The idea that Angus Taylor could be the next leader of the Liberals is absurd. His colleagues call him a lazy policy lightweight & there remain serious questions about his integrity.

Jonathan Biggins of the Wharf Revue encapsulates "Angus Taylor Swift" perfectly 👇.

Excellent discussion about a paper that implores us to stop researching and talking about 'safety culture'. It is a term that has stopped being useful and it is sucking time and energy away from things that can actually be effectively researched and improved.

@trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social for your 'Downsides of digital health presentation'? This case study of cseamless integration of tech' has raised a few eyebrows.
When we tell you that privatising NHS delivery a bad idea, it’s not “ideology”. It’s cos we know that health services redesigned by corporate stooges end up *undertreating* the poor, sick & complex - but also expensively *overtreating*/overtesting ppl where there’s money to be made. Case in point 👇
So this is the new great idea🤔

I’m pretty sure if Sarah had seen a GP she wouldn’t have needed to have a CT scan, no need to speak to the ENT registrar & yes it could be managed in the community

Why does NHS England always underestimate the skills of GPs?

This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!!

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.
The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

Me: AI has the potential to be really quite useful in healthcare settings

Also me: But maybe let's not have it making decisions just yet...

I don't think Satyan is over here....yet 😉 but his Human Stream newsletter is a fantastic resource. I'm fortunate enough to get to chat with him about this stuff IRL but each issue is a great conversation starter.
