There is no real organisation to this page, these are just pages or blogs I enjoy and find rewarding and, if you don’t already know them, think you may too………
Directly health related:
nhs networks The whole site is worth a look but the blog is the most fun
a better nhs Perhaps the most thought-provoking and often moving health care blog around
nhs managers Home to the inimitable Roy LIlley
Human values in health care forum and Think about health Two interesting and thoughtful groups who run particularly worthwhile conferences
Patient Voices This is how the site itself introduces itself (and it lives up to it): it ‘aims to facilitate the telling and the hearing of some of the unwritten and unspoken stories of ordinary people so that those who devise and implement strategy in health and social care, as well as the professionals and clinicians directly involved in care, may carry out their duties in a more informed and compassionate manner’
Altogether Better Interesting model of citizen involvement, including some useful resources, such as this work on asset based community development
Vanguard in health. Great blog from members of John Seddon’s consultancy Vanguard.
GP Access Again the whole site is worthwhile but Harry Longmans blog is often the best bit: Harry Longman’s blog
Thinking more widely:
RSA This is just such a gold mine, the RSA offers 150 free events every year and this site gives podcasts of all of them, Just brilliant.
OSCA A consultancy working ot increase social impact – with some seriously interesting blogs
Metis Another thoughtful blog, from a generic management perspective
Ken Robinson and creativity Now seen by millions, but not acted upon in education for health care professionals
Brain pickings A weekly feast of thoughtful literary pickings iwth a mindfulness bent
