Quagmire of indecision or catalyst for change?
The NHS 10 year plan was published without a delivery chapter. There's no absence of good ideas but the implementation has long been a challenge. Can we create an opportunity to do things differently?

New blog: Shock & horror the NHS 10yr plan has no delivery chapter!
But national delivery hasn’t been the success we’d want or expect.
Can we take this quagmire of indecision & make an opportunity for change to happen locally with staff, people & communities?

Coming to the view that perhaps we do need age limits on social media, say banning its use for men over the age of 65?

Completely agree. Don’t know what the evidence base is on the increased knowledge work to mental health. Digital has erroded historic work/life balance. AI potentially increases workload. Current mindfulness approaches are not sufficient.

Seriously though lots of mixed signals on the value and impact of AI right now. There’s definitely a need to create trusted information on unintended consequences.

Seems to be different views on the value of this ie see Topol post below. Would be interested to learn more on how to reconcile the difference.

That’s significant ambition considering past successes to improve transport in Leeds & across the northern cities.

... on advisers who have not always delivered the best advice. I feel like we're memeing a leadership crisis into existence that isn't necessary or desirable. We have a broadly decent human as PM, which given the shitshows in other countries is a blessing we should be counting.

Let’s not forget the promise of the algorithm was to help trained the tsunami of information we have coming at us in the digital age.
Misaligned incentives & algorithm function are linked by not the same thing.
We still need better tools to help manage increasingly more information.

Why are people annoyed the current government is cleaning up NHS data & removing dead people from waiting lists - and not that previous governments apparently didn't bother?

I’m both ridiculously confused by the single line thing and also shrugging my shoulders wondering if it’s a side effect of different generations cultural norms…
One of the realy interesting post-pandemic trends are 'people doing a thing that they clearly can't possibly be enjoying and ignoring everyone else urging them not to'.

lots of people, especially on here, are fastened onto the idea that it's just AI bro marketing or whatever to consider it a fixture of the information landscape. it's easy to think that when everyone in your circles is an ethical AI refuser. but I'm afraid it really has been mass adopted.

Interesting to see progress on the implementation of AI into the NHS App for triage.
A trial has been completed and the next phase is expanding to a larger area.
