2 brilliant weeks of holiday in Finland and Russia. On Monday, back to work!
This book is making me think differently about the connections between the health of our democracy and the health of the people we serve
Nervous States: How Feeling Took Over the World by William Davies
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40050892-nervous-states < recommended reading for colleagues in the NHS, a service that can only succeed at the intersection between facts and feeling

Thrilled we can announce a new £250m AI Lab in #NHSX!
We will be transforming some of our community’s best efforts to improve health and care, using applied AI.

I'm privileged to have met and worked with some of them. They're engaging with some of society's most intractable issues, and collectively driving forward the whole field of design
Lovely to see so many brilliant women of social design celebrated in Audree's book #ADayIsNotEnough

The Internet that wasn’t
Great article from Wendy M. Grossman on the long history of the various ‘ills’ that afflict the Internet.
As someone who first got online in 1989, and was on both CIX and Usenet in the early 90s, I can remember a lot of the events she describes… https://www.pelicancrossing.net/netwars/2019/07/the_internet_that_wasnt.html
Got my rainbow lanyard thanks to our brilliant NHS Digital LGBT and Allies staff network. Pledging to be a more visible ally myself.
Thank you Sigma UK! Fully captioned video of my #CampDigital talk on user-centred design and the experience of care https://youtu.be/x5iQ9DoFusU

Design, Diversity and Tech: How to use your power
https://www.strategicreading.uk/2019/07/design-diversity-and-tech-how-to-use-your-power/
Everyone has a role in making their service accessible and inclusive, so we've published guidance for all the main roles on a digital team: product/delivery, user research, content, design, development, and testing #nhs #a11y https://beta.nhs.uk/service-manual/accessibility

I'm thrilled to be joining @NHSX@twitter.com as acting CTO.
We have a lot of work to do to get our systems talking to each other (standards and APIs) and get patient info to where they need it most (user needs).
I'm joining a brilliant team and can't wait to get stuck in!

In the meantime, we're keen to hear from anyone with an interest in what, if anything, should replace the CUI
We plan to keep some data formats that are still relevant but to separate them from out-of-date assumptions about presentation
Unfortunately, the CUI has not changed with the times. Its content has not been updated since the closure of NHS Connecting for Health in 2013 and is now hosted by the National Archives
