Welcome to my first “feature week” on radiographerben!
You should all know by now the things I tweet about (The NHS, Dementia, Assisted Dying/Suicide, End of Life Care etc) so this week I decided to introduce a theme to provide a focus for my tweets – that being “#NHSWEEK.” This gave me the opportunity to share with you various websites, articles, documents etc that hopefully helped introduce you to some facts about the NHS that you didn’t know. So instead of 1 #TOTW, this week you get 6 for the price of 1:
1. Check out this amazing resource from @NuffieldTrust on the timeline of the #NHS from 1942 to the present day #NHSWEEK http://nhstimeline.nuffieldtrust.org.uk
2. Check out this short video and read about the changes to how the #NHS is run since April 2015 #NHSWEEK @TheKingsFund http://www.kingsfund.org.uk/projects/nhs-65/alternative-guide-new-nhs-england …
3. *VIDEO* (<2mins) UK’s newest hospital set to open later in Glasgow #DeathStar #NHSWEEK @bbchealth http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-32477073 …
4. Have you ever heard of the #NHSConstitution? Do you know what it says? Click on this link to check it out #NHSWEEK https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/170656/NHS_Constitution.pdf …
5. Do you know who @CareQualityComm are? What they do? If not, checkout this short animation #CQC #NHSWEEK http://www.cqc.org.uk/content/who-we-are …
6. Article from @Independent on next phase of reforms to way #NHS care to be provided #MCPs #PACs #NHSWEEK @NHSEngland http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/nhs-chief-unveils-29-vanguard-areas-in-his-new-reforms-10099148.html …
I hope that you managed to check out at least 1 or more of these during the week, but I thought it would be a good idea to collate them all here so that you can more easily see the topics that I covered, hopefully giving you a taste of the NHS and the massive organisation that it is. I had, and still have no intention to tweet about the politics of the NHS. That is not really what my blogging is about (on the whole!)
I certainly enjoyed putting together this new feature and the tweets therein, and I very much hope that those of you that take the time and make the effort to read my tweets and/or blog have also taken at least some pleasure from so doing!
Thank you, as always and I hope you enjoy the week ahead…”#SoRWEEK”
That’s all folks!
