We stopped overnight in Ljubljana and visited the town and the castle there. Was very nice! Then a bus from there to Trieste.

Woop, I designed that! 🎉

Frankie Roberto @frankieroberto.com · 9d

Oh interesting. Were they using a service with a blue header at the top?

We’ve tried to get the tense right, but it’s not always clear which order things happen in.

Frankie Roberto @frankieroberto.com · 9d

Yikes, sorry. Did you book or were you looking up walk-in locations?

Frankie Roberto @frankieroberto.com · 9d

Hope it goes well! Ask them what digital services they’re using! 😃

Frankie Roberto @frankieroberto.com · 10d

Ah yes, that’s an issue - the local GP invites and bookings are (currently) completely separate from the England-wide service.

Frankie Roberto @frankieroberto.com · 10d

Well you and the pharmacy and possibly the GP will have been using some of our set of digital services!

Frankie Roberto @frankieroberto.com · 10d

Pharmacy or GP? And booked or walk-in? Lots of options!

Frankie Roberto @frankieroberto.com · 10d

Good luck with the move! (Although we’ll miss you in the office).

I can report that the Yard Sale x Dishoom pizza collab is pretty good.

Frankie Roberto @frankieroberto.com · 10d

It was fun! I think I’ll be hearing the songs a lot, and my 9 year old is already making plans to see the sequel in cinema.

Frankie Roberto @frankieroberto.com · 11d

My turn to watch K Pop Demon Hunters with my 9 year old. Have heard so much about it that I’m intrigued.

Frankie Roberto @frankieroberto.com · 17d

Well done England! #RWC2025

Week 64: Final countdown

Winter flu vaccinations. Prototype kit training. Misinformation.

Frankie Roberto @frankieroberto.com · 19d

Great stuff! Will share with my colleagues working on digital vaccination and screening services.

Frankie Roberto @frankieroberto.com · 22d

I don't think a single platform could cover all of these, but it could work for some of the smaller and medium sized ones?
