Elkeles @NHSConfed and @NHSProviders are just government stooges

they pretend to be independent oganisations and voices but are basically government assets

I was at the NHSConfed Expo and there was absolute delight in the room, understandably, about the spending review health commitments. Feels like a huge missed comms opportunity on the positive stuff, and in the absence of that, people are assuming a populist leaning.

A fantastic first day at #NHSConfed! It was great to be joined by OPCI and many other brilliant innovators at the Health Innovation Network stand. Sir Jim Mackey & @samanthallen.bsky.social delivered inspiring speeches on NHS reform and the vital role of collaboration in driving it forward.

Earlier this year, on behalf of @NHSConfed I spoke to senior NHS leaders with experience of forming NHS trust groups. I wrote a report (link to follow). Today @HSJnews published my summary of the findings. Are NHS trust groups NHS reform?

Forming a ‘group’ should not be the ‘default option’ for trusts
With clarity of purpose, forming a “group” with others trusts can benefit providers – but it should not be a default option just because it can be labelled as reform, says Paul Roberts.

"we really need to bring industrial action to a close"

Interesting choice of words from senior @NHSConfed leadership.

Glaring absence of mentioning this IA is a result of govt inaction & obstinance to come to table.

Also, TalkTV, really? 🤡 https://twitter.com/NHSConfed/status/1690035185281343488
