Great to hear about MFT implementation of EPIC. Lessons learned: 1. Board level ownership 2. Peer to peer delivered training 3. Early archive data migration 4. Rapid fixing of key issues 5. Solid governance oversight 6. Comm'd as a transformation programme, not an IT programme

As ever, a great summary of the dual problems of pay erosion and workplace culture

I really enjoyed speaking with NEJM Catalyst about behavioural nudges - particularly in relation to our Epic EHR implementation programme Guy's and St Thomas' & King's College NHS. How can we encourage clinicians to get the most out of an EHR without even noticing? #digitalhealth

Important to understand this properly: social determinants of health (food security, healthcare access etc) can help explain racial health inequalities, rather than biological effects of race. And disparities in SDoH often the result of structural racism thelancet.com/journals/lanpu…

Lovely weekend to be on call Guy's and St Thomas' - but with 6 transplants over the week and a 7th in theatre now with Rhana H Zakri and Hannah Maple (pancreas-kidney) it’s been a great reminder of what it’s all about!

With doctors striking in desperation the NHS becomes an emergency-only service. Sadly this is exactly what the government wants. The evidence is clear that tax-funded universal health care is the best way of providing health care in a civilised society. Draw your own conclusion.

There's just 4⃣0⃣ days to go until Epic, our new electronic health record system, launches on 5 October. 🚀 Epic will transform the way we deliver care and empower our patients to get more involved in decisions about their health. #ReadyForEpic #TeamGSTT

Just hours to go until the launch of our new #Epic EHR across Guy's and St Thomas', King's College NHS & Synnovis. Years of work coming to a head - and the true transformation is yet to come!@cormbreen Jack Barker

And we’re off! The largest single Epic go-live ever :)

A common question: what can we, in health care, do about the social determinants of health. The answer in this report: a great deal. Health care organisations can be active partners to act on social determinants to prevent illness and reduce inequalities.

Day 11 of our #Epic go-live across Guy's and St Thomas', King's College NHS and Synnovis. I’m so proud to be part of a team that has achieved so much already - and still lots to do!

Superb data visualisation of NHS data by POLITICO. Lowest number of doctors per 100k people of any European country, a huge investment gap, second lowest beds to population ratio, and morale in the toilet. Strikes are a symptom - not the cause. ~AA politico.eu/article/uk-nhs…
