How well do we understand our waiting lists? The video of our session is now up on YouTube... youtu.be/3peqTEl_ZAQ?si=UbsC…
Thanks again for the great engagement in the session and sorry we didn't get to all of the Qs. You can get involved and ask Qs at the github discussions page.
Thanks to all who joined for the great questions, and to #HACA2024 for the opportunity! Work on the package is happening here (please do get involved): github.com/nhs-r-community/N…

Dear 🇬🇧,
Here’s your weekly reminder that 10 years ago, your NHS was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don’t need a new system. You need a new govt that won’t destroy your public NHS to feed a private system. Your family isn’t safe in #ToryBritain.
#SOSNHS
ALT The 2013 Commonwealth Fund Overall Healthcare Rankings. The UK’s public system was ranked 1 overall. The privatised US system was ranked last overall. Private healthcare is always worse for patients and worse for the taxpayer. You don’t need a new system. You need a new government that won’t catastrophically defund the NHS.

We want to publish stuff in the open. We can't use NHS Futures because it's not open. We can't use GitHub because some organisations block it (!). We can't spend any money on hosting.
Er...
(well, Netlify, I suppose, but COME ON. Make it easy for us, really!)

How can we close the 'Goldacre gap'? Our very own @andrzeio outlines his ideas for increasing the impact of data analysis in the NHS, in his latest article for @HSJnews. Read the full piece here: hsj.cdn.wilmingtonplc.com/20…

Last weekend to apply!
If you're not sure, interview us. Ask lots of hard questions at the end of the interview and if you don't like the answers, just walk away.
I think you will love the work and the team, but don't be afraid to find out.
Come help us be awesome! 🙏

Everyone talks about how social media is bad for your mental health, but what about Excel?

10,000 people working in #analytics across the NHS vs 17,000 across the rest of Government does start to make you wonder why the centre is so obsessed with issuing endless 'strategies' when it could be supporting thriving communities of good practice, with real #practical focus.
