Important new role in the #UserCentredDesign job family: #accessibility specialist

Well done to all involved in getting this added to the framework. Highly relevant to #NHS organisations too
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/accessibility-specialist

Thoroughly recommend #NHS colleagues to consider the leadership academy's #BevanProgramme. I did it in 2019-20 and apply something I learned there every working day. Applications open now

Good stuff from Ian here, getting out of the building to see how digital services work for #NHS staff in communities. Agree on the need to not impose "hospital" language and assumptions when the care is given in people's homes

We're working on #NHS England's urgent and emergency care strategy, and want to hear as many views as possible:

In lieu of #weeknotes, I present my reflections after 5 years doing digital and user-centred design in the #NHS national organisations

When you use #NHS 111 online or over the phone, the Directory of Services helps route you to the right care, any time of day or night, anywhere in England. Could you be its new service owner? https://www.jobs.nhs.uk/xi/vacancy/917248729

In 5 years I've changed jobs twice and organisation once, to get closer to a vision of a strategic capability for the whole #NHS — making visible what’s valuable, and supporting creative leaps to deliver better service

Friday night in with Top of the Pops 1992 and spouse doing battle with an online form from a local #NHS trust. The guidance is all here, people, please use it https://service-manual.nhs.uk/content/how-to-write-good-questions-for-forms

Arriving in Manchester for another urgent and emergency care visit with #NHS England colleagues #GetOutOfTheBuilding

Better use of data is one of our themes for digital in #NHS urgent and emergency care - giving information back to the people who plan and deliver care, so they can continuously improve together with patients and communities

3 years ago at #duec2019, full of hope for new ways of addressing the intractable issues of #NHS urgent and emergency care

Great work by the #NHS service manual team, and partners, on this new standard designed for any organisation that produces health and care information

Really looking forward to joining today's #NHS England #StartWithPeople virtual conference. There's so much that user-centred design professionals can learn by collaborating with the engagement and participation movement in health and care
