Replying to @LNER
@LNER on the 19:01 from Stevenage to Leeds. Delayed due to a train fault and now stuck not moving due to a signal failure. Train line is now saying the train is cancelled. No update or announcement made to the passengers on bored. Are we expecting to get off at the next stop?

@LNER still waiting a response and explanation why my train was terminated early and forced to get on the train behind us for no apparent reason and no reason given by the train staff who didn’t have a clue.

Absolutely thrilled to share I’ve been offered a Band 7 Community Clinical Paramedic Specialist in Palliative Care! Earlier this year I was unsuccessful, but I kept pushing. Never give up on your dreams – if you fight for them, you will achieve them. #PalliativeCare #Paramedic

💚🚑 #InternationalParamedicsDay I’m proud to be a paramedic — but today isn’t just about us. It’s a chance to say thank you to everyone who supports the work we do: from ECAs and HCAs to nurses, dispatchers, and community teams. Whether it’s on the front line, in clinics, or the wider health care system — your compassion and teamwork make all the difference. Grateful to work alongside such incredible people. #ThankYouParamedics #Team999 #TeamworkInAction #PrideInParamedicine

Even on holiday, there’s never really a day off being a paramedic. Huge thanks to @NWAmbulance and @GNairambulance for their swift and professional response during an incident today — and for taking the time to check in on my own welfare afterwards. Truly grateful. 🚑🚁 #Paramedic #Teamwork

This research shows the vital importance the ambulance services plays in urgent palliative care. It is vital that the ambulance service is incorporated into the future development of palliative care paramedicpractice.com/conten… #PalliativeCare #AmbulanceService #EndOfLifeCare #NHS

🚨 Paramedics – don’t forget! The HCPC revalidation window is now open. ✅ I’ve renewed mine — do it early to avoid last-minute stress. 💻 Takes minutes. 💷 And don’t forget, you may be able to claim back tax on the fee! #HCPC #Paramedic #Revalidation #DoItNow

Really good Q&A session this afternoon with @drkathrynmannix on radio 4. Worth a catch up if you missed it
OK, everyone - this happens today, 3-4pm. What do you want to know about dying, palliative care, talking about our mortality? Tweet your questions to @bbc5live or reply below. I'll do my best to answer what I can. #HotSeat #OrdinaryDying

"Cancer knows no boundaries, a cruel reminder with the news concerning the Princess of Wales. It's a fight that touches many, regardless of status or age. My heart goes out to her, especially thinking of her young children during this challenging time. #CancerAwareness

Spent Thursday in London, I was humbled by my investiture into the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John. This recognition for services to event delivery in the South East and during the COVID-19 pandemic response . #Duty #Honor #OrderOfStJohn"

Be vigilant !
We are aware that some registrants have received automated calls regarding supposed HCPC investigations, and been asked to contact a specified number. We can confirm that this is vishing scam and that we don't contact registrants in this way! 👉 hcpc-uk.org/registration/you…

Working in healthcare is hardwork; on top of that the media, especially social media, will only spread negative thoughts about the state of healthcare. This podcast aims to help with both of those: a bit of positivity, a few helpful thoughts kccpodcast.buzzsprout.com/
