Some comments: BBC HSJ I’m afraid that this will make very little difference to the provision of NHS care.

This feature is usually short and to the point designed to make the readers (and me) think as we start our working week. This week it’s longer, a piece written by Sterling Hayden. I have this printed and hanging on my study wall. It has always resonated with me and I hope it will withContinue reading “The Monday Morning Quote #46 The Years Thunder By……”
10 Things I Know About Great Work by Michael Bungay-Stanier
A recent email from Michael Bungay-Stanier regarding his “Find Your Great Work” project. If you aren’t familiar with this do have a look at Michael’s websites. 1.

Roz Savage – Ocean Rower – “I Am What I Am”
I became aware of Roz Savage about 12 months ago. To describe her as an adventurer hardly does her justice. In 2005 she left her job as a management consultant and started a new life by rowing across the Atlantic. She has followed that by starting a row across the Pacific and last year sheContinue reading “Roz Savage – Ocean Rower – “I Am What I Am””
Why is the NHS so?
I have an eye infection, I became a ware that the upper lid of my left eye was swollen on Monday evening.

W.H.S. – Bring back choice.
I have a soft spot for W.H.Smith & Son, they were my father’s first employers and he worked for them from 1938 through until 1953. Had he not he would not have moved from South Wales to Gloucester, would not have visited his boss, a man with the improbable name of Arthur Austritch, and wouldContinue reading “W.H.S. – Bring back choice.”

Now in its sixth edition this slim volume by Ronnie Levine and Catherine Stillman-Lowe was released during the last couple of months. Described as “an essential document for all those involved in providing oral health education to the public” I cannot praise it enough.
