So much sympathy. I’ve been living in the UK for 9 yrs and have the reverse issue. My kids only understand Celsius- I apparently only know how to dress them and me in Fahrenheit.

After months of engaging with our stroke community to understand what mattered, we’ve developed a practical, but ambitious plan to grow research capacity, embed lived experience, and accelerate the journey from discovery to delivery. read it here: www.stroke.org.uk/research/our...

As always, excellent work - these stats are always incredibly helpful in a myriad of conversations! Many thanks to you and your team!

We were lucky enough to have our YouGov/The Economist poll in field when the US bombed Iranian nuclear facilities. You can see the partisan realignment in real time

Maps where you’d rather not be the red country- WHO data shows the UK has high premature mortality, especially in CVD. Hanne Christensen flags that where countries spend more money on stroke care, they have better outcomes - and that advocacy for stroke is key. #ESOC2025

I had a sneak peek at some data which is being published by Meta today, showing that Britain is less divided by class than you might expect: www.economist.com/britain/2025...

Trying to divine the govt's overal delivery philsophy for health seems rather tough at the moment. Is it a) command and control, b) neighbourhood health, c) ICS-devo, d) 10yr plan, e) wider health mission, f) etc. Anyone actually know and how this coherntly ties together?

Adding a few other links that i think are helpful: 1. www.civilserviceworld.com/professions/... - good summary of a potential period for job cuts - looking to be between April - October; 2. How was the news communicated and what could be driving it: www.politicshome.com/news/article...

As we're all trying to read the tea leaves of health policy in the month ahead, an EXCELLENT analysis from Siva Andaciva at King's Fund to help- well worth the read: www.kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-...

The complexity of the health system requires collaboration, strong relationships and so much goodwill to overcome some huge barriers that exist to better patient outcomes. How this announcement has unfolded will not have helped. 3/3

Their portrayal as ‘bureaucratic, ineffective paper pushers’ is unjust. Putting aside the wisdom of the decision to abolish NHSE - there are many points still to debate and there is so much detail to work through - today’s comms has been horrific. 2/

Brilliant statement by @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social, starting with recognizing the human cost associated with abolishing NHSE. I know so many brilliant and dedicated NHSE staff who work tirelessly for patient safety and improved outcomes 1/

It's a busy day for #NHS news! We've been responding. 👇 The Prime Minister announced that #NHSE is to be abolished. The government should be careful that this doesn’t lead to even more top-down micro-management of local services from Whitehall. www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/nh...

Fantastic session from our diversity in clinical trials event. Keywords for chair Jacob Lant are co-production, authenticity, trust. They help more diverse communities take part in clinical trials. @amrc-uk.bsky.social @nationalvoices.bsky.social @nras-uk.bsky.social @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social
