Thanks for following me on Twitter<\/a>. I generally, but not exclusively, tweet about healthcare ICT, management and innovation in the UK.<\/p>\n

If you don’t already know, I am an analyst and writer on healthcare IT and management, particularly in the NHS. Elsewhere on this site you can find a longer biography<\/a>; my contact details<\/a>; and a selection of my articles on healthcare ICT<\/a>, healthcare management<\/a>, government ICT<\/a>, computing<\/a> and other subjects<\/a> – and many of these are mapped on the site’s homepage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This site is also the home of my blog<\/a> (on various subject, including the Cotswolds<\/a> where I live, healthcare<\/a>, IT<\/a> and mapping<\/a>) – links to latest posts (on subjects including stroke care in the south west<\/a> and, slightly less on-topic, roads that go through Chipping Norton<\/a>) and tweets are also at the bottom of every page. You can sign up for notifications by email below.<\/p>\n

\"Seagull\"<\/a>
A bird, although one that goes awk rather than tweet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Until recently, I worked as an editor for Guardian News & Media’s Professional Networks<\/a>. My former colleagues produce weekly emails, and offer discounts and other benefits, to those joining the networks. To join Guardian Healthcare Network, here<\/a> and Guardian Social Care Network, here<\/a>. If you’re looking to contact these networks with ideas for articles or anything else, use either healthcare@guardian.co.uk<\/a> and socialcare@guardian.co.uk<\/a>.\u00a0Each goes to everyone involved in that network. Or follow them on Twitter @GdnHealthcare<\/a> and @GdnSocialCare<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And if you’ve come across this post by accident and haven’t actually followed me on Twitter… I’m @samathieson.<\/a><\/p>\n
