Description

 70 years of continuity

How often does that happen in the modern age?

Or ever really?

 You don’t need me to tell you it has been the most extraordinary week, so I wanted to take a bit of time to put a marker in the sand, before it too slips away. 

Going off piste from my normal theme of healthcare improvement, to share a few thoughts about the death of the Queen, my Mum, the war, and how it has all affected me personally.

I hope it resonates with you – I would love to hear what your own thoughts and experiences have been, particularly perhaps how these might be different for people of different age groups.

• Rest in peace, Your Majesty. You have done more than anyone could have expected of you
• I will raise a glass of Prosecco to you and my Mum – you both deserve it!
• I hope Mum and the Queen are raising a glass of Prosecco together now -  #NoHierarchyJustPeople
• It's important to learn about our past so that we don't keep repeating the same mistakes
• Value older people and all the wisdom and experience they have to share
• Look out for the delayed social media coverage of our #MatExp Whose Shoes workshop in Oxford
• Keep calm and carry on – and think how we can each follow the Queen's extraordinary example
