Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?

Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Unfortunately at this moment in time this is how my job makes me feel. There is a fair amount of change taking place in the NHS with some colleagues moving on, some taking early retirement and others yet to find out their fate. I know my fate and it is with the new Commissioning Support Unit. Don’t get me wrong I am so looking forward to starting my new role which will include digital and social media but nervous about how I will manage the split in working for one of the local CCGs as well. I am grateful for still having a job and just hope I don’t end up like a house of cards, with one gust of wind and I will cave in.

    Hi Val, great start to your blogging career! You say the things that so many people are feeling. There is a great sense of hope in your writing. It reminded me of this little film from @docmikeevans http://bit.ly/UOXj26 He talks about the 90:10 rule; in times of big transition, 10% is about the actual situation, the structures, roles etc and 90% is about how we respond to the situation. I look forward to reading lots more blogs from you as you progress in your CSU/CCG career. BW Helen Bevan

      Thanks very much Helen for your kind words. Felt quite nervous writing it. I love @docmikeevans videos and referenced another one today in my second blog. I think I am going to enjoy blogging and the new challenges coming my way.
