Spotting red flags early can save someone from years of pain. Controlling behavior, constant criticism, and isolating you from loved ones are just the beginning. What would you add to this list? #KnowTheSigns #AbuseAwareness

@sharrond62 Parkrun?!? WTF? Since when did Parkrun become competitive sport? From their website: "parkrun is positive, welcoming and inclusive, there is no time limit and no one finishes last. Everyone is welcome to come along."

I’m making my own list of text abbreviations (or initialisms) for more middle-aged, British people, like me. This is what I have so far. Hopefully they’ll catch on. Let me know what you’d add.

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS. I think this is a national scandal. Please RT if you do too 🙏
In this interview with @skynewsniall, Dr Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) emphasises the need to prioritise quality end of life care. Regardless of Parliament's decision on assisted dying, fixing the funding of our struggling hospice and end of life care system is essential.

Will your organisation move beyond putting out comms pictures of their SAS doctors by making a meaningful pledge to act like @BHRUT_NHS and @NorthumbriaNHS by supporting #SASsix for #SASWeek24 14-18 October? Actions speak louder. @theSAScollect et al.
Congratulations to @BHRUT_NHS, another NHS Trust who announced today that they are supporting #SASsix. Doing the right thing for their doctors, fuelled by our @thesascollect power. 👏@bumblebeenush( their SAS doctor Associate Medical Director for Critically Ill patients)

Spot on, @AdamMGrant When a leader doesn’t hear about problems, it rarely means there aren’t any. Instead, it signals that people don’t feel comfortable speaking up. This is why #PsychologicalSafety is so critical for fostering healthy and honest communication
What stops us from speaking truth to power is not a desire for harmony. It’s a climate of fear and futility. When leaders fail to make it safe and worthwhile to be honest, we bite our tongues. Weak leaders stifle dissent and leave themselves weaker. Strong leaders welcome
