    Senior nurses visiting staff at the frontline isn’t ‘inspiring leadership’; it’s common decency & doesn’t warrant endless tweets. Inspiring leadership = thinking strategically,acting fast & taking responsibility for ensuring patient & staff safety.I’d like to hear more about that

    In the UK, this 5-year old girl was in the hospital getting chemotherapy. When the nurses found out she loved ballet, they surprised her with a very special performance.

    Replying to @nytopinion
    Yes, both my parents had excellent care up to their deaths. Wouldn’t have been able to afford it in the USA

    Imagine this, a talk about women (biological sex) and health and I’ve had to promise not to disclose the location or take photos 😳  #AmplifyingWomen

    Having to keep the location of a talk on women's rights & experiences in the field of healthcare a Top Secret is where we are right now. Wonder what the MILLIONS of women denied the right to even walk into these libraries over the centuries would think of that. #AmplifyingWomen

    Told at work this week that, despite my PhD, I shouldn’t call myself Dr. in case I’m confused with a medic 🙄

    Can we please stop talking about bed blocking. We should value people not beds. Still can’t forgive the doctor who told my dying father he was a bed blocker 10 days before he died causing my father huge shame

    Hospital ‘bed blocking’ numbers hit highest level since 2017

    The best thing about Twitter for me this year has been finding @MichaelRosenYes . Despite having a worse Covid19 experience that most of us, his account fills me with hope and humour. Thank you Michael

    To all the nurses and ex nurses not in clinical practice wondering if they could do it - there is plenty of fundamental care to be done . Vital signs, drug rounds, encouraging fluids, supporting patients to tolerate CPAP. If I can do it, you can do it 3/n

    I would like hear from @CNOEngland and every Trust Chief Nurse about whether they were consulted by @SteveBarclay or @NHSEmployers on this. Leadership please

    The NHS believes @theRCN’s upcoming strike action is illegal – so I am regretfully providing notice of my intent to pursue legal action. The details explained in my statement 👇(1/2)
