As we approach #2025, I’m delighted to share I’m taking on a new role as Regional Director at EMIS Optum!

As we move into a new era, I couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to work across North East & Yorkshire and North West #NHS Regions.

If this is your patch, I’d love to connect!

Listening to Simon Sinek speaking about the loss of #idealism.

There is a truth here.

If we’re not chasing a vision of a preferred future, we will be very tempted to settle for something far less than preferred.

Let’s not disguise #pessimism as #realism and accept less than deserved.

Happy Friday @bsky.app!

As we close in on another weekend, I was reflecting on this thought from Steve Jobs during my morning walk.

“Innovation is seeing change as an opportunity - not a threat.”

It’s not always a human default, but we must consider, “what if” quicker than “why not”…

Happy Wednesday #Bluesky

My #midweekmotivation has hit in listening to the #HighPerformancePodcast with @mayorofldn.bsky.social.

In a world dominated by headlines, we must remember talent may get you somewhere, but consistency will keep you.

We LOVE story time in our house and our three-year-old can recite the majority of the works of #JuliaDonaldson and #AxelScheffler.

The greatest thing as a dad is hearing how she can transport any situation into a story and I never want to her to lose that love and power of books.

#Inspire
Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

True masculinity is vulnerability.

Create space.

Check in.

Be real.

Don’t be ashamed to mention it if you feel that you can’t manage. Talking will save lives.

Interesting chat in #GeneralPractice around patients with #depression in #PrimaryCare.

Higher #DNA, levels, more #onlineconsultations, prompting discussions of how we best engage cohorts.

With #data, we can impact patient outcomes.

In world where people love to broadcast their thoughts, being heard and understood is one of the greatest gifts we can receive.

If you want to #lead well, practice offering this gift up.

Love this from Adam Grant…

Sounds very reasonable 👇
Word of this morning is ‘procaffeinate’: to put everything on hold until you’ve had sufficient amounts of coffee.

Here’s some #MondayMotivation straight from the #ChristmasMarket this weekend.

“Life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself.”

In #streaming news, how good is Eddie Redmayne?

Watching #TheDayoftheJackal on #NOWTV and he’s a special kind of actor, no need to speak.

Kind of lead performance which takes me back to Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby and Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock in terms of class.

Bravo.
