Editorial
Weather blah blah blah conferences blah blah blah Olympics blah blah blah more weather blah blah blah… Have you any idea how tricky it is to come up with something new to say here every week? Sometimes there’s something big and important (or even little and important) to announce. Sometimes there’s some obvious item of national interest to comment on, which can be tied into the health agenda in some way. And sometimes it’s just another week, when the most interesting thing that has been added to the site is an announcement that the NHS Constitution has been translated into Polish, Portuguese and Punjabi. Still, it’s a bank holiday this weekend so enjoy the break. Or, if you’re working or on call, enjoy whatever break you get in lieu. The next New@Networks will be sent out on Thursday 28 August.
