Going to take a few weeks off here. Probably will stay silent after that. Please DM me if to want to chat and carry on engaging or message me on 07890 696291. Nay not be back. Dx
Very appreciative of @SwanseabayNHS plastics and burns unit colleagues care today.. Absolutely amazing and compassionate care for my daughter. Recovering well after her small operation. Diolch x
Some phenomenal shots and hole outs this afternoon @TheSolheimCup. What an amazing weekend of golf. Both teams seem really close and united, the standards are sublime and the rivalry but respect to each other also brilliant. The atmosphere sounds great too
The WG NHS plan won't work: 1) clear the waiting lists - how do we do that with a woefully inadequate workforce? WLI's are costly and we don't want them... We are shattered/burnt out doing more than we are paid for already. 2) Digital transformation - our printers don't work 🤨
Another fantastic two days at the Senior Leadership Development programme @HEIW_NHS with amazing talks on organisational structure and culture, wellbeing and psychological safety. No easy fixes when so many actively resist change but being part of an amazing cohort is inspiring
Atgofion galed i siarad am ond pwysig dysgu gwersi a cynllunio yn well am y pandemig nesaf. Hard to recall and relive some of the memories of the pandemic but so important we learn from the mistakes (and good decisions) of COVID to plan for future pandemics

Learning this week: When you are stressed, don't take it out on anyone, but especially the ones who care and work their hardest. A job is a job with so many external influencers that you will never change the world... Look after your patients, your team, your family, yourself
I hope they have sufficient defibs, hrombolysis, B blockers and Diazepam in the long room because the members must be having multiple MI's, CVA's, palpitations and panic attacks watching their sacred grass being destroyed and danced on and around 🤦♂️🤣 #thehundred @SkyCricket
For those who like my out of office messages 11 hours left on call then out of office, out and away. Having spoken to friend and colleagues throughout this week I don't think we have know a more relentless period in the NHS, worse than the pandemic. Rest and self care needed 🥺

Free to a good home. One previous owner who no longer wants to be in possession of it every on call... 7 on calls in 8 days... 7 GI bleeds OOH and food bolus. Available in 17 hours time
Some useful tools to self assess and friend assess. Sadly nothing will change in the NHS despite us talking about this more and more but at least you can join the club/ you tick the boxes then carry on working yourself into the ground even more 👍
When you are told at job planning you can't possibly be doing admin after 5pm and definitely not at midnight 🤨

It’s defeat in the final for us against the hosts - Morlais Castle. That was definitely one for the history books! Congratulations to Morlais on a fantastic win and tournament showing what valleys golf is capable of & well done to our boys on a fantastic weekend as well!🏴⛳️
One thing you never get taught or prepared for during medical training is being on call as a consultant. I've been rewarded with a certain medal many times but this weekend, the magnet really has been switched on for bleeds in CTM 😳 scoping is rewarding, the waiting is horrible
Immensely proud of this team + club. I'm lucky enough to live 5 minutes from the 1st tee + several holes look over the village where I live. I'm probably amongst the worst golfers who are a member at the club but the welcome and camaraderie is second to none. Enjoy the night all
🏆 Champions🏆
Our hosts, @morlaiscastlegc beat a strong field to win the 2024 Welsh Men’s Team Championship!
Congratulations!
