👇👇👇 this is why I have a bee in my bonnet about beakers...so often used for convenience, no consideration of the importance of drinking vessels in personhood and in this instance the sheer lack of need to drink soup out a cup. FYI Do not give me a plastic cup to drink from!
It’s all about dignity isn’t it. My dad a headmaster in London for many years and clearly still with all his faculties has been given this for his dinner in hospital. I am ashamed.

New pay offer given to West Midland Bus Drivers 16.2%. Yet they want nurses to accept 5%. It's disheartening to see the nursing profession at the lower end almost every time ! We can't continue like this! @NHSActivistRN @NurseSayNO @Katynurse27 #VoteReject @NHSMillion @TizBroken

We’re trying to get as many followers as Rishi Sunak so we can show the Government just how many people are prepared to fight for the NHS and its staff Please can you help by following us and retweeting this?

We have not done all THIS for a measly, below inflation 5%. This is still a pay cut. We must #SAYNO to this awful offer. Retweet if you agree NHS staff deserve a Fair Deal! #NotSafeNotFair #SOSNHS #NHSStrikes #NHSCrisis

Is it just me or is a 5% pay offer still insulting and the lump sum just a diversionary tactic that the government hope will stop us realising we have been we and truly 💩 on yet again? – at Milton Keynes, England

Nurses will withdraw nursing across all mandated trusts from all clinical areas for 48 hours in March. @SteveBarclay and @RishiSunak can stop this, and only them, by simply agreeing to talk to the RCN. They need to do so now. Retweet if you agree! #NursesStrike #rcnstrike

🕺💃The first set of 'BedDances' to get patients moving in hospital ahead of their discharge have taken place. ‘BedDances’ aim to improve patients' mobility and prevent deconditioning in hospital through creative dance-based exercise sessions accompanied by uplifting music.

I often feel privileged to be a nurse because of my colleagues and patients. But its not a vocation it is a profession. And one that requires a degree. Nurses deserve to be paid in line with other professionals. – at Milton Keynes, England

Watching the funeral on a telephon escreen was never going to work for my ladies, many of whom are the Queens contemparies. But where there's a will there's a way and the team found a solution. #wardthree#funeral#momentous day – at Milton Keynes, England

What a lovely start to the day. Left by our student nurse as a thank you for the support she has had. It's her first ward placement and I think it's fair to say there have been some tough shifts.#ward3 #positivesupport – at Milton Keynes, England

This is behind a paywall so I’ve done you all a favour because @caitlinmoran has a brilliant idea that we all, well me anyway, need.

So proud of " our Lauren". We always knew she was a star but great to know everyone else thinks so too!

Enjoying beautiful steam train journey from Pickering to Whitby. Spoilt only by the couple with FOUR dogs who are keeping up a continuous conversation with them full voice. Why!!!

Is it physically possible to eat a Magnum without getting crumbs of chocolate down your front!!

My husband is close to being deaf. He will be looking forward to mask removal. It's been a brutal 16 months for him.

Sometimes the kindness of others just make you cry. Today I recieved a top up delivery of bags that the Womens Institute make for the property of patients who have died. The love and attention is to detail is huge #humanity

Anyone else remember being a student identified by colour of your petersham belt? "Get the purple belt to do that" oh the excitement of qualifying and being allowed a buckle. Still wear mine with pride ( elasticated nowadays) #nostalgia

I am devastated. I hope it was worth the cost to keep them behind locked doors? #gloriaslaw #gloriahenshall #rightsforresidents (8 of 8)
