This weekend I joined 2 other members of 306HSR to conduct the self-assessment of the Health Assurance Framework. All three of us provide subject matter expertise in the delivery and assurance of healthcare. With a broad experience of healthcare delivery in both the military and civilian sectors, there was a true diversity of thought, discussions and debate on our self-assessment. We developed a structured, specific and measurable action plan to ensure we improve our overall self-assessment assurance moving forward. Even more exciting, through these conversations, we are using this opportunity to drive value based actions. Highlighting areas for overall improvements in the way we do 'our business, day to day'. Ensuring the functions are fit for purpose and we are capturing the evidence to highlight that great work. I have been involved in healthcare governance for several years, and this was the first time I have felt we were using the HAF tool to really drive continuous improvement, rather than ticking a box. My final reflection is how much my civilian role has influenced my contribution. Reservists have so much to offer Defence, with the wide variety of roles and experiences that Reservists bring from all different walks of life. This can often be where true innovation is created, as it introduces a new voice in the echo chamber that Defence can sometimes be. I'm excited to continue to build on this momentum! #Reservists #Healthcare #Governance

Preparation is crucial when submitting VA Appeals. To ensure a smooth process, gather all necessary documentation related to your condition. Review the checklist carefully to avoid any omissions. Collect medical records from military, VA, and civilian providers, emphasizing service-related evidence like deployment records. Gather all relevant documents associated with your VA Disability case, including correspondence with Boards and agencies. Obtain signed testimonies from witnesses detailing how your condition affects your daily life and ability to work. Employer, service member, and family member perspectives are valuable. Remember, the correct documentation is the most vital aspect of your VA appeal. Without proper evidence, your appeal might be fruitless. Finally, when submitting your appeal, keep copies of all records. Never send original copies unless specifically requested. Protect your case at all costs! With thorough preparation, your VA appeal stands a much better chance of success. Tag someone who needs to see this!  #veteransbenefits #veteranshelpingveterans #disabilitybenefits

What are we doing to reduce redundancy in government contracting. Let’s start a thread and list your redundancies. I’ll start! Army Contracting Writing Systems (CWS) need to interface with DCMA’s CWS so we stop having to duplicate administrative modifications such as Deobligation, Pay Office Changes etc.

When one reads news like this, it demonstrates how badly Defence continues to manage Honours and Awards even through the Tribunal. What ever made anyone think this recommendation would be acceptable especially before Anzac Day? Defence’s reputation has long been shot in this area noting a number of senior officers were awarded their Distinguished Servive Cross contrary to the criteria. These DSC’s must be withdrawn as the criteria cannot be adjusted especially on the back of the Afghanistan inquiry, this case and the cases of Teddy Sheean, Major Ray Williams and 24 others as peace monitors in the Middle East. In 2018 Defence produced a Cabinet Minute recommending the Government no longer accept reclassifications. With the DSC matter, Defence have now trapped their senior officers under this Minute while they tried to stop others having the right of review. Those high level awards must be withdrawn as they were incorrectly awarded. Or records could be adjusted to include HMAS Manoira as force assigned. Never touch anyone’s pay packets or Honours and Awards - pretty simple rule.

Telegraph FoI In resilience, sustainability and survivability terms, demonstrates that 'Mass Matters" The Army has 74,110 personnel but only 53,192 [2:3] are fit for ops, what the military calls Medically Fully Deployable [MFD]. 9,217 soldiers classed Medically Limited Deployable [MLD] – can deploy on ops but only be able to conduct certain duties. A further 7,449 [1:10] of all soldiers, cannot be deployed at all, classified as Medical Non Deployable [MND]. In 2021 MND troops 13,248; 2023 increased to 14,743. 7921 personnel classed as being of MLD (temporary) (cassification means they have either a persistent but relatively minor injury or an injury that is close to recovery). 13,727 downgraded from frontline duties because of musculoskeletal injuries suffered in training or from combat. 4,214 cannot deploy on combat operations because of mental health conditions. Royal Navy/Marines: 29,220 personnel 21,649 MFS RAF: 29,010 personnel, 19,466 MFD. Number of troops treated for orthopaedic and spinal injuries under the NHS Fast Track Surgery contract has more than doubled in the last four years. In 2020-21, 203 were treated under the scheme but in the year 2023-24, the MoD predicts up to 540 will receive fast track treatment.
