7yrs ago today I left @uhpnhs.bsky.social after 3mths and fighting for my life.

It still feels like yesterday...& every day I am so grateful to EVERY part of #TeamNHS

As time moves on the memories remain vivid. You never forget.

Make the most of every day, search for the blue skies.....

Another busy, fabulous year has been had.

It's time to sign off and decompress.

I wish you all a lovely Christmas, however you choose to spend.

Seasons Greetings πŸŽ„

I am looking forward to talking at this conference today with @hcuknews.bsky.social

It's important to keep sharing experiences & to continue raising awareness,especially as I'm now also a patient safety partner volunteer!

A tricky volunteer shift today but overwhelmingly made better by taking a long stay patient to the garden.

We shared our love of big band music, I told him about my saxophone, and we listened to the BBC big band on my Spotify.

It was quite perfect πŸ₯°

Happy Friday all....

Her biggest lesson for the critical care community?

β€œLook beyond the patient”

Think about their support networks, their environment…

The things that make their life worth living.

Satisfaction with the #NHS is at a record low. πŸ“‰

Our analysis with @thekingsfund.bsky.social shows people want the NHS to do what it says on the tin: health care free at the point of use, available to all and without having to wait unacceptably long to get it.

Today I shadowed a lovely member of our #ICU #Psychology team

It was great to see how well supported some of our most vulnerable patients are & reassuring to discover that I'm saying the right things to patients I see!

Looking forward to learning more πŸ‘Š

Thanks for all your great work @rehablegendlou.bsky.social I don't know if you saw it, but we've recently published guidance on Delirium ics.ac.uk/resource/gui...

World Delirium Awareness Day 2025 Today is World Delirium Awareness Day and this year’s theme is β€˜Clear Minds: Raising Delirium Awareness’ Let’s do this! I’m not going to quote facts and figures. I want to, …

"The impact of Delirium was massive and continues to be an almost constant piece of baggage in my life"

As #WDAD2025 comes to an end, I share with you a blog post that I hope touches on this year's theme of raising awareness...

Keep banging the drum πŸ˜‰

Today, I took a patient outside for the first time in their stay. That is always a massive privilege for me.

We talked through some struggles & they felt relieved.

Sometimes,all that's needed is a conversation with the right person
