Lisa's blog

11 August 2008

Last week was not a normal week, and my blog will be pretty short as a result. My husband had a heart attack on Sunday and was in hospital until Thursday. He is now at home taking copious quantities of pills, sticking nicotine patches on his arm, feeling weak, but starting to visibly recover. The NHS were (as usual) fabulous, from the paramedics through to the ward staff.

I did come in and out of work, but was slightly distracted. We had a really good joint management team meeting with adult social care. I was there for the first couple of hours when we talked about the transformation programme in adults and the cross-overs and learning we can do with childrens services. The overhauling we are both engaged on with our customer service strategies is a key piece of work and it is crucial that we develop consistent approaches.

I am off on my holiday from Thursday this week, so will resume the blog when I get back at the beginning of September.

Take care all - and if you smoke, stop it now!
