On this #InternationalDayfortheEradicationofPoverty, my new blog asks about the poverties we do not measure: of relationship, belonging, time, attention and care.
Perhaps #poverty is larger than we imagine. #EndPoverty #UNPovertyDay

Perhaps the greatest act of #confidence is admitting we don't know. In #care, in leadership and in life, #uncertainty can be a source of #wisdom rather than weakness. My new blog: The Wisdom of Not Knowing. #WorldMentalHealthDay

My latest #podcast explores a simple but important question:
What if the lives that matter most are often those that never make the headlines?
A conversation about #dignity, #ageing, ordinary lives and the stories we choose to value. #IDOP2026 open.spotify.com/episode/6kk…

In a culture that celebrates visibility, success and influence, perhaps we need to recover a simpler truth: a life does not have to be extraordinary to matter. #IDOP26 #InternationalDayofOlderPersons. scottishcare.org/news/in-def…

Tonight I light this week’s #candleforcare with a focus on the #mentalhealth needs of those who are #older not least those living with life long and enduring mental health conditions. #WorldMentalHealthDay

Join me tonight at 7 pm in lighting this week’s #candleforcare a few days out from #WorldMentalHealthDay. The #mentalhealth and well-being of our #older citizens is often not sufficiently prioritised.

The purpose of #infection prevention is not simply to prevent #disease. It is to create the conditions in which people can flourish. My latest blog considers the new @scotgov Strategy. @AConstance23 #humanrughts #socialcare #health.

#Safety matters. So do relationships, autonomy and personhood. We need an approach to #infection prevention that protects both life and what makes life worth living. Listen to my latest #podcast explore issues of #humanrights and #disease prevention.
