Not new news to us or our organisation. The NHS is incredibly poor at workforce planning. Constant pressure to save money and or penalties threatened on unachievable targets, has left us unable to focus on the one thing that is most important, our staff. apple.news/AFY1WzuRRQ3uYrKbN…
So an ‘almost didn’t happen’ holiday did happen. I have to admit to a tear, the relief was slightly overwhelming as it’s taken me 5 days to stop and remember how to do absolutely bloody nothing. And then I relaxed.

So much secrecy and organising, then I missed it. A star for a star. Thank you for inspiring me every day @KlepaczMinnie
It is a great honor for me to receive this @CavellTrust award. The most profound recognition goes to #teamUHD who has been supported me on recent years. I would like to thank all of you who believe in me and joined me in this unforgettable journeys @UHD_NHS @BameUhd

big bed
ALT Four panelled comic. Panel 1: Red and Blue Dino lying on a small bed together. Blue looks stressed. Panel 2: Red and Blue going into a cave with a sign that says “big beds, sale”. Panel 3: Red and Blue lying on a big bed with some space between them. Blue is still looking stressed. Panel 4: Red cuddling up to Blue, with extra empty space on Red’s side. Blue, looking content, has their arms around Red.
Today I felt someone's frustration, emotion and the absolute wish for us to do our best, not only for ourselves, or the Trust but for our patients. The message isn't lost, we know they aren't just numbers. Thank you for being real.

Do you count patients or numbers? Have you ever ‘eliminated’ a patient from a pathway or waiting list. Do you hear whole conversations with no use of the word ‘patient’ when that’s exactly what they’re talking about? #stopcounting #notanumber
Love living in SoBo (Southbourne), things like the ‘SoBo Jumble Stroll’ happen, supported by sobowastebusters.com which is a local initiative to lower our carbon footprint and reduce waste. It’s on Sunday, so go check out your neighbours old stuff! Scan the QR and find me!
I kid you not…. Less than 24 hours later. If they carry on at this rate you’ll be tuning in for the live action ‘Barry & the Beanstalk’ very soon. #plantastic #indoorgarden

What a plantastic end to a fairly mediocre day. Oxalis Triangularis (false shamrock) sprouting to the surface 9 days after planting. #indoorgarden #happyplantshappybarry

I may be biased, but the Eye Emergency team are just excellent. 4 days of increasing pain removed with a tweezer and the deft hand of Jutta! Thank you 🙏 #TeamEyeED @KlepaczMinnie @UHD_NHS
Self care Sunday. And yes, for those of you who may be concerned, I can manage all 4 …. 🍪 #Iamvalued

Overwhelmed by responses to a tweet I posted in the early hours of this morning. I wasn’t looking for anything more than an outlet for my frustration. I got more, from those people that make it better. Thank you 🙏

Great to meet staff and patients at Dorset Health Village with @RobertSyms @UHD_NHS
A new diagnostic centre on top floor of a shopping centre which is helping see people comfortably, conveniently & quickly.
It's initiatives like this that will help us on the #RoadtoRecovery

Exhausted. Week spent rescuing people crushed with workload, protect our patients, teams, capacity and reputation and deliver on targets. I am saved by our amazing team, and good people who know we do our best, but alas, not enough for some. #peoplenotnumbers

Together,anything is possible
When you have to check with Clinical Site because there’s hardly anything on the night report. I hope it lasts just for a while to give the teams a chance for the breather they deserve. @Jo_UHD @UHD_NHS @AbbeyBrelsford #treasurethismoment #happyboxingday
