Great evening with @alexbunten @WatersmeetVenue listening to the very funny @rustyrockets. Should I give the biscuits to the kids 🤷‍♀️ 🤔

@DrAngelChater So sorry to hear this. Hope you feel better really soon and make a full recovery. ❤️‍🩹

According to the WHO Covid may have killed 80k-180k health workers. Let’s do all we can to get our frontline healthcare workers vaccinated worldwide. https://t.co/A46mje8SH5

Tell me again that govt policy is not mass infection of kids.

No masks, no bubbles, no isolation of contacts, late CO2 monitors, late vaccination...

Record numbers of kids off school with Covid just two weeks into term. 1/3

@mike_t_sanders So beautifully written about something so utterly brutally devastating. You have such a wonderful way with words articulating experiences many people simply cannot. Thank you for being so brave sharing this, putting out this stark reminder there is so much more to be done.

@kevwilsonsmith1 @divhealthpsych @APADivision38 @HealthPsyScot @GCUHealthPsych @HealthPsychX There is also ongoing work by @divhealthpsych to develop a funding model to support health psych trainees in England. Public Health is a fantastic place for trainees to develop and demonstrate their competencies in research, training, consultancy & behaviour change @DrAngelChater

[Dr Amanda Bunten @AmandaKBunten]

@kevwilsonsmith1 @divhealthpsych @APADivision38 @HealthPsyScot @GCUHealthPsych @HealthPsychX Thank you @kevwilsonsmith1 It’s great to see more health psychologists working in public health helping to tackle some of our biggest challenges. The @BSPHNetwork has been fantastic at connecting public health professionals with behavioural and social scientists.

As a female and a mother I cannot imagine the terror as you see your daughter’s future and freedom being taken away. We must support those seeking safety and security. #HumanRights #Afganistan https://t.co/2dyODiIJEo

COVID Preventive behaviours only work if the majority of us do them together. Knowing what, how and when along with practical support is vital. #COM-B #behaviourchange | Coronavirus | The Guardian https://t.co/C9lQun4vbr

@bt_uk I’m sat in my car messaging you this 2 miles away from my home as I have no internet access or mobile signal. @bt_uk @OpenreachHelp I can’t spend another 1 hour of my life on hold waiting to speak to an operator. Horrendous customer service. Shocked as a loyal customer for years.

[Dr Amanda Bunten @AmandaKBunten]

We moved house on 6th May and booked in advance an instalment of fibre to the property to be connected on 7th May. We are still without any internet connection or mobile signal. Appalling customer service. Trust broken. @bt_uk @btgroup @OpenreachHelp @WeAreOpenreach

[Dr Amanda Bunten @AmandaKBunten]

@bt_uk We are begging advised earliest they can book us in now is 6th June?! How is this acceptable?! One whole month with no access at all?! Please sort this out. @MoneyTelegraph @skyUK you must be able to help if @bt_uk and @OpenreachHelp can’t get an engineer to connect us?!

[Dr Amanda Bunten @AmandaKBunten]

@bt_uk Yes Kevin we have a case manager called Richard as of two days ago who guaranteed our engineer would be with us tomorrow. We hadn’t received a confirmation email so I prompted my husband to call and check after an hour on hold he finds out it was never booked into the system!

[Dr Amanda Bunten @AmandaKBunten]

@SkyUK can you help?!

[Dr Amanda Bunten @AmandaKBunten]

We have no mobile signal so can’t even access 3G or 4G we are completely cut off apart from having a land line. Please help. Both my husband and I need to work from home and this is affecting our livelihoods. @bt_uk @WeAreOpenreach @openreachhelp @moneytelegraph

[Dr Amanda Bunten @AmandaKBunten]

@OpenreachHelp We don’t have a fault we moved house and scheduled being connected to fibre weeks in advance for the day after we moved. Customer services have failed to get us any connection. We have been without any internet since 6th May. @MoneyTelegraph @bt_uk @Weareopenreach

[Dr Amanda Bunten @AmandaKBunten]

Does anyone work for or know anyone that works for BT or Open Reach? We’ve had failure after failure to get an engineer out to connect us to the fibre. We have been without any internet access since 6th May. Please help 🙏 @bt_uk @BTGroup @WeAreOpenreach @OpenreachHelp
