I never get tired of hearing Chris Bentley. Amazing inspiring speakers. None of them haven't mentioned the vital role of the #VCSE in transforming health & care. But I could cry. Our sector & the vital work that we deliver is being decimated. #CPHCONF2024 @populationhealth.bsky.social

AMAZING presentation from Keighley Healthy Living & @actasonebdc.bsky.social showing the impact of the integrated VCSE & NHS Rethinking Pain Service. Tangible, high impact outcomes with tackling #healthinequalities at the ❤️ Excellent transferable & scalable model @populationhealth.bsky.social

Pleased to be at the #CPHCONF2024
@populationhealth.bsky.social conference hosted by Kala Sangam @actasonebdc.bsky.social

#MondayMotivation

Being at peace/accepting the financial challenges as a CEO or Senior Manager is really hard... but the more time spent being royally naffed off, the less time spent cracking on with the plan...

Morning at St George's Crypt (wonderful work with homeless people in Leeds) talking to urgent care colleagues across West Yorks about how we achieve transformation. The heart sink moment from today was seeing the average age of death for people who are homeless. We must do better.

Lunch time #bluesky Much needed head clearing!

Wednesday morning motivation ❤️

Like one of my favourite writers @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social I've forever been focused on feminism (& still am) but on #InternationalMensDay I would encourage everyone to read this book. It is eye opening, sad and hilarious. And as a Mum with boys it made me think a lot.

Chilly day for a site meeting but amazing seeing our 'new' Cellar Trust home coming together so brilliantly. A beautiful integrated health & wellbeing provision in #Shipley coming next summer. #ShipleyTownsFund #LevellingUp

Son and dog both distinctly unimpressed at the anticlimax this morning (forecast was for heavy snow all night) 🤣🌨️❄️

Some Tuesday morning inspiration ❤️

Thanks to @helenbevan.bsky.social for sharing this model on collaboration. Inspired me to reflect on where we are in terms of the relationship between the VCSE & the NHS.

First couple of days on here and it's so lovely to have a feed filled with joy, nature and pet pics, interesting articles & comments. & no sniping or nastiness in sight!

Happy Monday everyone from Edward the Sprocker....

I had a great time presenting at the @locality.bsky.social Convention this week with Bill Graham on top tips for the VCSE collaborating with the NHS and West Yorkshire being 1st Keep it Local ICS in the country. Loved meeting my Shero Donna Hall in real life too 🥰

Awww I didn't know you did that! 🥰 Erin is so cute. @hevtattersall.bsky.social will love her! Edward says hi!

First @bsky.app post

A scary venture away from the dark side & the dawn of something new, hopeful and positive ...
