A really heart-warming video from some of our people at Methodist Homes (MHA). As the relative in the video rightly says "I don't think we value enough those that look after our most vulnerable citizens". #FrontlineWorkersDay #FixCareForAll

A shame if this sensible, useful approach to a workforce strategy from Skills for Care Local Government Association (LGA) CSA CareProviderAlliance Think Local Act Personal and others got lost amid all the speculation today about tax rises for #socialcare. Worth a read so a v. quick thread 1/4 skillsforcare.org.uk/About/News/New…

NHS made a plan to abandon people living in care homes during the pandemic. And then they enacted it, leaving the lowest paid and least trained care workers to cope. telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/07/3…

A Renault Clio E-Tech worth £22,000 is being offered by a care group to motivate its care staff to have both doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. #socialcare carehome.co.uk/news/article.c…

Delighted to say that BBC News (UK) is looking to do a piece on the crisis in staffing across #socialcare Any care/nursing home owners or #homecare providers willing to take part, please DM me as soon as possible. Help us to get the message across to those who can help.

ITV film crew inspecting the unallocated shifts in a homecare agency yesterday (red blocks on computer). It’s the same up and down the country. The goodwill of careworkers is stretched beyond any reasonable limit. Lots of emotion as careworkers & managers told their stories.

We look after people in social care, not patients and certainly not beds. People. thetimes.co.uk/article/shocki…

You are what you consume. Food, news and other media, thoughts-emotions, they all impact who you are and how you show up i.e. your beliefs and behaviors. So…who do you want to be? Choose wisely! #eat #sweat #think #connect #thinkaboutit

My husband just went for a run. It’s 8pm but he did it anyway. He felt entirely able to. It didn’t occur to him he couldn’t or what might happen if he did. It didn’t occur to him to be afraid. That is all.

A new day in Westminster has dawned...
