11am update: have tried to drink tea through my face mask just 7 times so far this morning 😷☕

We are very disappointed to see the inclusion of graphic eating disorder behaviours, self-harm and specific mentions of weight throughout Spencer.

How to be neurotypical: a step by step guide. 1. Ask questions that you do not want truthful answers to.

By the way, it has sold out so should be a great show.

2x tickets for Arab Strap tonight in Bristol at Fiddlers, selling due to illness. £22 face value, selling for £35 for both ONO. These are eTickets. @ArabStrapBand @FiddlersBristol

It has happened! EDI (Clarke 2021) is now live. Experience, Deconstruction, Implementation; a framework for reflective writing for academic intent is now available at The Journal Of Reflective Practice @tandfonline thank you so much for publishing this.

I have recently been diagnosed with PTSD. I'm on the road to recover but that meant I had to leave the job I love. We are no heroes, we are human beings. I've written a blog about my experiences during #COVID19. Please take care of you mental health. https://t.co/JTym4uBLcg

This photo is being wrongly claimed to show an immigration raid. It’s not. It’s the arrest of suspects allegedly involved in human trafficking. And, thanks to the decisions of @pritipatel & her colleagues, if these men are charged they will likely not be tried for several years

I feel #blessed to have so many work friends turned real friends, and exceptionally proud to manage a team who care quite as much as mine do. Not all superheroes wear capes. Nurses keep on saving my life, and I love them. (End)

Big shout outs to the Uro nurses, Gynae nurses, GPNs and Chronic Pain Clinic nurses who have dragged me through the last few months. The biggest shout out, always, to the Mental Health nurses (and honorary nurses!!) who keep on keeping me, and countless others, going. (Cont.)

I am really lucky to have been on the receiving end on some of this human kindness and there are no words to say just what it means. (Cont.)

Inconveniently, nursing is also a great deal of paperwork, but we won't talk about that. (Cont.)

One of the reasons I love my job so much are those tiny human connections with people when they are going through something unbearable and, for a few seconds, helping to ease some of the pain, fear and isolation. Nursing is sharing a cuppa, a smile, some humour, a hug. (Cont.)

I'm spending #NursesDay2021 being a patient. After years of chronic pain, I got my first diagnosis in 2016. Over the last few months, things have been getting progressively worse and I'm back in a stream of outpatient appointments trying to find out what else is going on (Cont.)

Meghan Markle is so powerful

Yesterday I tweeted concerns about the use of the SIM model that has been implemented across many NHS mental health trust and planned across more. Having looked at information in the public domain I have some concerns about why and how this service model is being introduced

This is so powerful. If you don't already follow @CaraLisette, you really should do. Thank you for sharing, you incredible person.

I've taken a bit of a break from Twitter over the last few weeks. I'm definitely reaching my limit for how much additional stress, worry and misinformation I can cope with having directed into my eyes from screens over the course of a day.

I cannot remember a week at work this hard. To anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers and the inept Tory government, your ignorance is perpetuating a pandemic that is costing far more lives than the death toll in acute hospitals. There is blood on your hands. #Covid19UK #angrynurse #CAMHS

Can't wait to see how soon that extra £350mil/week gets to us 🤞💰
