Long thread coming up but I want to put my thoughts about #TheatreCapChallenge down in one last long rambling thread before I block everyone connected to it and move on

People die in theatre
Those deaths stem from errors
Those errors happen because of poor communication.
poor communication occurs through not knowing names
THEREFORE....

If we knew the names of the staff....
Communication will improve
Errors will reduce
Lives will be saved.
IF...
A hat with a name on is an example of knowing someone’s name
THEREFORE
WEARING A HAT WILL SAVE LIVES

Like a collection of deleted tweets before a politically sensitive royal college election, no ones going to read this either, it’s #NHSthisweek!

Horror at awards ceremony as privately funded conference gives award to man who sits on organising committee for his services to patient safety and we all lose our shit about it.
It’s as if no one looked at the programme and saw Jeremy’s name on the list of speakers and thought, “gee there’s a safety prize, do you think theyll give it to the #iminworkjeremy guy instead?”
Like a prescription written on a poorly functioning and not very user friendly e-prescribing system, it’s #NHSthisweek !
This week, how the Dr/first name debate will probably rage on twitter

Like a monopoly board with no good spaces for anything good to come through, it’s #NHSthisweek!
This week, a special how-to guide.

Say you’ve had a great idea, perhaps you think we should make Medical professionals with several degrees and a wealth of experience conduct ward rounds in baseball hats to stop interruptions, neatly ignoring the tenacity of most ICU nurses?
Or perhaps you think the way to promote the genuinely good idea of getting elderly patient out of bed and dressed is to fill your kardex with ideas for prescribed exercises, so that there’s no space for actual drugs?
Like a blog you’ve thrown together at the last minute to maintain you’re public profile, it’s #NHSthisweek :
Protests against the GMC continue, including one suggestion to rip up GMC registration certificates outside their London offices. On a Saturday.
Which leads to the philosophical question, if a man rips up a certificate and no ones there to see it (cos it’s a Saturday) does it make or sound, or even an impact?
It’s Saturday, it’s poorly written, it’s #NHSthisweek:
The health secretary hailed Microsoft Excel with the cells shaded in a threatening red colour as “great technology”
Meanwhile, here at BAM! we too devised a new way of using technology to see the state of the health service in your region 
It’s Saturday it’s #NHSthisweek on twitter:
64 emergency medicine doctors write to the PM over the #nhscrisis, meaning 64 bed managers will be angrily demanding to know why the PM hasn’t accepted the referral in 4 hours time...
Meanwhile 64 med regs have been told that they need to chase the result of the letter
