Feels like something that would entertain you also @samhallcymru.bsky.social
Been fixating lately on individual e-scooters being seized and towed away on needlessly large low-loaders.

Decided to start relearning Welsh. Duolingo seems to think we all talk about (and to) dragons regularly... #Cymraeg

10 YEAR PLAN - Neighbourhoods

DOI: We aim to fit into the new multiple neighbourhood provider (MNP) model, and our member practices and PCNs have major stakes in the single neighbourhood provider (SNP) model

The Plan is a mixed bag of good stuff and areas that need tightening for delivery.

Astonishing evidence at the Covid Inquiry.

The Government repeatedly ignored offers from the Crick Institute to provide mass testing on a national scale.

Instead, the Government paid Deloitte consultants to project manage, not yet established, privately run labs.

New life stage: Allotment

Veg patch now prepped. Peas are in. Beetroot and spinach next. So much to sort on the rest of the plot, but a joyous fruit section is already established (if full of weeds).

The more research I do into how people use technology, the more I realise that the biggest mistake is assuming or mandating that everyone should do everything the same way. Some things work for some people, very few things work for everyone www.careful.industries/blog/2025-3-...

Gold dust as always from @rachelcoldicutt.bsky.social
Thinking about why public services should
not be designed in the same way as private-sector ones. I've 5 points so far:
(1) CHOICE: with v few exceptions, we get to choose the private-sector digital services we use but most public services need to be universal at the point of access

What are you favourite Agile courses for those new to working this way? Thinking about nurturing delivery, product and ideally service skills (not all at the same time/course!).

This is SUCH a predictable scenario. And such poor system design. Honestly even if GP practices can't see this for themselves (& they should), the software companies ought to invest in some codesign.
Argh!!! GP admin why are you so frustrating!

I message about something via the online portal this AM. Tell them it’s not urgent + I can’t take a call today anyway.

Week 1 at @dhcwales.bsky.social in the bag. Gentle start of getting set up and meeting a few people. Ramped up quickly with speed learning on GP systems. Brilliant to see the team in action, lots of passion, dedication and knowledge. Chuffed as beans to be there 🙌

A thread on AI, the NHS, and my view of some problems. Most of this is copied from a reply I did to a good article on HSJ on the subject.

The NHS's AI problem is mainly to do with two things:
- "shiny new toy" syndrome
- outright disinformation by conflicted people
