‘Intelligent failure’ is important. This is why we pilot things - make informed decisions about what to keep and develop and what didn’t really work as well as we had hoped.

So much about this report I could highlight. 3 things to start: 1. Doctors feel professionally undervalued 2. Under 40s most likely to leave - worrying for future capacity 3. Impact of current NHS systems on dr wellbeing cannot be ignored SMERC Scottish Doctors Well-being Study

Thank you to RCPEdin for sponsoring #HeraldLiveHealthSummit24 and to our panellists Lindsey Pope Hugh Pearson Donald Macaskill Conor Maguire 👇

Agree wholeheartedly Donald Macaskill - great discussions highlighting we are all doing the best we can in challenging times. And how important the time and space for cross system thinking and working could be in the times ahead! Thanks The Herald

These terms resonate with me as a GP - ‘repair work’ and ‘adjustment work’ - do they resonate with others working in the modern day NHS? I think it helps describe how we work with patients to navigate complex and fragmented systems

If you are interested in public service and think you could contribute to the NES board, why not join our info session at 6 pm this evening? For full details see Applicant Pack Welcome letter at shorturl.at/abuP4 David Garbutt Public Appointments Prof Karen Reid

Living longer by preventing the onset of a chronic disease

Is very different to living longer by aggressively treating one.

Looking forward to being on this panel. I don’t think there’s ever been a more challenging time for General Practice in Scotland so look forward to discussing and debating how we might work together to tackle the challenges lying ahead for us all.
