Chuffed to be on this list of LGIU's top 25 thinkers in local government with others I admire hugely for their ability to drive change for & with citizens. Together we can pull the plug out of the tepid bath of managed public service decline ⁦@LGiU⁩ lgiu.org/publication/lgius-t…

2028 is too long to wait for social care reform. It’s on its knees. The national insurance increase = the last straw for many outsourced services. This announcement fails to mention the biggest issue: paying workers a decent salary like NHS care assistants bbc.com/news/articles/c791gy…

People talk a good game about supporting social care workers. @Sacha_Lord actually does something. Great NYE had by @poss_Abilities staff at @WHP_Mcr because of free tickets sent by Sacha. Done more for social care than the other 784 Lords put together #socialcare #livingwage

We knew that slogans and promises of a brighter future wouldn’t help our staff through a difficult Christmas. That’s why we gave nearly 600 of them a £1000 gift voucher. This is what it means to them #possabilities #christmas #socialcare #gift @RachelLaw2014

An experienced care worker gets £1 per hour less than a newly recruited NHS healthcare assistant. We have to address the issue of pay urgently as we face a system wide crisis not just a care crisis. We pay carers < checkout staff ⁦😔 @RachelLaw2014⁩ apple.news/AclqtfA0FRlCJ4IQz…

To all #radiologists. Have you seen the typical #COVID pulmonary vasculopathy on CXR/CT in the last week? We've not seen this since omicron became dominant Feb '22. I'm concerned we have a new variant which causes the same clotting in the lungs as delta/pre-delta. Please retweet

Rachel Law @poss_Abilities says that at least some of the new ideas needed in social care are to be found close to home if we take a more informal and exploratory approach with providers. bit.ly/3qLBaqx #localgov
We’ve got the finances and know how to invest in apartments for people with learning disabilities. Local authorities please talk to us!!!!! #socialcare #ownfrontdoor #learningdisabilities
