In an effort to try and ‘show my work’ and keep it out in the open (and hopefully help people understand the role of a CCIO in a community trust) - I’m starting to try and keep ‘Weeknotes’ - a very short summary of my weekly comings and goings. Other people are using medium for these and using a template. Maybe we’ll get to that at some point for the moment I’m just ‘free-wheeling’ on these.

A lot of my work over the past 6 months has been as part of a team setting up Virtual Wards in Lincolnshire. This has been a collaborative effort across our system featuring input from our community, acute, mental health, primary care and care provider organisations. We’ve been successful in getting the frailty virtual ward up and running with small number (but big impact!) and colleagues have been successful with the cardiology virtual ward (which I can’t take much credit for!).
