Im going to start a petition to ban utility companies from putting up overhead wires within range of any tree. I don’t think I’ve dealt with anything else all shift… 🙄.

Spoken to MH team after they told us they have no S136 beds overnight. Their backup plan is for us to call other trusts to ask for a bed because they ‘have no contract’ with the other trusts so won’t look for alternative places for us! So much for a ‘National’ Health Service….

If you call 999 accidentally please stay on the line and explain that to the BT operator. Either that or actually answer the phone when I try to call you back….In just over an hour I have taken 12 calls, 10 of which have been abandoned calls to 999 😕.

Halloween weekend off to a good start. Nearest custody for my officers has no HCP for the next 24hrs. The next closest is now at capacity. 30-50 minute drive to custody now depending where on the LPA they make an arrest 😬.

The dreaded withheld phone call came this afternoon. Exigency of duty means I am now working extended shifts throughout the weekend. Guess it’s a good thing I didn’t have plans 🤔.

Working 10:00-19:00 today. One of my least favourite shifts as I’m not normally hungry when I get up and I inevitably end up trying to bring in enough food for three meals.

First early back is the worst, think I had about 5hrs sleep last night. I am not a morning person 😫.

Early turn today, first one back. I think the officers are hiding from me. No one calling up and no one booked on yet. Almost like they know I have a stack of jobs from yesterday to hand out… At least I have time to drink my coffee 😁.

Well I’ve been a bit busy recently, between work, moving house and some leave. Probably not the best time to have joined Twitter….Will try to be more active now, sharing what it is like on my side of the radio. Happy to answer any questions about what I actually do 👋🏻.
