The challenge of NHS comms
It has been a challenging time for NHS communicators yet again over the last few weeks.
A view from the top
It's Monday morning and I wake up in New York. Nothing particularly new in the fact that I'm not in Chicago (my home base) but, this time, I'm travelling with my wife and kids, so the benefits of "nearing retirement" are becoming increasingly evident...

The show isn't over for Tulisa
It's the easiest thing in the world to write off a celebrity's career when they get hit by a tabloid exposé, and of course there are always a handful of opportunistic columnists ready to pile in there and help with the last rites.
