When this platform is at its best it can be a wonderful place for connection, community and positive change. But this platform at its worst is grim. And I see more of it at its worst than its best at the moment. Also I’ve realised it’s not great for my OCD. Time for a NY break 👋

We start the New Year with a tremendously busy hospital. My thanks go to all the staff Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS FT for their unstinting hard work. Despite significant efforts, patients are waiting longer than we’d like in our ED because of the volume of very unwell people we are seeing. 1/2

I hope everyone has a peaceful start to 2024, especially those working in the NHS, the police & wider emergency and response services.

This is often a hard night. If you’re finding it hard, hold on. Hold on. There is hope, love & joy in 2024. There is hope, love & joy for you.

Another year when I have not been honoured by the monarch for my occasionally amusing tweets and that time I cleaned the oven instead of ‘leaving it to burn off’.

There are lots of NHS execs and CEOs on this platform. Maybe all those willing could commit to saying this sort of thing just won’t happen in their Trust (and when it does that it will get sorted out). Things like this are in our gift to stop and to sort out.

Why is the NHS workforce so angry? Why is med twitter so toxic and lashing out? Why is goodwill and discretionary effort in freefall? Because of crap like this.

As a hospital exec, if this happened in my organisation I’d want to know about so I could sort it out, because this just simply shouldn’t happen.

It’s the time of year to buy a planner that WILL DEFINITELY CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Maybe some stickers to go in it. Some highlighters. IT’S A WHOLE NEW ORGANISED YOU until January 3rd when you will never look at it again.

I’d say it was probably the lack of affordable housing, food, utilities, childcare, welfare, transport; the divisive political rhetoric that stirs up hate and division and the collapsing social infrastructure but sure.

I will not be joining in with all the ‘do I look my age’ photograph tweeting because I look like I’ve been exhumed from a crypt that, prior to be entombed, I haunted for 3,000 years.

Despite holding similar qualifications & performing comparable job responsibilities Black Nurses earn less than their white counterparts. This troubling trend underscores the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the racial wage gaps in the nursing

We can and must do so much better than this. It is entirely unreasonable for rotating doctors who haven’t started employment at a trust to organise their own rota swaps. It’s this stuff that grinds people down. We have to start treating rotating doctors respectfully and decently.
