While political attention is elsewhere, a radical little programme of work has slipped out largely under the radar by Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities, with quite big implications for how the centre might shift towards place-based working.

An incredible couple of days at the Lancashire and South Cumbria ICB population health leadership academy. Huge thanks to Jennie Popay Pritpal S Tamber & Cormac Russell for stretching our thinking about power, community and the power of communities. If we don’t understand this, we cannot create health equity.

Today of all days: as one more attempt to deport desperate people to Rwanda is made - no one is waiting in our NHS because of “illegal” immigration.

Love these operational principles from the Nuka system. In the UK we often say system working is all about relationships but then leave that vague rather than unpacking all that means as a way of working with communities #Quality2024

An incredible thing happened yesterday. I played Yahtzee with my daughter. On my first go I threw a Yahtzee in 3 rolls. Immediately after, my daughter threw a Yahtzee in 2 rolls. Immediately after I threw a Yahtzee in 1!! Those odds are tiny & we ran about screaming.

Congratulations to all our Chorley & Royal Preston colleagues who have been involved in this fabulous work 👏👏

A brilliant keynote session this morning - Vin Diwakar Penny Pereira Amy Edmondson & Don Berwick hosted like a boss by the brilliant Gabrielle Matthews! Can we rebuild the NHS into a psychologically safe, high performing, accessible and learning organisation? I believe we can!

Read my The BMJ piece on the necessity of transforming the economy - including how innovation is governed - to deliver #HealthForAll . Read bmj.com/content/385/bm…

Great way to finish the day listening to Amy Edmondson about her new book ‘Right Kind of Wrong: Why Learning to Fail Can Teach Us to Thrive’ - a vital truth and great wisdom for those of us working in health and care!

Such a joy to be with these two wonders #HellomynameisAilsa 💙 & Ben Morris 🏳️‍🌈 presenting Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) forum on how we combine improvement and population health to tackle health inequity. Learning to listen, being changed in the process, outraged at injustice and challenging poor outcomes!

Andy Knox Bola Owolabi Hugh Alderwick Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) nukahealth We researched Nuka a decade ago and good to hear it's still succeeding and transforming. Full story and lessons for NHS here assets.kingsfund.org.uk/f/256914/x/941…

“We have to learn to UNLEARN and undo things. We have to really listen.. people with lived experience have better ideas than what we could come up with ..and we have to have moral outrage!!!” Andy Knox YES 👏🏼 👏🏼

Andy Knox talking through the 7 I's of improvement. Let's do things radically differently. His passion is palpable around eradicating inequalities and using social movement of change. Let's get outraged and not accept status quo
