Clinical staff have been rightly praised over the last few months.
But please also remember those working behind he scenes.
Like the hundreds of IT staff who keep hospital systems running and ensure clinical staff receive your test results.
Please spare a RT for all of them.
As you enjoy a sunny Saturday with your family and friends, please spare a RT for all the NHS staff who will be working today.
This includes members of our team like Katie below, a children’s doctor from Leeds.
Good example - I eat boringly healthily and don’t drink. Not a single bit of sugar has passed my lips in a long time except for the odd bit of dark chocolate. Being bigger doesn’t mean people are scoffing their faces. And if weight gain is caused by that - still no shame.
Lest this helps anyone: I’ve put on 40 pounds. I want to lose it as I feel less me. And it’s vital to be audaciously free to be ourselves. But whilst I reside in a bigger body I will not feel shame.There are many complex reasons for weight gain and losing it can be hard for many.
As someone's health cannot be determined merely by sight, it is not up to you to choose who gets to feel positive about themselves and who doesn't. Someone's weight does not lessen their worth or deservedness of love, respect and positivity.
I'M SO SICK OF THIS. Invalidating our feelings, and more than that, our truth. I get the same- a push back and then when I politely explain things in a well thought out way (COS I HAVE LIVED IT FOR 34 YEARS) I receive silence at best, anger at worst. & v.little support. Boring.
Today we announce #Connect, a series of online panel discussions, that we hope will be an invaluable tool for professional and personal development for writers who identify as women https://t.co/Lv3AQWOHiB 1/5
