Steve McManus @CEO_RBFT of @RBNHSFT runs big hospitals - but, like Wes Streeting, he wants to “move the point of delivery upstream, into a more preventative” approach to health built around GPs & community services. Quick thread 🧵1 /8 miphealth.org.uk/home/news-c…
Much more in the interview, particularly on integrated care systems and leadership within the NHS. @MiPhealth @Jon_Restell 🧵8/ends miphealth.org.uk/home/news-c…
Point 2: McManus is praised by @NHSEngland
for improving management, & backs regulating NHS managers - as does Wes Streeting. But he says it must "support the drive for high-quality management and leadership, professionalising it," rather than being used to attack managers. 🧵5
I used to love Twitter's ability to present me with a thousand useful links. Now, the fact that I do this will mean that many of you won't see my post; just another reason to migrate. bsky.app/profile/mattrosswri…
This site has lost much of its value. I used to hear everyone's perspectives; now the conversation is dominated by the pub boor. I'm migrating, this account will be hibernating soon; find me at @mattrosswrites.bsky.social
In the wake of a punishing inflation shock, and with public services in a state of advanced collapse, few are fretting about the plight of senior public sector managers. But we should be paying attention. 🧵1/4 globalgovernmentforum.com/ah… via @globegov
My report for @globegov outlines the research, exploring an area of long-term underspending where the business case for investment is strong - but the politics are horrible.

“Humour is a coping mechanism — but also a cry for help”
An interview with me ahead of @edfringe @theSpaceUK. Why doctors laugh inappropriately, why we need a more humane and effective means of compensation after medical errors and why @UKLabour will be better for our health, albeit gradually.

“If you don’t have the right staff on a plane, it’s not allowed to leave the runway — but the NHS has to take off with a load of demented patients, half a wing missing and a hole in the fuselage every day,” @drphilhammond tells @MiPhealth
🧵 miphealth.org.uk/home/news-c…
Labour is making the right noises on public health, mental health and social care, says @drphilhammond, and must act quickly to boost morale: “Improving the offer to staff is the most fundamental thing. We’ve got to make the NHS a decent place to work.”
Read @drphilhammond's full interview with @MiPhealth for more on topics including infected blood, COVID, health regulation and the power of good management. 🧵 ends miphealth.org.uk/home/news-c…
