Struggling to get my head around how some folk think ‘migrants’ are not people, like any of us. My parents came from Sri Lanka in ‘76, as you say luckily no lorry/dingy. Both taught in the U.K. till they retired, both their kids are now NHS consultants. ‘Migrants’ matter
Well that was EPIC!! @GreenDay @wembleystadium absolutely smashed it!! 2 & a half hours of non stop amazing music, old and new!! 🤩 A night our family won't forget! 10yo said it was the best night of his life & 12 yo burst into tears at the start - 'happy tears mummy!!'
Kiran sooo excited to see @GreenDay tomorrow @wembleystadium !!
The neighbours get a selection of Green day tracks at 7:30 before school every morning 🙈😂
He never thought he'd get to hear Dookie or American Idiot live, it's going to be amazing!!
A patient on ward 19 @STSFTrust received bad news this week. Yesterday she had a lovely bath & Indian head massage from our amazing HCAs Demi & Sue.
Like all wards we're so stretched but even under these pressures our amazing healthcares go above & beyond for our patients. 🥰
Another stunning morning in the Bay 😍Quick walk before work to clear the cobwebs. #WhitleyBay
Happy international nurses day to nurses everywhere but especially the amazing nurses I work with @STSFTrust. @Ward19STFT team you are all my heroes, I feel lucky to work with all of you ❤️
Thank you too @Thompa1979 & @DebraCheetham who keep me going with our #falls work!
Obergurgl. Perfect blue skies for skiing. Strudel and custard at the end of the day...Might not come back!

“Nobody signed up for this...It’s obscene.”
NHS staff are forced to examine patients in store cupboards and on hospital corridors, by holding up sheets.
A neurosurgeon describes the effect that providing "the worst A&E care he has seen" is having on colleagues.
@GlobalPlayer.
Yesterdays GIM on call @STSFTrust was predictably challenging (read horrendous...) So much flu, pneumonia, older adults waiting in A&E for over 24hrs. 😞
So tough on everyone. Find it harder after each shift to wind down - knitting & family time on the beach today in order 😊
Lack of hot food available to staff after 11am @STSFTrust didn't make life any easier for us all 😞
Coffee shop not open either
The basics are even more important at the moment to make staff feel valued. I know there are colleagues working hard trying to get this sorted so 🤞🏽

I’ve worked in A&E for 22 years & seen nothing like this before.
The NHS is in a critical state. We need urgent action for sake of our staff & patients.
@SteveBarclay @RishiSunak we need you to listen to those who know what’s happening.
To get them to listen, pls retweet
Merry Christmas and thank you to all the staff working this long holiday weekend @STSFTrust - it's so so tough at the moment - think this card from a colleague pretty much says it all! 🎅🏼🎄

‘We strike for the future of the NHS.’
The largest strike in RCN history starts today, as nursing staff in England, Northern Ireland and Wales demand fair pay and patient safety.

From dawn until dusk, in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, you’ve braved sub-zero temperatures to make the case for fair pay and patient safety.
You tell us the public support is overwhelming.
Thank you.
Together, we will win.

Remember the clapping? That doesn’t pay the bills! Nurses are not Angels, they are highly trained and skilled professionals working under extreme pressure without the pay they deserve. The Tories should hang their heads in shame that we have come to this! #NursesStrike

Hi Suba, this is your weekly well-being delivery courtesy of @STSFTrust - we will be delivering every week across the Trust to help support our staff… we know how tough it is at the moment and want to do all we can to help, we really appreciate everyone’s hard work x
The medical/nursing teams on EAU at South Tyneside for the day/night shifts were amazing. Superheroes.
Thank you to all the nurses esp sisters Nikki & Katie for running a mini HDU; Amy & Andy the amazing med regs; Chan, Aziz, Sia, Jain, Tom & David the brilliant juniors 👏🏽👏🏽
Really challenging 2 days on call for medicine @STSFTrust
So much flu, lots of critically unwell patients & at least 2 older adults coming in with severe hypothermia - one lady restricting heating due to rising costs 😞
