I found the supermarket trip today quite upsetting. Some with trolleys overloaded And most ( mostly elderly ) unable to find essentials and living week to week . I gave my hand sanitizer to a wee couple and left feeling sad and I can't shake that sadness . #coronavirus

Terrible decision to decorate wards in 40s and 50s style this a dreadful direction @NHSEngland @CNOEngland @SAitke . A calm ,safe kind environment based on what matters to unique individuals is what’s needed .please rethink this direction ..

#NHS hospitals are going back to the future to help patients with dementia by decorating their wards, rooms & corridors in 1940s & 1950s style – creating a calming, familiar environment to help jog memories, reduce anxiety and distress. #NHSLongTermPlan
