I had no idea about this #Emergency function on #iPhone until now. We shouldn’t need to know about it but unfortunately we do. #staysafe

In other words, a real terms pay-cut in 2021/22 when you factor in the inflation rate. This is outrageous & does not recognise the work of NHS workers, who have worked tirelessly during the pandemic and put their own health & well-being at risk. https://t.co/0jVgrAkIGX

On Friday I got to do some proper #rehab for what feels like the first time in months - a shower assessment, goal setting & a heart to heart about time in ICU & family pressures - proper #occupationaltherapy , that was a good day 🥲💚

Wow, what a great idea ! “I’m new here” badges - love this idea. I think it’s particularly hard at the moment w/ everyone wearing scrubs as you also can’t tell roles & there’s frequent redeployment.

@uclh it really is the little things. I think we need to get these badges at GOSH!! I felt so so welcomed by your adult ITU team even though you’re all under such immense pressure. Amazing group of humans. @Gosh_Nursing @BBMNursing @SkywardGOSH

Sick of #COVID19 being used as an excuse. @puccinos yet another example of refusing to take #reusable coffee cups - why? Your staff have access to sinks to wash hands. Customers have to hold cups that your staff have just touched. You’re adding to the #waste issue. #reduce #reuse

When the GP tells you off for missing their call when they called early & then continues to rant about how their time is very important to the extent that they’re wasting the remaining time of the appointment 🤦🏼‍♀️ got the message after the first repetition 😂 consider me told 🙄

The thing is @WeAHPs don’t hold grudges & when we see an opportunity to educate the ill informed we take it So @DailyMailUK and @cjsnowdon here’s what we’ve been up to during the #COVID19 pandemic ⬇️ AHPs, #Opticians and all others in our NHS Family please add your examples ⬇️

#AHPs are essential to the successful running of health & social care services. Thank you to all the AHPs out there who go above & beyond on a daily basis. Poisonous & ignorant reporting simply attempts to ignite a fire for which there is no fuel - we stand united as AHPs 🤝💚
