This place is becoming a bit of a cesspit, it's a fish rotting from the head. I'm on LinkedIn and going to give Threads a go. Give me a follow if you are on there. linktr.ee/darrenmckenna

Great 2 way session by our regional GNCR team at @DHSummerSchools #DHSS24 Sharing and also learning from other regions in the room...

Loads of exciting things in the King's Speech today, but this one particularly caught my eye. Hopefully it will mean an end to the lack of parity of esteem and funding we've seen lately. (On the digital front, only funding acute EPRs to use the NHS app is a stark example)

According to @SkyNews, @DarrenPJones is the first "Darren" to be elected as an MP. A victory for Darren's everywhere 😂

Congratulations @ChiOnwurah Great to see a number of NHS colleagues too and particularly touching to see the late Glenn Winteringham on the list.

If this is true it's unbelievable, being handed a contract for cyber security whilst withholding details of being hacked. Hope the @ICOnews take this into account. When are we going to stop handing gov contracts to dishonest firms? theguardian.com/technology/a…

The more we digitise the more we need to invest in cyber security. It's not an optional extra or a nice to have. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cglv…

Go team @GreatNorthCare! Sharing and learning with colleagues at #sharedcarerecord summit in Birmingham.

Just read through the NHSE 24/25 priorities and operational planning guidance. Some good digital/data stuff in there but feels like a lot of planning this fin year but no new funding until 25/26... linkedin.com/posts/darren-mc…

Horrendous delays on the East Coast mainline on the way back from #rewired. Big thanks to the @CrossCountryUK train crew who have been brilliant despite a difficult and very long day for them.

Great #rewired session on the NHS app and an opportunity to play @CompareSoftware bingo ✅ Stamps ✅ Consent ✅ Research Looking forward to wayfinder funding for Mental Health next year #parityofesteem #parityoffunding

Thanks to @tickettailor Used their fab software to ticket our not for profit #DigitalMH24 conference. Reliable, well thought out, flexible and a joy to use. Genuinely impressed and appreciate it being free to use. NHS suppliers could learn a thing or two from you....

Geraldine Strathdee talking about the importance of data in the impatient rapid review. Can we use data better as an early warning? #DigitalMH24 gov.uk/government/publicatio…
