I've co-authored a book review, out in @BMJLeader! The time around surgery is a "teachable moment". When 'prevention' works best. Reduce complications, regret, unwarranted operations, avoidable intensive care... We wrote review in a personal capacity - not by @CPOC_News. See link

Stunning talk by @PSCommissioner about #PatientSafety. At #WIMIN24 by @WIMIN_UK. How to be "difficult" (especially women leaders), collaborating, partnership, dealing with challenge, values, behaviours. Fantastic work, eg "Martha's rule". I'm ready for #HSJpatientsafety next week
