💬 Every nurse-patient interaction is a chance to educate on tobacco risks. Use it. #TobaccoControl

Barney hasn’t got the emotional equipment to deal with this drama… upsetting Avani who was only trying to help #eastenders

They don’t tell you that you don’t grow out of having accidents on your period. It doesn’t get more manageable.

1/ Why Black Inclusion is a Health Issue for everyone This #BlackInclusionWeek, let's connect the dots between racism and wellbeing.

2/ Black communities face higher rates of hypertension, diabetes, and maternal death. Not genetics. Systems.

3/ Racism increases stress & makes care harder to access. That’s not just inequality that’s a public health issue.

4/ Cultural competence in care = trust, safety & better outcomes. Lack of it? Leads to fear, mistrust & poor engagement.

5/ Health messages must reflect real diversity. No visibility = No trust = No help-seeking.

6/ Allyship isn’t performative. Understanding inequality helps you care better for everyone.

7/ Inclusion benefits all of us. Better systems help every patient, not just Black ones. #HealthEquityUK #TheDiverseNurse

Deaf awareness isn’t a bonus it’s a nursing standard. If we don’t understand the basics of Deaf communication, we’re risking safety and consent. Start by asking: “How do you prefer to communicate?” #DeafAwarenessWeek #TheDiverseNurse

Alzheimer’s isn’t just memory loss. It’s fear. It’s confusion. It’s families drowning in silence and stigma. This #AlzheimersAwarenessMonth, let’s talk about the signs we miss & the people we overlook. 💜 One post, one share, one better conversation. #DementiaCare

Do you know how to communicate safely with Deaf patients? Lip-reading is unreliable. BSL is a language in its own right. Ask patients their preferences. Use visual aids.Inclusion starts with listening. #TheDiverseNurse #DeafAwarenessWeek #HealthEquity

🧵 Alzheimer’s Isn’t Just Memory Loss — It’s a Crisis Hiding in Plain Sight

If you're a nurse and haven’t had Deaf awareness training, this is your reminder.

Deaf patients are twice as likely to face unmet health needs. Many leave appointments confused or avoid them altogether.

Lip-reading ≠ communication. Only 30% of English is lip-readable.

You don’t need to know BSL but you do need to ask patients how they prefer to communicate.

Deaf awareness isn’t a bonus. It’s part of providing safe, dignified care. Let’s make this week the start of long-term inclusion. #TheDiverseNurse #DeafAwareness

#GoHomeOnTimeDay reminds us: staying late isn’t sustainable. Protect your health. Lead with boundaries. The work will still be there tomorrow. #SafeStaffing #NurseLeadership #DigitalNurse
