Really excited to get a surprise birthday present in the post - what can this lovely package be?

Reader it was BOWEL PREP. This was not one of my birthday wishes. 🤢😆

If there are no badges or lanyards I will wear rainbow socks
A rainbow vest
Rainbow bobbles in my hair
Rainbows in the palms of my hands
If rainbows are banned I will wait for the rain to clear and the sun to come out and I will look up
I will have a rainbow lunchbox
🌈

This suggests a fundamental change in public comms during peaks in demand may be required. The behaviours based campaigns of ‘don’t come to A&E, instead try another service first’ is arguably unlikely to influence the 4% & may deter those in real need. Food for thought #NHSComms

Happy ODP Day to my fellow colleagues & friends!!!!
From the profession that was not known to many, we are no longer hidden. Proud to be an ODP 🤗

It’s #ODPDay today! A huge thank you to the Operating Department Practitioners who do such a skilled & expert job & who provide such great care for surgical patients. You may never have heard of their role, but if you’ve ever had surgery, you’ve benefitted from their brilliance!

Terrifying story from zoetidman - Cancer patients choosing end of life care over possible NHS treatment because of the travel and costs involved in accessing it hsj.co.uk/bedfordshire-l…

A lot of people are dragging this person. The knee jerk reaction of “92% coverage?! That’s amazing! Why are you complaining. Leave the country.” This shows how low the bar has been set for health insurance coverage in the US. Let’s put on our empathy hats for a moment.

Imagine…

For #InternationalNursesDay , teams have been out and about celebrating with our nursing colleagues, showing our appreciation for the incredible work they do to deliver the best possible services to patients. Thank you!💙

Happy 44 years old to me and also to these weird chin wrinkles I have acquired 😆 🎂

On #InternationalNursesDay I want to recognise the extraordinary contribution of the nursing workforce. We are so grateful for your skill, expertise, leadership and dedication. You embody so much of what makes the NHS something to be proud of. Thank you all for everything you do.

The sun is out and it’s the time of year when I thoughts turn to whether our bodies are summer ready. I might remind you to wax your toes. Or to grow your toe hair as an act of resistance and practicality so it can be used it to tether a lilo or escapee toddler to the poolside

Today is #IND2024 , an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the vital contributions of nurses across the world. Our incredible nurses across #TeamMKUH constantly strive to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care and experience and we would like to say thank you!

Happy #InternationalNursesDay to my nurse friends and colleagues. Just want to say a huge thank you to - for what you do and who you are. I continue to learn so much about being a good leader and colleague from you. Lots of love and loveliness to you all today 💕

According to my timeline a lot of us perimenopausal women have slept suspiciously well this weekend, missing the #auroraborealis . This is the beginning of my book, where we alone are spared the apocalypse so we can sort everything out and then have a nice sit down and some crisps

Well I can’t see anything. I tell a lie, I can that see someone down the street has some sort of search beam for an outside light. Otherwise it’s Aurora Bore-off.

#Auroraborealis

Our alien plant overlords will apparently return tonight. I suggest we all set our alarms now to go outside and have a look at them. I know we all wanted a general election but we’ve got being taken over by MONSTROUS SPACE WEEDS instead, which is probably fine. #Auroraborealis

Look all I’m saying is that those of us who were asleep last night and missed the #Auroraborealis have read Day of the Triffids and are sad that most of you on here will shortly go blind and be eaten by that clematis in your back garden (fairly sure that’s the plot).

Waking up to all the Aurora Borealis photos when I slept through the entire thing #NorthernLights
