Just a little bit emotional today….. cleared my digital and real (old school!) files. Packed up some personal stuff, briefly enjoyed a rare empty in-box and the support of my right hand woman of the past 11 years 🥲 Bye bye Westport its been a whole lot of fun!!!
Unacceptable on every level. Let’s get serious about supporting the mental health of NHS and social care staff #woundedhealer24

1/3 of NHS staff are affected by #burnout or mental distress. This adversely affects their performance and increases medical errors.
Wellbeing of healthcare workforce improves patient care.

@doctor_oxford Dr Rachel Clarke opening up the reality of NHS staff’s experience of COVID and the lasting trauma to staff.
Powerful and terrifying in equal measure.
