Facing Death

My friend, Lucy Watts, is dying. She knows that her beautiful life will be cut short by the condition which she lives with.

Humility Goes a Long Way in Building Great Teams

I am a massive advocate of a Culture of Joy! I really enjoyed listening to the lovely Yusuf Yousef at TEDxNHS 2019 and his incredible ability to build relationships, cross barriers and connect people together. This is exactly what we need more of in the NHS and across our public services.
