Folks often fail to recognize that personal health can be gained at the expense of wellness. As industrialized societies have come to idolize individual health they have placed greater emphasis on life style choices and self care and less on shared space and belonging. 1/2

The movement led by #caregivers & #patients in Canada to make the care in healthcare a verb, not a noun, not a place, not a system is not a fad, not the healthcare model du’jour. We’re starting a #healthcare movement in this country that there is no going back from.

When it comes to Twitter, our people are the voice of our organisations. Our data shows NHS people are often 10x more influential on Twitter than corporate accounts. Make your people your social media champions rather than restrict their use of it at work. #100RepeatTweets no.59

Health is not a medical issue, it’s a social & political issue. If we want 2 enhance health & wellbeing we need 2 relocate authority from the institutional world of programmes & services to living communities where interdependence is found.
