Fantastic national #NHS webinar this evening on CYP MH and Primary Care Integration. Brilliant examples of innovative practice for YP, also #socialprescribing as the medical model is not always the best route. Thank you @NHSEngland will definitely explore further…..
Val Baxter retweeted
Delighted to see this as a common thread running through this morning’s @EveryChildNENC #CYPInequalities event; want to know how best to engage YP in your service? Develop your offer with them 🤗

There’s a tendency to think that staff can transform the NHS while still doing their day job.
This isn’t correct we need to create the opportunity & the space to look up & work with the public.

We are delighted to announce our first #NHS 'Marmot Trust' with @NHS_ELFT using the Marmot Review principles and framework to test what an #NHS Trust can do to tackle some of the drivers of poor health, such as poverty and unemployment #BuildBackFairer

Absolutely true! @Grangemillers – at Kendal, England
When I think back over my 40 year career, the best, most impactful times were when I had a boss who understood me & who believed in me. Maybe as leaders, we should all aspire to be that boss that others remember. Sketchnote by @anujmagazine based on a tweet by @ValaAfshar

I don’t think our Govt has a clue about what this cost of living crisis means for most people.

Announcement today of 75 areas (covers 50% of English LAs) to receive Best Start for Life funding will build on existing centres (such as the 3000 Sure Starts in England) but will put baby’s needs at the heart - joining up all support services to give best start @first1001days

Sure Start was in my thoughts along with training like Solihull, Baby Brain and Brazelten and all the great stuff @Rebeccacalvert6 is delivering.However over worked Social works are unable to deliver .

This week is International Adolescent Health Week. Such an important age that often gets overlooked in both childrens and adult services. But getting things right here can impact across the lifespan #iahw2022
This week is International Adolescent Health Week! Good health for young people forms the bedrock for good health in later life and understanding and working with young people within the health and social care system is vital. #IAHW2022

Had my eyes opened this morning hearing how far the #PaediatricPalliativeCare net reaches and what needs to be done to fill the gap with #Transition
Thank you @BurdettNetwork

This is why it’s sooo important that we are more vocal about what we do and develop the appropriate skills and tools to be able to evidence the value. No wheel reinventing needed @jacqscrace1 @theQNI @CypRcn #ccnsroar
This also applies to CCN teams when talking about introducing hospital at home teams. Don't add another service and encourage fragmented care, strengthen the already highly skilled Children's Community Nursing Teams @BecksBDaniels @KathEvans2 @CareCcn @sianhooban
