Had a phenomenal day watching @DrRobgalloway sculpt the new human factors course for @UHSussex - amazing work, mdt and very collaborative. Also made me realise I still can’t count and where sensory inputs fail or are fooled - thank you Rob

The first part of solving a problem is being aware of it The second is owning it The third is meaningful action I’ve always been proud of when I’ve had the courage to speak up - and ashamed of the times I haven’t Most of the time - once you speak you’ll find you’re not alone
It's completely normal to feel hesitant about voicing your thoughts or concerns. Remember that speaking up is a courageous act, and your voice matters #ftsu #speakup

Dear @avivaplc Never have I felt so disabled as trying to talk to a real person through your web of chat bots and automated phone answering services Absolutely appalling experience and still didn’t manage to talk to a human #disgustedandfrustrated

I’ve always been fascinated by James Barry since I read a medical history book that outlined Barry’s amazing achievements - especially when I heard that they had an altercation with Florence Nightingale… irishamerica.com/2018/11/wil… But the Barry building was named after Charles 🤦‍♂️

I guess finally it’s about fairness and recognition of service It’s not about diminishing FN’s legacy - but there is room for Barry too It’s easy to ignore eccentrics - but often it is the 5% outside “accepted norms” who change the world Or - “have a different point of view”

Finally The 195-year-old Barry Building, ? The oldest acute hospital building still in use in England, is being demolished Those who forget history are doomed to repeat its mistakes Could the new building be the “James Barry” building? #forthe5%
