Did you know that Osteoporosis affects over 3million people in the UK and accounts for 527,000 fractures per year? Globally, it is a public health issue. I am delighted to join @lydiabonehealth who aim to raise awareness of osteoporosis @GpnNes @DrSarahLuty @GeneralNes

Are you afraid to go out this evening because of the colour of your skin? No? There you go. That’s what is called privilege. Stand by your friends and colleagues who don’t have that. Speak up for them. Use your privilege. Thanks for coming to my #TEDtalk

Never in my life could I have imagined the fear I feel knowing my husband and step son are planning to travel from Scotland to work in Bristol next week. Racial hatred is despicable. Everyone in the UK has the right to live without fear @Kier_Starmer_PM @JohnSwinney @AngelaRayner

Awesome opportunity for GPNs. Top tip: the competition is usually tough - be sure to “sell yourself” in your supporting statement. You know you rock - tell us how much ❤️

The problem isn’t that we have thoughts, but that we engage with them… Thoughts create feelings - which we then navigate our lives around. But they are only thoughts…💙

YOU - yes you that’s reading this right now - matter. Today. And everyday… Don’t ever forget that. Thanks @tommyNtour for reminding me and many health and social care workers of this. You are a star ⭐️

You have two options in life - be your unique authentic self or be someone else… The words of @DollyParton resonated with me tonight - “Find out who you are and do it on purpose…”

I truly believe that everything in life happens for a reason and that one day everything will make perfect sense… But, I seriously do wonder when that day will be. I suppose in the interim I must embrace the confusion and keep noticing & wondering @LynneInnes1

It’s mental health awareness week and I’m being bombarded with emails re the importance of mental health & reaching out if & when I’m not ok. However, in order to reach out I need to feel safe. I need to feel these emails are authentic & not superficial or tokeniskic. I don’t…

When you haven’t visited Fiji in 4 yrs & try to cram it into a month: love is everywhere. It’s palpable, it hasn’t changed - although the world has. The loss is surreal, yet real. The pace is perfect, yet problematic. The people are a gift from God yet unaware. Fiji I ❤️ you
