ThreeOfUsJust saw this in a job advert:
“This requires considerable concentration for prolonged periods of time at least twice a week and leads to emotional strain and pressure associated with a high workload volume and engagement as a regular feature of the role”.
The whole job ad is a masterclass in how not to run a #recruitment campaign.
This #NHS organisation is terribly broken. Wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole.

It's time to take the fight to Palantir.
Miguel Afonso Caetano"NHS England has granted external staff from companies including Palantir “unlimited access” to identifiable patient data while working on a part of its flagship data platform.
The change, first outlined in an internal briefing note seen by the FT, relates to the National Data Integration Tenant, described as a “safe haven for data” before it is “pseudonymised” and transferred to other systems.
The NDIT is an area within the Federated Data Platform, a tool that connects disparate NHS data into a single system, which Palantir won a £330mn contract in 2023 to build.
Under the plan, NHS England has agreed to create an “admin” role, which the briefing acknowledges “permits unlimited access to non-NHSE staff” to the NDIT and the identifiable patient information held within it.
As well as Palantir employees, this could include staff from consultancy firms who have been drafted in to work on the FDP.
The change marks a significant departure from the current practice, which requires any individual working with the NDIT to apply for clear data access for specific data sets."

Hussein Al-alakDuring the Covid pandemic, hygiene was viewed as a global priority but how are bubbles rooted in world history? In Turkey, one of the largest producers of handmade olive oil soap is turning out nearly 8 million bars a year!
Following centuries-old methods and a few simple ingredients, workers produce olive oil soap which is sold globally. It follows a regional tradition, which dates back to Ancient Babylon and Ancient Egypt.
How Olive Oil Soap Is Still Made By Hand In Turkey
When the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was established after World War Two, it was 'created to decide what kind of society we wanted to build.'
As UNESCO states, planning for such a body began in early 1942, with global leaders imagining an organization that would use education, culture, science and information to build lasting peace.

Wes Streeting Resigns as Health Secretary Citing Lack of Leadership in Labour Party
Wes Streeting has resigned from his role as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, expressing a loss of confidence in the leadership of Sir Keir Starmer. In his resignation letter, Streeting highlighted that, despite the Prime Minister's personal qualities and international statesmanship, there is a lack of clear vision and direction within the Labour Party. He detailed the progress made under his tenure, including a reduction in NHS waiting lists by 110,000 in March, improved ambulance response times for heart attacks and strokes, increased A&E performance, recruitment of 2,000 additional GPs, and early achievement of the target to recruit 8,500 mental health staff. Streeting also emphasised financial responsibility, noting that NHS productivity surpassed the 2% target. However, he pointed to the unprecedented election results and the rise of nationalist parties across the UK as evidence of Labour's challenges. He criticised certain policy decisions and communication missteps, noting that the party's identity and values are unclear to the public. Stressing the need for a broad debate and bold vision, Streeting concluded that stepping down was the honourable course of action. He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve and praised the leadership within the Department of Health and Social Care and NHS staff.
