I'm lucky to have been born here, in relative safety. I have rights and protections. I believe those who run to try and protect their families should be helped.

International Nurses Day appreciation for my staff. We are a cohesive, functioning team and lucky enough to be friends too. #adayinthelifeofdistrictnursing #DistrictNursing #NHSStrong CNWL NHS FT HillingdonDNs&CCTs

This made me well up. Validation is key. Thank you xxx

We support the doctors strike and all other NHS staff who fight for better working conditions. Please RT if you do too. We cannot keep relying of the goodwill of healthcare professionals.

Just had a leisurely lunch at uni, still 90 minutes early for my osce and realising I've moved out of the mildly terrified zone into a kind of quasi fatalistic calm. Mildly amusing. Might get a coffee

SO IMPORTANT. Not just about whether you personally want to go on strike: more about if you feel the pay suggestion is fair, liveable, appropriate to clinical education and responsibility. If you don't but can't envisage striking yourself, please vote yes so that others can

Passed the osce. Annnnnnd breathe.

Birthday bits from the team

Sheila is heartbroken to lose her most treasured possession- a gold chain holding 4 wedding rings; from her parents & her 2 marriages to Alec & John. Believe lost in central London. PLEASE RT in case anyone finds it. She is absolutely desperate for its return. Reward offered.

🚨 | NEW: Tory MP Sajid Javid has said an MP's £86k salary is an "issue" and should be doubled to attract talent in Parliament "If I had my way I would halve the number of MPs and double the salaries [...] you would get a much higher quality of Parliament." [Lizzy Buchan]

Exactly

'Key to the success of the NHS, is social care funding' ~ Professor Nicola Ranger, RCN Acting General Secretary and Chief Executive. #RCNCongress24

Assisted Dying debate....so many demanding this conversation be shelved until we have excellent palliative care across the country first. As nurses, many of us know that even with excellent care, we can't relieve all symptoms 24/7. Deflection is unhelpful. #RCNCongress24

Inspirational courage. To take a lived experience of intense discomfort due to stigma.....and choose to really live within that, to promote knowledge, reducing fear and improving the experience of so many others. Thank you Gareth Thomas Thomas. #RCNCongress24

My beloved Da and I. He died in 2012 and on Father's day each year, I pay for a surgery so a child can see their father because I can't see mine anymore. RIP Da X ❤️ X Huge thanks to Orbis International for the incredible work they do across the world, all year round.
