Weeknotes s01e18

Week commencing Monday 27 February

Episodes 14 through 16 will have to go down as “lost episodes”, like older series of Doctor Who. Episode 17 I was off from NHS Beta. I did a quick general week ending note between 16 and 17 though.

Weeknotes s01e13

Week commencing Monday 23 January

Monday

London: Assessor training at GDS.

Chuffed to be able to do this, and thankful for the nudges. Wish I’d done it sooner. No real reason why other than had my…

Weeknotes s01e12

Friday, again. Time to peer through my week’s notes and pull out the NHS beta stuff.

Monday: I was in Leeds, and spent most of the day watching user research sessions in Londson remotely. We’re looking into user needs for sexual healthy services. We listened to people talk…

Weeknotes s01e11

Week two of 2017 is done and dusted, and it’s late on a Friday night as I type this. I can hear the bells of the church in Idle chime away eleven times. It’s been another jam-packed week.

I think I have just about — right now — got a prototype together that works, to show…

Weeknotes s01e08, s01e09, and s01e10

Sorry about the break since the last weeknotes. Think of this like you’ve had a holiday away from it all, you’ve left the generic digital TV recording box to collect the episodes of something while you’re away and there’s a little bit of catching up to do. Just…

Weeknotes s01e07

No weeknotes last week mainly because, to be honest, I couldn’t be arsed. My personal weeknotes that these are usually culled from were a little bit grumbly about work at the end of that week — and I don’t think we should air our dirty laundry in public. I just wanted a weekend off and away from…

Weeknotes s01e05

A bit of tick-tocking-along week in the day job. Nothing really to report. Stuff is happening. Most of the more eye-catching stuff day job stuff involved the mothership. Most of the more mind catching stuff for me happened outside of the day job — and these notes ain’t about that.

Weeknotes s01e04

Amongst pressing on with the primary focus in Leeds (a little more on that further down), it’s been a week about stitching bits together, seeing clearly how the collective NHS.UK beta work fits (and doesn’t fit), what needs doing yet, and working to make sure we know what is missing can “be filled…

Weeknotes s01e03

At the end of last week I noted that work was full on. It’s a week on from those notes, a long week on. But it’s been a rewarding week, adding up to a rich fortnight.

We started the week with Dean joining us, bringing the Leeds posse its first content designer. We’ve a…

Weeknotes s01e02

Once my first post for the NHS.UK Transformation blog was up (a quick recap of the EHI Live session I was on) it was full into a week of pretty much full time, full on designing this week. I am trying this sprint to get us from next to nothing tangible (other than a hypothesis) to some sort of…
