book by Ros Atkins for a while.

Looking to improve clarity and impact in my writing.

I've been analysing old social posts I write (such is how I roll)...

In an answer to this image... social media/Bluesky have a huge butterfly effect you don't always realise your posts have.

So TL:DR... keep posting for the greater good, you are making a difference.

Jeez. Just been sent an email with a QR code as an image to scan to access a website.

Apart from being completely ridiculous and unnecessary, without two devices I'm not sure how you do that!

For tech in health & social care to be successful it’s essential to think of the digital journey of the patient.

What’s the starting point & how will they be supported to gain confidence, knowledge & skills to use more digital tools to do what works for them.

Beware over depending on using ChatGPT and other AI tools to do your writing.

This is a cracking quote from a transcript, the only problem is no speaker actually said it and is a paraphrased sound bite from the full conversation.

3 years today I've been with the National CNIO team @englandcnio.bsky.social

It's been a blessing to work with such visonary leaders who have given me space to grow and belief in my own thinking.

It's CNIO bulletin sending day, so today I get the satisfying part of cranking open 'Worldview' and watching in real time email opens!

After what feels like centuries of fiddling about and tinkering with this strategy, I told myself to stop trying to get it perfect and just finish the 1st draft of the damn thing so my team can comment on it.

Finally got that done today!
