5hrs to arrange a Community rehab bed... multiple calls, 3 separate handovers, transport issues, strict cut offs. Immensely frustrating at a time when clinical capacity is more precious than ever. Surely we can streamline this service? @stephlawrence5 Thea Stein Caroline McNamara

Tragic news The latest Cornwall Insight prediction, based on Ofgem's new methodology, is an 81% price cap rise in Oct (taking typical bill to £3,582/yr) and a further 19% in Jan (so £4,266/yr) Action & planning is needed now. The zombie govt needs wake up sooner than 5 Sept...

Me: moaning excessively about the hot weather to anyone that will listen. Also me: Anyone fancy a brew?

To all those not receiving their desired A Level results - I was once in your shoes! It felt like failure at the time, but my consequent year out was the best thing that could have happened to me and opened so many more doors than I could ever have imagined. Keep faith

Working late to write a letter of clinical support for a patient with advanced dementia to maintain continuity of her care provider of the last 3yrs, because CHC refuse to fund them. In the 21st century realms of person-centred and holistic care this is simply mind blowing... 🤯

Today we said goodbye to our fantastic 3rd year student. Emily - you've taken full lists, been proactive, positive and always light up the office with your smile. It's been wonderful to watch you grow and you will be an amazing nurse. I hope our paths cross again 😊

A busy day on the virtual ward! And a 9pm baking session can only mean one thing... my baby turns 3 tomorrow!!!

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay. Close to 1️⃣ billion people have a #MentalHealth disorder. Despite the magnitude of mental ill health, relatively few people around the 🌍 have access to quality mental health services. Let's make mental health & well-being for all a global priority!

Working hard (with tonsilitis!) on our #virtualward LCH NHS Trust this weekend to keep our patients out of hospital. Please play your part to minimise pressures and enable people to access the right care in the right place. #HelpUsHelpYou

1/ There's a lot of talk around patient safety & care, or lack of. Last month I unexpectedly experienced the #NHS from the other side - as a patient rather than Paramedic. I thought I understood the challenges/pressures, but I wasn't ready to experience just how bad things are

Nurses have been offered a pay increase of 5% for 2023-24 and a one-off payment worth between £1,655 and £3,789 for this year. Do you think it is enough?

Agree. Perhaps a clinical / non-clinical split would be appropriate? Whilst we rely on our non-clinical staff there is a vast difference in demand, expectations, responsibility and CPD/training between a nurse and say NHS PR/marketing executive. That should be reflected in pay

Disgraceful that this behaviour, let alone LAW is allowed in the 21st century. A sad day and a huge step backwards for LGBTQ rights. Imagine not being 'free' to be yourself 💔

Easter weekend brought us the true celebration of "new life" when our hearts and family grew as we welcomed our gorgeous BOY into the world 💙 Rupert Geoffrey Johnson you are so loved. Huge Thank You York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS FT maternity services for the outstanding care we both received.

Massive thank you to your incredible midwives and maternity services who helped us welcome our baby boy into the world on good friday. Despite significant staffing challenges and closure to further admissions that day, my care was outstanding and we had a quick turnaround 👏⭐️

My mother and I are alone in Cairo. I can’t leave her here. I’ve called the UK embassy and they have offered me nothing. Every day I am away from my work, my patients lives are at risk. I need to bring my mother with me to England. Why is this inhumane policy adopted.

Today's lunch date... 🍴 #MoreCatThanChat
