If someone goes up to a baby and says: "What could this thing ever achieve??!! Look at it, it's so weak and helpless! It will never accomplish anything!" Then you would probably call that person an idiot. But when some know it all looks at a young entrepreneur or an early stage startup and says:… Continue reading Judging Babies

Pareto’s Principle
Anyone that's ran a business before or been involved in management will have come across Pareto's Principle at some point. It's the principle that says that 80% of your results come from 20% of your effort. An example would be having a look at your client list and seeing where your revenue comes from.

NHS Startup Part VII – Don’t Make Me Think
So I met with my software developers today and I think they've pretty much nailed it. It was actually really incredible, because I hardly gave them any direction in what I wanted the app to look like. I just told them what functionality I wanted in detail and told them to be as creative as they… Continue reading NHS Startup Part VII – Don’t Make Me Think

Steer The Ship
I can't help but feel introspective as of late. I am in my last post as a junior doctor before finishing my post grad. There's only a year left of this course. During my time in hospital a lot of my seniors have often made passing remarks such as "oh, I thought you were a… Continue reading Steer The Ship

PART I - Basic Definitions GPSoC = GP Systems of Choice. GPSoC are an organisation that help GP surgeries have he best technology… Continue reading NHS Startup Part IV – Building Software/Apps
NHS Health Startup – Part Two
A late installment written in retrospect. I fear that this blog will be more of a rant at the NHS than anything else. I am struck by the kindness and openness of people who work in the healthcare system in England. The people who toil every day and are doing the important work - taking… Continue reading NHS Health Startup – Part Two
The Why, The What & The How
What's your Why? It doesn't matter what it is. It could be that you want to help others, be the richest person in town, be the most knowledgeable, most caring, most outrageous... If you don't have a good Why, one that you are attached to deeply, you will use the What and the How as an excuse… Continue reading The Why, The What & The How
