'My worst day was losing eight patients in one shift. I cried for two days' Heart-breaking testimony from NHS staff at the Covid Inquiry.
Good luck @AmiWilkinson14 ❤️❤️
The NHS runs on guilt, The guilt we get from saying No. So we say yes to extra shifts, we cancel plans, we stay late. We take on projects, teach, present, publish... Until one day... we can't. Burnout. But it's OK to say No, To have boundaries. We need to to survive.
A highly dysfunctional team sees other roles and departments within the same organisation as not part of the team. A BRILLIANT team sees other roles and departments within the same organisation as part of the team. This shift in mindset is everything for leadership and culture.
Today we have published our new report with @CountyDurhamCF which lays bare the stark extent of inequalities in one of the poorest regions of the country 1/9 healthequitynorth.co.uk/health-divide-…
To all the other zebras out there, lovely to see some research being done locally 🦓🦓

Orthostatic tachycardia after #COVID19 by @trishgreenhalgh @bmj_latest “about 25% of #LongCovid patients may have dysautonomia & 2-14% will develop orthostatic tachycardia (#POTS ) 6 to 8 months after infection.” Anecdotally, seeing more & more of it. bmj.com/content/380/bm…
Nursing staff, who go above and beyond every single day to care for our nation, cannot afford the basics. #FairPayForNursing protects them to protect the public.
People aren't dying because nurses are striking Nurses are striking because people are dying The Government is to blame. If you agree and you support the nurses reply with a 💙. #FairPayForNursing
