Congratulations to @SivaAnandaciva too.
Director of Policy Sally Warren has announced she will be leaving The King’s Fund to start a new senior role at the Department for Health and Social Care. Read our statement here: kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and…
I was wondering about all of this.
🧵What do newly-elected MPs do to get set up in this first week in Parliament? The eagle-eyed among you may have seen new MPs receiving a white envelope from the Returning Officer after their victory was announced. Pictured is @YuanfenYang with hers. It contains a letter....1/

Can't move for discussions about the disproportionately of the result or the fragility of Labour's majority.
All true and important - but in terms of the next four years fairly trivial. The brutal reality of a large majority in the Commons is something to behold.

An important moment in our democracy with our next Prime Minister shaking hands with his arch political opponent, Elmo.

Thanks to our fantastic clinical fellows for running a learning event for all Faculty of Medical Leadership and Management - @FMLM_UK clinical fellows this week!
It was designed to explain more about our role and remit as a regulator, with a range of leaders from the GMC coming along to talk about the work of their teams.
We had lots of helpful feedback – one of our attendees said ‘I understand the processes and statutory role a lot better, which helps me with appreciating the GMC's role and work’. Great to meet you all!😊

I've been my Church's organist for about 15 years. I came back after a long illness and to my dismay an insufferable "child prodigy" had replaced me. She couldn't even reach the pedals. I changed the transpose settings to a random key and she got the offertory notes wrong.
Clinicians who engage with finance are my favourite kind.
In The Drum, you will also find Steph and Emily from @HFMA_UK, the professional body for finance staff working in healthcare. Come and pay them a visit!

Really good service today @uclh rheumatology @probert_david , a national specialist service for ehlers danlos syndrome that is a true exemplar of what thousands of people should be able to access across UK. I'm pleased to be in care of UCLH and hope service can be expanded.

ALT WE KEEP being told that Al is so clever that it's a potential threat to the existence of the human race and could wipe us all out. If that's the case, before it starts kicking off, why doesn't someone just ask one of these AI bots how to stop it if it does? Yet again it's left to the likes of me to come up with solutions to the world's woes because the boffins simply can't be bothered. Joe Smith, Exeter
Great to be at @CollegeOptomUK #DiplomaCeremony and see @Moorfields colleagues Mel and Parul receive Honorary Fellowships (with Jay introducing Parul).
When @edfenergy replace a meter in my flat, my billing is out by several £1000s and not in my favour. The advisor I spoke to was very helpful, so hoping it can be sorted. Last time it was because the installer recorded the initial reading incorrectly and I suspect the same now.
