World Sepsis Day
I am one of the extremely lucky ones. I survived sepsis, ICU and almost being dead.
Raise awareness, know the symptoms

1. They haven't been called STDs for years. They are STIs.
2. It's quiet a leap to assume sex workers don't use condoms
3. Incorrect assumption that Drs are judgemental about STIs I worked in sexual health for nearly 20 years and no staff were judgemental.
@Hiphopocrates
This.Just this. I deal with a lot of elderly people with memory issues.A yr waiting list to be seen now.During which time they decline further +it's another 12 months without meds as we can't prescribe without psychiatric assessment.Strain on individuals and families is immense
I can't over stress what a kind and wonderful human Paul was
I worked with him for 3 years in HIV/HEP MDTs and i know if i was his patient i would've felt respected +understood.He was so clever+giving
This is a tragedy for him,his family and the profession
And in other news ,and categorised as things even more exciting to wear than my Masters gown, this arrived.
To be modelled later
100 volunteers, 32 of them as RD, rest giving all the other roles a go.

The best one I saw was transcript from one of our communitt meetings where "peripatetic matrons" was translated to "very pathetic matrons"
I am a matron ๐คฃ
13 years ago today I was given hours to live. Guess what sepsis , you didnt win.
Every 5th July is a special day.
Thank you my previous employers

I never did any kind of blanket announcemen when I was diagnosed as I sense a general cynicism and almost weariness about neurodivergnce . Those that matter know other wise I just don't tell people as I expect the " It's fashionable " response. Sadly
@NazShahBfd
Goodness no. This is a public health emergency. We have to do what epidemiologists suggest before anyone else and if the safety evidence is cremation then we must abide
@CliveSmith3000
@DrNeenaJha
If you believe pen pushers achieve nothing then it would be meaningless to raise it with them surely?
Managers also work hard they aren't pen pushers but clinicians are at breaking point +posting publicly means the truth is told as the govt lie and say the NHS isn't on its knees
@DrLindaDykes
The phrase "Lunch and learn"
I appreciate a lot of staff dont get breaks due 2 workload
But when they do,asking them to attend training on it isn't ok
How about staff are allowed breaks where they switch off from work
Lunch and learn sounds like trying to Enid Blyton a situation
@smoph_star
It's so hard.Remember my 1st one in 1982 as student nurse, I remember his full name and had washed and chatted to him an hour before. He didn't survive. LOcked myself in my room in halls all night I was so upset . We had no debriefing. I hope you have support,this stuff is tough
@meisbillybobdog
You are behaving like an awful human being
This is none of your business
You are also publishing other peoples' kids
You are propagating potential lies
I am not the only one reporting this
I'd suggest taking it down as it will eventually be removed anyway +/- your twitter ban
@StarlingCurve
@Least_ordinary
We are all different .
If I were a relative of a dying patient I would hve more confidence not less if a Dr cried.
Like I say we are all different.
I have cried with dying patients as a nurse. Many times in 30 years .
I am not sure we can alter our emotions so easily
I had one of the shittest weeks of my life last week. Lost sight of who I was. Got sent this card, so woke up last Monday determined this week would be better. Ran 71 miles, saw a lot of nature. I survived a not quite as shit week. Legs barely speaking to me but that's ok.
@davidjrosenberg
I dont agree with it.But i support Starmer in other aspects. I also suppprted Corbyn in some things.
It doesnt have to be Corbyn style OR Starmer style..
Labour supporters need to stop being so polarised, it won't help overthrow Tories.
We need positivity and to be united.
Today was very special
I got to welcome people back to racing with Saltaire Striders.
Our Bradford Millennium Way relay happened, so lovely to see so many happy runners. 65 teams ran and all on a glorious sunny day
Welcome back indeed

She is identifying as female not " trans identifying male ".
parkrun is a free event not a race, not a competition.
No one needs to attend parkrun if they don't agree.
I never consider my position I only ever compare myself to me not others.

I am so sorry to read this. This is utterly toxic and the hospital management really needs to rethink.
Do you feel able to escalate this?
Am sure the CEO would not support this culture .
Don't be afraid to escalate . Freedom to speak put guardians are there for this.
Take care
@Parody_RCGP
Christ.I'm an ACP+ never think like this
Explain my role as "nurse by trade+have done extra training so I can do things like assess diagnose and prescribe" but I always tell pts they can see a Dr+ that I ask for medical advice if not sure.We're dutybound to tell patients our role

@drphiliplee1
So...Loads of people who work in sexual health are expert contact tracers. I did it for 20 years, I trained people in how to do it. I know my stuff.Applied to test and trace for some hours,was told I don't have enough experience.But yes sexual health staff could sort this out
@helen_barnowl
@andycorneys
Don't even talk to me about Test and Trace. I applied , they told me I didn't have enough experience. I did contact tracing for 20 years in my previous job. 20 years!!!! I trained people in how to do it.
The best way to get over a broken engagement is to book a December 2021 holiday to The Canaries and to buy yourself a stunning handmade

HNY Thank you
It's midnight,am now 50yrs old
How did that happen?in my head I am but 27,fannying about on Turkish +Greek holidays drinking cocktails called "Sperm of the Barman" and looking seriously bikini hot
Still,now I haven't got long on my mortgage + can make a cracking homemade soup
I have been quiet because I have been recovering from bonkersness it's taken probably a full year, and I have also been training uber hard for London Marathon. If you want to support our mental health services take a look at what they do here.
If you had told me 8 days ago I would manage a run today, I wouldn't have believed you.
I was rock bottom,
not wanting to be here.Friends baby sat me,fed me,let me stay over and home mental health team are helping
There is always a reason to carry on
#onefootinfrontoftheother
@muddyvee
Let people be happy they have done their fastest time and did it with no crowd support or water. That takes a lot.What someone else tweets about their time doesn't detract from our own successes.These are tough times for all, we can all be kind and supportive to one another
I rarely mention my girls here
So proud of the young women they are becoming.
One off to Uni to do history who will end up as a journalist/politician anyway. One off to 6th form who wants to do medicine .Still messy knobbers with their bedrooms, but they're ok so they are
@DrBenLovell
@KK_medicine
I would suggest the nurse was inexperienced at both sexual health matters and communicating with colleagues. 20 yrs nursing in sexual health you have to adjust language to the individual or they dont understand you or relate to you /trust you as a professional
@HagleyTom1234
@BBCBreaking
That, with respect, is utter bollocks. Try yelling that to the district nurses I work with who are cobtracting it in higher numbers. Try telling that to the family of one of my patients who died from Covid when she wasnt near anyone with symptoms.
@Clareylang
no , as a runner I would expect to give way. We are the ones with more power if there is a collision so onus is on us to be safe. Assuming walkers should move is what gives runners a bad reputation particularly at the beginning of Covid when we thought outspread spread was a risk
Fab morning
@Bradfordparkrun
Linda's 50th and everyone in W Yorks who knows her who seemed to be there

So, today we got to see my Mum and stepdad for the first time since Dec 2019. We did Christmas 2020, she has kept the tree up waiting for us to go. There were huge teary hugs.
How lucky we are no one in our family had covid
we are blessed
I am a nurse, I have also had my life saved by the NHS.
I am on page 35
So far its cry a chapter, laugh a chapter, cry a chapter, laugh a chapter
Thanks

I have just going to the till and said
" I haven't got any fuel, just this please "
Which was very helpful , I am sure, for the staff in Sainburys Express, which is not infact a petrol station .
