Freddie Mercury.

Good grief. He was so special. So incredibly precious. So insanely talented.

What a joy.

Really enjoyed #ACompleteUnknown the biopic of Bob Dylan and particularly the #NewStatesman podcast on the protest song - so well done by Dylan through the civil rights movement. In an age of change, so surprised there’s not been more protest songs.

#OnThisDay in 1945, Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp was liberated.

Everyone should watch this and hear Oliver’s story.

Listening to lived experiences of people with learning disabilities and autistic people, as part of the #OliverMcGowanTraining and I’m heartbroken and inspired at the same time. Gosh we need to do better. Not just in the NHS but as humanity. #LearningDisabilities #LivedExperience

The incredible Land of Lights in #MiltonKeynes this evening. Stunning.

We’ve been getting creative developing a #LoveActually skit for Tik Tok. A new way to get our Pharmacy First message across as hospitals get busy and Christmas approaches. This is behind the scenes with my brilliant team. #BLMKWinterActually

I was born in the early 50's before the polio vaccine had been invented. I contracted actual polio and spent months in an isolation ward with no physical contact with family. Fortunately I was lucky and emerged largely unscathed. Many did not. It's a real danger, don't allow it to come back.

On Friday we said goodbye to our Chair, Dr Rima Makarem who has led our organisation since 2020. She’s been such a huge advocate for us especially for the #DennyReview. We wish her all the best in her new role in Somerset. @blmkhealthcare.bsky.social

Chief Medical Officer’s annual report 2024: health in cities Professor Whitty’s report outlines a broad range of health opportunities and challenges for city populations, and includes case studies from core cities in England.

"Making walking and cycling more practical and safer would go a long way toward removing barriers to improving physical activity levels and could significantly improve the health of England’s increasingly urban population."

Fantastic to join Caroline Lewis, CEO of Mind BLMK, to promote the NHS App! 🌟 Mental health and physical health go hand in hand - the NHS App lets you order repeat prescriptions, book GP appointments, & check your health record #BedsBoroughNHSAppDay

Festive fun with the team. Such a privilege to lead a talented group of people. #TeamTime

Today, we had the pleasure of sharing valuable information with ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) students at MK College about local health services. We discussed how to stay well this winter and make smart choices about the services available to them. #BLMKwinter

Finished making the sash for the Scouts Christmas Tree Festival, but no mum credits. The elves helped…

We had an amazing time with Healthwatch MK and
MK Council at the Pencarrow drop-in! It was great to talk to residents about sharing tips on staying healthy this winter and choosing the right services. For more information go to blmkhealthandcarepartnership.org/winter-health/ #BLMKWinter #StayWell

A huge shoutout to Community Action MK and Bedford Foodbank for inviting us to join their events last week! It was fantastic to chat with residents visiting the #RamgarhiaSabha and #FoodBank about local healthcare, staying well this winter, and making smart choices about services.

A great festive networking lunch with Bedford Borough Healthwatch today. Always good to meet residents and partners to listen to local views. Food was delicious too.

Never forget that in 1861 Charles Darwin wrote in a letter to a friend..

“But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything"

...because this is my favorite reminder that we can do great things even if we don't always have great days

Please share! Work in the NHS? Fancy a free coffee or tea? Visit your local Starbucks today! ☕️☕️☕️

It was a great event. The start of new policies for a zero carbon service.

If, like me you are fascinated by behaviour change, especially in relation to health, you might want to follow these people.

I volunteered to make a sash with badges for this year’s ChristmasTree Festival with the #Scouts. Confession… I can’t sew, but I sometimes have great and grand ideas. I might be here all night. Wish me luck.

Starmer warned NHS reforms will fail over ‘worrying’ trend in staff recruitment The UK is failing to train up home-grown healthcare staff and relying too much on overseas workers, experts warn

Culture and a positive and supportive working environment has never been more important. #NHS www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
