So should you

NHS Law and Practice

With over 100,000 laws in force, it’s a wonder there’s anything left we can do! The UK’s legal system is a complex layer cake—unlike the French, who actually simplify theirs.

God

An ancient Greek vase portrays Odysseus, a bearded man seated with a staff, surrounded by figures. The artwork, in striking orange and black, captures intricate patterns and timeless designs.

In July 2024 Wes Streeting expressed confidence in Amanda Pritchard, but after becoming Health Secretary, he removed her, replaced her with Sir Jim Mackey, and bypassed the public appointments procedure.

Something

A wooden gavel rests on a circular sound block against a gray background, symbolizing the gravity of legal proceedings, such as cases involving medical negligence within the NHS.

I drew up outside a semi, in a quiet suburban cul-de-sac. Neat streets, manicured lawns. The doorbell chimed.

The young couple sat, holding hands, exhausted.

So began my introduction to what happens when the NHS gets it wrong. Badly wrong.

Boss

Numerous 3D question marks in black with two highlighted: one glowing orange and the other glowing blue, amid the scattered arrangement, echo the uncertainty managers face daily.

Let’s start the week with a simple question: What do you do when your boss is wrong? Challenge authority, present facts, offer solutions, and choose battles wisely amid workplace dynamics.

Leadership

A cluster of yellow daffodils with orange centers bloom among green leaves.

The first daffodils of spring bloom quietly, thriving in the right conditions. Growth—whether in nature, business, or the economy—requires the same. Confidence, leadership, and smart policies fuel innovation and productivity.

Game

olled white towels rest on a soft blue blanket beside a glass bottle with a frangipani essential oil flower and various small lotion containers.

Frangipani essential oil, prized by perfume makers, costs $1500 per ounce. Labour’s claim of cutting NHS waiting lists by 160,000 is more opportunism than reality—progress began well before them.

Manage that

"Fake News" in bold red and white letters hovers over a digital blue globe background, resembling an impenetrable paywall between truth and misinformation.

Newspapers are struggling with readership decline, falling ad revenue, and circulation secrecy, turning to paywalls for survival. Yet, they still shape broadcasters’ coverage and breakfast show content.
