We’re in 2025, yet elderly patients are still lying on floors waiting for help. That’s not “demand pressure” – it’s a system failing.

When you’ve been a patient yourself, you understand the fear, the waiting, the uncertainty. It changes how you treat people. #HealthcareLeadership #PrimaryCareCrisis #NHS #privateambulance #privatehealthcare #Teamwork #paramedic

Tag someone who’s waited hours for an ambulance – and tell their story. The more we speak out, the more pressure for change. #NHS #PrimaryCareCrisis #privateambulance #privatehealthcare #paramedic

💊 Sometimes we treat symptoms. 💚 Sometimes we treat fear. Either way — the patient leaves better than we found them. #Leadership #NHS #privateambulance #ambulance #privatehealthcare #paramedic

Horrifying news from the 6.25pm train from Doncaster to London — 10 people hospitalised after a multiple-stabbing onboard, with 2 in life-threatening condition. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm2z… My heart goes out to all those affected. #StaySafe #TrainSafety

Great discussion on LBC today with Vanessa Feltz about the #NHS and state of healthcare. Interested to hear a student paramedic call in about uncertainty around future employment. We’ve seen high numbers of newly qualified #paramedic applications at MET Medical Ambulance Service

I heard a clip from an interview on the radio which had Wes Streeting and a doctor. He was quite firm on his position around the strikes and the The BMA - would love to hear people’s thoughts on the #resident #doctor #strikes

Who’s got #budget anxiety😥 More doom and gloom in healthcare no doubt! #Budget2026 #government #Labour #tax #healthcare #Unemployment

The NHS is getting an extra £300M to invest in local #healthcare centres, but the National Living #Wage is going to cost the #NHS over £200M alone without taking into consideration the increases in supplier costs due to the inflationary knock-on effect or other wages keeping up.
