New rule to help recognise burnout: Stop saying & accepting “I am fine” articulate it another way (it’s ok to say “I am not fine but I don’t want to talk about it) #burnout

I thought retirement would be wonderful and it is. I get to spend so much time with my beautiful grandchildren. #cherishthedays #grandchildrenrock

📣 Calling all UK physiotherapists in a static ICU role 📣 I would be grateful it you could take a moment to complete my survey on the role of physiotherapists for potential organ donors. qualtrics.ucl.ac.uk/jfe/form…

There was some big news this week which should have been top of the news agenda - the fact that it wasn’t and the story that dominated the public space instead tells a worrying story about the priorities of many in this country 🧵

The NHS is rolling out a patient safety initiative called 'Martha's Rule' which enables patients and families to seek an urgent review if they are worried about their or a loved one’s condition. This will undoubtedly save lives in the future. england.nhs.uk/2024/02/nhs-t…

Alongside @NOrF_CCO_RRS and @CC_3N we welcome and support #MarthasRule. Successful implementation will depend upon a properly resourced critical care outreach service in every unit and investment is needed to ensure all can succeed. Full statement: bit.ly/CCOP_MarthaRule

Safe staffing for physios in ICU: Should there be a minimum level of ‘skilled’ PTs on shift to ensure pt safety? What does 1:4 actually mean? Just because you’re a PT does it mean you’re a good educator? So many questions! Great to see this out 🙌 acprc.org.uk/publications/ac…

Today we’re launching our updated CVC Insertion Safety Checklist alongside @ICS_updates. It takes into account learning from patient safety incidents arising from this common procedure in ICU. See ficm.ac.uk/cvc-insertion-saf… for more.

Dear Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Lid, Aldi, Waitrose, Morrisons, and all other stores that have self checkout. You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. The lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone. I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already 🛒 filled my cart 🛒 emptied my cart 🛒 scanned the items 🛒refilled my cart and so I just skipped the exit line and left. I heard her saying "umm - Excuse me " as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store. You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be. I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you. • If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's vour problem not mine. • Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities. YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING. YOU DON'T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU. Signed ....All of us These are jobs that are needed to have for young and old ……………………… Copied and pasted, because I agree 100%. SPREAD IT AROUND

Every night I say my prayers. Friends and family may think this odd but I’ve done it since my teens. I pray for all irrespective of race or religion that they find and practice peace. I especially pray for children and that their suffering ends whatever that may be. #PeaceForAll

Unfortunately I lost my dad in December 2020. Immunosuppressed due to chemotherapy he developed sepsis in a foot ulcer, was hospitalised then caught Covid 😢. #sepsis #UKSepsisTrust

Plz plz RT I know it’s September but this is so so so important. This is just heartbreaking 💔 Go into your local @DunelmUK store, they have a tree with gift tags on. You pick a gift tag take it, then return the present with the tag attached back to that store at beginning of December, then the presents will be taken to the children.. you can also add extra little gifts in if you like not just what’s on the tag. This is heartbreaking but so beautiful too. Make someone smile this #Christmas ❤️🎄🎅☃️ #danielsjourney #randomactsofkindness #KindnessMatters #christmasgifts

I’m incredibly honoured to take up this role for an organisation I believe so passionately in. No-one better to share the role with than @PaulMouncey. So grateful to @KathyRowan101 for the strong organisation she has built and delighted we’ll continue to benefit from her advice.
