One of our longest serving staff Edinburgh EM retired yesterday……Anne you will be a massive miss, you have worked tirelessly for both the ED & MIU……there are not enough thank you’s Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh Dave Caesar Dave McKean

Not sure if you’ve recently had exam results, but one of the cleverest, kindest and best managers that I’ve ever worked with posted this earlier this month. Kirsty Anne Jack is one of NHS Lothian’s brightest stars, working in Midlothian Health & Social Care Partnership just now.

Civility month in the ED. ‘How we behave towards each other is the single greatest factor in how we perform as a team.’ This ED is a great team- let’s spread this message far and wide especially under current UK wide pressures. Ian Higginson Ray Middlemiss Dave McKean Dave Caesar

Anyone else feeling VERY protective over our Emergency Departments just now? Feeling very defensive at the moment trying to keep staff going while they’re at breaking point and having to see all the negativity about poor performance. Give us a break.

This is a wonderful quote ❤️

GENERAL ELECTION NOW!

Anyone fancy quitting the UK and forming a breakaway society where we read books and drink tea and just be nice to each other all day?! You in?

I was saddened and shocked today speaking with a lovely student nurse and hearing of how unsupported she was in her current placement. None of our staff should leave work in tears and there is no place for incivility in our NHS. Please always be kind ❤️#incivilitynhs

Happy Halloween

"We have now entered a defining moment in our history, and our fight will continue for as long as it takes to win justice for the nursing profession and our patients.” Hear from Pat Cullen MP on the RCN's strike ballot results. #FairPayForNursing

To each and every clinical support worker - thank you 👏👏

Imagine if @LewisCapaldiUK Ed Shearan calumbeattie Adele 𝗔𝗠𝗬 𝗠𝗔𝗖𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗗 all created charity song to help the crisis to help with poverty…..

Thank you to the mystery 'Huge fan of the NHS' for your wonderful Christmas card. So unbelievably kind and thoughtful. I'm sure I speak on behalf of all of us in Edinburgh EM when I say this has truly lifted our spirits, and brought a few tears to our eyes. Thank you ever so much

Never seen A&E like this. Never seen staff so mentally and physically exhausted. Never felt so worried for our patients. Never felt so let down by those who have the power to fix this. When will someone say enough is enough? NHS Lothian Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh Edinburgh EM

As our students return to clinical placement. The illustration below demonstrates the role of a Practice Assessor/ Practice Educators and how to foster positive developmental discussions when completing the students reflective documents. 🌟
