Thank you @lucyaadam and @sicsmembers for inviting me to speak and for organising such a great session. It was incredible to see so much emphasis on PICS and the MDT approach in talks and posters at this years conference. #SICS23
#SICS2023 Great breakout session to finish the annual meeting covering physical, psychological and social elements of PICS. Thanks to Mr Richard Steven @nhsfife, Dr Maggie Cunningham @FifeHSCP and @HelenJordan85 for their thought provoking presentations.

It says a lot about the last few months when I see this book and think “oh wow I really need this advice” before realising it is very much a joke book….. 😭

The health secretary Steve Barclay says that the NHS is often too risk-averse to introduce new technology to help patients, pledging to take on the “vested interests” blocking change thetimes.co.uk/article/healt…

The more I think about it, the more I feel we should start again with Parliament. Have a modern building, electronic voting, office hours, decent childcare, no on-site bars. Governing this country is too important for it to be treated like a 'gentlemen's' club.

I keep reading seeing talks advertised at conferences on Imposter Syndrome. It feels a little like telling people to just be more resilient. Can we not change the system instead? Lets be more inclusive, more welcoming, less resistant to change.

This would make a huge difference to our work area and ICU @riecriticalcare
The office has had a makeover! Thank you to Paula O’Malley in the healing arts team @LivHospitals and our VIC colleagues Marie Pearce and Louisa Morris for making this possible. We miss the window but this makes it feel sunny even in February.

Yesterday I worked a 12.5hr shift in ICU. Staff are no longer allowed to park on site so I had to go to the park and ride. I arrived at 9.30pm, I was alone, it was dark, there were groups of young men in their cars. I never want to be in that situation again 😢 @NHS_Lothian
