Dr Tom Downes is ideally placed to continue to make progress towards the ambitions set out in NHS England's Ageing Well Programme in the NHS Long Term Plan. He understands that if you get services right for older people, they will work better for everyone. bgs.org.uk/policy-and-med…

I was teaching our doctors today about incident investigations and how they don’t have to be negative experiences. Patient safety relies on us getting this process right. Culture and values are the key to psychological safety in my view. PSIRF can help.

Thanks team Holmwood for such a great welcome to the ward. SASH NHS Trust #oneteam

I’m really going to miss working with the team on IRU - what an amazing bunch dedicated to the care of older patients - thanks for everything, including the move we made at the start of Covid. I’m sorry to go, but also excited about joining the acute elderly medicine service.

Such a nice ward round this morning with our FY2 and medical student alongside my new Specialist doctor colleague. There’s nothing more rewarding than a good ward round and time well spent with patients and the team. #medicineisbrilliant

I am looking forward to sharing all of the amazing positive stories I have about our PAs here at SASH NHS Trust at the Royal College of Physicians EGM this week. I know many of you are feeling low, but please remember how awesome you are and such a valued part of our #oneteam . #Medicineisbrilliant

To the amazing women I have the honour to work with and for at SASH NHS Trust - too many to name!

It has been a fascinating start to Nuffield Trust's #NTSummit . So much talk about moving away from transactions and back towards relationships in all that we do, but do our words match our actions here? It's not going to happen on its own - a challenge for us all...

It’s so easy to focus on human error, but health systems should reduce the risk of harm occurring despite inevitable mistakes. Learning from incidents allows us to enhance mistake-proofing in the system. #NTSummit

Chris Whitty discuss how local health systems can support older people to live in good health for longer. 💬 #NTSummit

Less deprived people live longer AND spend fewer years in poor health, and this is good news, says Professor Chris Whitty at #NTSummit . It means it is biologically possible to have longer lives and to expect *less* need for NHS services, if we similarly improved health of the more deprived

I think this challenge is spot on. It rings true. We really all ought to reflect on how we ensure psychological safety in our organisations at all levels. We’re all only human. #NTSummit

I was really struck by the honesty of this. I’d recommend watching the talk. Thought provoking.
