Junior doctors have my support! ✊🏻

Have been a bit busy this week 😅
Completed my 2 day training to become a #NHFT Mental health first aider! ❤️

Massive shout out to David Harrison@NHFT and Sasha, our amazing trainers!
Wonderfully insightful, compassionate and empowering!

Devastating that it has come to this.

Remember all, these Strikes dont need to happen if the Government cared enough to listen and try find resolve.

Strikes happen when met with silence and dismissal of evident issues.

People aren't dying because nurses are striking

Nurses are striking because people are dying

The Government is to blame. If you agree and you support the nurses reply with a 💙.

Sorry I’ve been a bit MIA!
Have been super busy with work, extra bank shifts and have the added stress of moving on top! 😫

Hoping things start easing up soon as I really do miss you all!

Rishi Sunak visited today - he didn’t step foot on a single acute ward.

Clearly there just for the photo op to make it seem like he cares 🙄

Completed my last day of my Criminal Justice placement - sad to leave as had an amazing time!!!

Final placement begins on Monday!
Frightening how quick this final stage of training is going!!!!

Sadly need to move in April at the end of my tenancy; no longer pass affordability test for 1 bedroom places but a room in a 6 bed HMO is £500+ 😵‍💫

Fortunately I have parents I can temporarily stay with - but what about those not so lucky?!?

Only 4 more shifts at my current placement until I start my final one!

These 4 years have gone so quickly.
Can’t believe this time next year I will be fully qualified, pin and all! 😭

Apologies for being so quiet - December was pretty rough going!

Hope you all had a wonderful Xmas and a lovely start to the new year ❤️

Why is his voice of incompetence/lies louder than mine?
It’ll be 2 years next month since I started raising awareness on nursing pay and the decimation of our NHS.

This is absolutely devastating - sadly it’s the reality for many people in this country this year.

Fortunately LBC was able to get this man the help he desperately needed but what about those who don’t?
It shouldn’t take calling in to be saved.

The system is a failure.

If you are struggling over the Christmas period, there is always someone to talk to. You are not alone, please just pick up the phone.

Tomorrow is the first of the NHS workers strikes.

Remember:
- We are humans just like you.
- We can’t provide great care when we are losing staff at alarming rates.
- Patients are NOT being abandoned.
- Strikes could have been avoided if the Government chose to engage.

With RCN strike dates confirmed for December the most common question I'm being asked is:

How can I support striking nurses?

Here are 5 practical ways you can help the cause

A (smallish) thread 🧵

I think one of the saddest parts of modern society is the loss of community spirit.

I know so many people who don’t even know their next door neighbours.

Yet we wonder why loneliness has become so widespread?

So I decided to follow my heart in regards to my role once I graduate.

I withdrew from the crisis role as despite it being a great opportunity - it’s not what I’m passionate about.

Had an interview on Saturday - got the job.

You’re looking at a future CAMHS nurse 🥳

It was actually Siobhan who inspired me to make my account on here & start using my voice! 😉

I felt really defeated before firstly finding Siobhan & then all the wonderful people from all walks of life I’ve met since! - stonger together! ✊🏻

Please show her some love ❤️

Love to my fellow nursing support workers ❤️
