As much as 80% of the knowledge in an organisation is undocumented. That's why networks, communities of learning/practice & sharing conversations are often more effective than good practice repositories/portals, metadata or search systems: nickmilton.com/2021/11/why-y… TY @nickknoco

We are living in pretty wild times. Self care, resources for mental health and looking after yourself are really important. So I have made a little self care guide of stuff which has helped me. Go to my website you should see a pop up and I will email it: heardinlondon.com

We call on the publishers of children's magazines to remove plastic giveaways from all covers. Cheap and disposable plastic eye-catchers kill land, oceans and people. Great mags shouldn't need them @EgmontUK @RedanPublishing @NatGeo please, please help us. Retweet if you agree.

The Shoe Tree in my local park has been shortlisted for @WoodlandTrust 'Tree Of The Year'. There's a lot of other fancy trees on that list, but none of those trees have ANY shoes on them and I know my tree would be very happy if you voted for it. woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-w…
Replying to @WendyPMitchell
@WendyPMitchell ‘we need to normalise dementia research’ asking people if they want to take part in research people may say no, asking people if they want to help make dementia to look different now and in the future, more people may say yes #chatathon

Some good news to break the cycle of bad: My friend’s Mum who had suspected coronavirus is on the mend. The father of one of my staff’s test came back negative after having been hospitalised with symptoms last week. A friend’s cat that had been missing for >5 weeks was found.

Today my 82 year old friend had the hospital security team called to him because he was frightened, confused, frustrated, bored & not listened to... sorry, I mean he was ‘aggressive’. This is what hospital stays for people living with #dementia can look like. Devastating 😔😪💔 – at Sheffield, England
