as an NHS resident (though not for much longer), this blog really resonates
This was such a great "Wicked Problems" session at #ICRE2025 yesterday.

got a bag nicked two years ago in a pub and 1) the pub offered to give the police CCTV 2) it took me a while to block my Monzo so I had a list of places the thief had spent my money in, and they also presumably have CCTV, but the police refused to investigate
some guys with placards though? on it!
