🚨Tees, Esk and Wear NHS Trust has been ordered to pay a total of £215,170 after pleading guilty to two charges of failing to provide safe care after a prosecution by the @CareQualityComm
Very proud to win this Press Award for the Times British Gas investigation, and to work somewhere that properly invests in investigative journalism. The judges said it was “classic investigative journalism” which “stood up for people who are often overlooked or marginalised”

Intriguing questions. I wholeheartedly agree that when you look at what has actually changed and which systemic issues have been exposed, it's harmed patients and bereaved families who have done the heavy lifting. Often against the system

In my experience it is determined families, supported by ethical journalists and campaigners who have made the biggest difference.
The heavy lifting is immense and the weight to carry is for always. It never leaves you.
@amotherwithout Trying to influence national change from an experience of grief and loss is hard because of the additional emotional toll it take - perhaps we need to a support network?
@ShaunLintern I think they need to refocus on core purpose of preventing harm to patients. A misunderstanding about a laptop or strong beliefs on climate change are hardly a threat to those you are treating.
Such a piece to be proud of @ShaunLintern and we were so grateful for it as it lifted our campaign & made the Govt listen. There are so many more families out there wanting to tell their #Valproatecrisis story.

I left @OUHospitals (Oxford) in 2006 because it was £50M in the hole and had frozen recruitment. Plus ca change.
At @OUHospitals a message to staff from the CEO makes clear some of the cuts needed there to control a £53m deficit 5/7
Thank you to @mjauk for inviting us to speak at the #MJASymposium this weekend. Special thanks to @ShaunLintern for superb hosting and excellent organisation from @Emmajourno & Sallie Robins. Fantastic to meet so many committed and tenacious journos and medics.
Whistleblowing assumptions. Interesting stuff from @WhistleUK based on their research with actual whistleblowers #mjasymposium
I suspect the ‘costs have risen, activity levels unchanged’ is less a drop in productivity, more staff doing less unpaid work. The bank of goodwill is empty.
If @GSTTnhs can't get control of an underlying £84m deficit it may need a loan from the NHS to cover costs. Info sent to staff below: 3/7
Yikes 🚨
🚨 ICYMI in yesterday's print Sunday Times - One of England's largest and high profile NHS trusts @GSTTnhs may need a bail out from @DHSCgovuk to cover day to day spending. It is part of a wider £4.5bn spending crisis sweeping the NHS 🧵 1/7
Lots of interesting economics playing out in this story.

@ShaunLintern He’s an excellent CEO & has a point. More of us need to say this because it’s true almost everywhere…NHS Providers/Confed must back him up. Now is a key time as the NHS will be an electoral battleground and people need to see which parties are prepared to rise to the challenge!
@ShaunLintern The social contract with the workforce was broken long before the banging of pots and pans ended. Just many more now acutely aware to what degree.
@ShaunLintern Still will lead to patients suffering. You need band 8 clinicians. And a lot of wards are run by bank staff.
@ShaunLintern If you save your old tea bags, dry them out and put tea tree or plans oil on them, you can put them between your plants and the cats should stay away because they don’t like the smell. You need to ‘top up’ the smell every so often.
One or two delightful fellow tweeters are apparently upset that I have too many rainbow, and too many trans ally mentions in my feed. Well, if you dont like it allow me to point you towards the exit. I dont owe you an argument. Pax et Bonum
She said yes! 💍 an amazing night that I couldn’t have done without help from @weheartldnblog and many others! Thank you so much!
@ShaunLintern Interesting that PIDA is framed around ‘wrongdoing’ - how do ‘unsafe conditions’ fit in with this? Eg concerns not necessarily around individual ‘wrongdoing’ but the raising of systemic safety concerns? 🤔
A radical plan to introduce units that have existed for 10 years in the majority of hospitals. Marvellous. Will next week's radical plan be to introduce penicillin to the NHS?
