So Twitter please do your stuff.
I’m desperate to find a GP successor for my great wee rural practice in Shetland. I’m retiring in April. We have advertised with no success so far. Please share widely

'Capital reprioritisation across Whitehall' to fund defence sounds ominous. We always raid capital spending rather than current spending to pay for stuff, and it's always a dumb idea.

What happens to ICBs if strategic authorities and mayors cover a different footprint? Swindon is the issue here - not part of Thames Valley ICB and looks more to the west. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cq74…

It feels like many more NHS trust board meetings have been rearranged/moved back this year than others - anyone know why that should be?

It's now nearly a year since @NHSEngland published any education quality assurance reports. They may be a snapshot at a single point in time but that point was quite long ago! (Still have not responded to my latest FoI requesting them)

Anyone else finding the BMJ website blocking access?

Someone must know who received this money. It seems to be related to an employment tribunal but we have been unable to trace it.
A reminder of the £1m settlement involving East of England Ambulance in 2024-25 in NHSE docs
This is a huge for the NHS. I wasn't able to pin down details last year but still very interested!
