You get your car checked out on a regular basis. So what about you? One man in five dies before the age of 65. Together we can change that. Take your home MOT this Men’s Health Week. It’s time for your MOT: bit.ly/3mQGsig #MensHealthWeek

I think we owe a debt of gratitude to Mark for revealing the scale of the harm from ambulance delays. Hopefully it will lead to some action. He is probably persona non gratis at NHS England as a result.

Our local hospitals are significantly busier than they normally are at this time of year. You can support by choosing the right service when you need help.

NHS trusts can learn "vital" lessons from complaints made by patients, says @rachelpower222. But @CornwallFT, which has struggled with governance issues recently, has been badly mismanaging its complaints handling. hsj.co.uk/policy-and-regulat…

The Shrewsbury and Telford maternity scandal is, among other things, a complete failure of regulation and monitoring. CCGs, NHSE, CQC....where were they all?

I've done a lot of work on invited reviewsby royal colleges which often highlight patient safety concerns. Trusts sometimes fight tooth and nail to avoid releasing them, even without personal details. That raises questions about their culture & willingness to be held accountable.
