On Wednesday I lost control of @kscopehealth.bsky.social. It was great.
We've now transitioned to being 100% employee owned. Reflections on what 'ownership' has meant to me in my letter to fellow Kscopers: medium.com/@Richard.tau...
The ritual spectacle of the NHS leadership community coming together to watch telly.
The 10 Year Plan will have high ambitions. It might reference culture, but will it change it? New blog from me on change that works, learning from the past, and lessons from the 1120s.

#NHSConfedExpo
Twitter at #NHSConfedExpo in years gone by used to be the best bit. And now... well. So where are we at? Posting this on Bluesky, LinkedIn, (and the other one). Whichever has the most interaction by 10am is what I'm going with!
Our #NHSConfedExpo fringe starts with a bang at 10am Wed: talking how to make change that *works* with Thea Stein, & Cedi Frederick. Why stand in the Confed queue when you could be having coffee and listening to those galacticos? Register: tickettailor.com/events/kscopealternativeconfed/1714122
Ever wished there was a way to stop strategies just gathering dust on the shelf? Come and talk to us @kscopehealth.bsky.social (and if you want a sneaky early copy of our handy pocked guide, send me a DM and I'll pop one in the post).
We're about to launch our new @kscopehealth.bsky.social little guide to strategy, drawing on our decades of experience working in and supporting others with strategy development.
Want one before anyone else? DM me your address and I'll pop an advance copy in the post...
Most influential person on the NHS? Putin, by far.
I wrote this 2 years ago & very much playing out now. The NHS has been at the front of the public cash queue... No longer. There will be no Breakfast with Frost mk2. We're only slowly getting our heads round that.

Daughter: "have you met the head of the NHS?"
Me: "yes, but she resigned this week. She might have been coming to our event"
Daughter: "did she resign because she really didn't want to go to your event?"

A pleasing symmetry to be back in a place where 41 years ago I had just been born. Thanks Kent and Canterbury Hospital for all you do, then and now.

editorial from @bmj.com and paper: Poor staff retention is associated with higher patient mortality. Have said it before & I’ll say it again. If you don’t care for the carers, they cannot care for their patients.

Chair says something controversial in board paper - which is publicly available. Paper then magically disappears. The NHS's commitment to transparency is sometimes paper thin.

Hoping it might clear up by lunch and we'll get a decent number of overs by tea.

Organisational change is hard. If only we knew what stopped it happening. Oh, we do? Now that's useful...

Red lights still here
Time for a beer

I'm still yawning
If you have children in a state secondary in London, or work for one, I can come and give a wee careers talk about what's it like working in the VCSE. It's nothing spectacular, but there is always a few lovely young people whose ears prick up when I eulogise about work with purpose.
Well you're a kind thing, and a very lovely lunch it was too x
No more important task today than to follow (in more ways than one) @suzettew.bsky.social and heed her wisdom - there's very few I agree with more.
