@carriekirby43@enherts It really, really has. Change is always challenging, but this week has been transformative, people are even starting to smile again. This is important work! And yes, you know I know you have great insight 🤣 we will always work together to bring out the best in each other 😊
Harrowing words from a senior emergency medicine doctor showing the despair at not being able to provide the level of care every doctor hopes to for their patients. Every doctor, nurse & HCW can empathise with this right now.

Tories gave nurses a £1,400 pay rise at the same time as reintroducing car parking fees of £1,300 per year.
Those same Tory MPs gave themselves a £2,200 pay rise and get their car parking for free.
Hypocrites.
Nurses work 12hr shifts; sell their days off; use food banks; pay £1300 a year to park. And 40,000 have left their jobs in a year.
Tory MPs sit for 150 days; get subsidised food; claim travel & energy on expenses; get free parking & £2,200 pay rises.
Back the nurses please.
Our long term #covidsurvivor pt communicating with his new eye gaze. The joy in his face when communicating with his family has made my Christmas. This is why I’m a nurse. ❤️ Posted with permission. @SteveBarclay it’s the small things #NHS@theRCN
So, @SteveBarclay has suggested to the media today that giving nurses pay rises will "take money away from frontline NHS services".
NURSES ARE FRONTLINE NHS SERVICES.
