Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board’s Post

Not really all that surprising. Reminiscent of the DellaVigna & Pope RES 2018 results. Good though to have this additional evidence. Inaccurate forecasting of a randomized controlled trial "Those who declare themselves expert in the area relevant to the intervention are particularly resistant to new information that the treatment is ineffective. We interpret our results as suggesting that we should exercise caution when undertaking expert forecasting, since experts may have unrealistic expectations and may be inflexible in altering these even when provided new information." https://lnkd.in/gVHeWekN

**Welsh post separate due to character limitations. Many of you will now be aware that I’ll be leaving the role in the link below shortly after the Urdd National Eisteddfod in May. Working for the Urdd, in such a key role, as an organisation that gives so many opportunities for the children and young people of Wales has been a huge privilege. So many things have happened in the last 5 years, with the Covid pandemic thrown into the mix just in case there wasn’t enough of a challenge 😊. The Urdd has (among lots of other things): - Put on Eisteddfod T twice during Covid (a virtual culture event to replace the usual format). - Returned to the usual Eisteddfod format from 2022. - Celebrated its 100 years. - Welcomed refugees from Afghanistan and Ukraine - Provided countless opportunities for children and young people through its sports and community clubs and events and residential centres. In this almost 5 years in IT, we have (among others!): - Migrated key data systems to modern, scalable platforms, - Embraced the modern workplace for almost zero-touch deployment and management of end-user devices - (Partly with Covid’s help) quickly moved all of our internal systems fully into the Microsoft 365 environment. - Looked to provide timely support as and when required to a very diverse set of stakeholders from internal staff, school staff to parents/guardians and Young people and many of our external partners. I’ll be the first to admit that it hasn’t all been plain sailing, and there have been bumps in the road, but I believe a strong foundation is in place to take advantage of current trends in technology as well as what’s coming further down the road. The Urdd is a unique organisation, and no post of this kind would be complete without mentioning the staff who work tirelessly every day to provide all these opportunities. It’s been a pleasure to work with you all, but now is the time for me to pass the digital mantle to someone else who will no doubt build on those foundations. Special thanks to the Senior management team for their strong support and especially the rest of the IT team (past and present) who have supported me fully since day 1. None of it would have happened without you (and support from across the rest of the organisation). Thanks also to our external partners who have been great to work with along this journey. After reading all that, what’s stopping you from clicking below to find out about this rare opportunity and applying for the role if you think it seems like your next step! https://lnkd.in/eijfBUGJ Watch this space for my next chapter!

Again, another collection of experts who plainly ignore context. Patently misleading statements in here, not by willful deception but through unintended ignorance. “Myth: Breathing air in a room with fentanyl can make you sick. Medical experts said this is False. That’s because fentanyl isn’t volatile, meaning it doesn’t easily become a vapor.” WRONG WRONG WRONG. It’s not about vapor pressure! Never has been! If the contributors had taken professional due diligence to discuss this with government scientists, they would likely come to an alternative conclusion. It’s convenient to identify first responders as victims of ‘nocebo’ but I feel it epitomizes ignorance on the part of contributors to ignore the experts who work day in and day out on the illicit fentanyl as opposed to those who are experts with patches, ampoules, and lozenges.
