@DrNeenaJha Such an incredibly kind gesture!
You obviously chose well and they felt they knew you well too 🥰

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@gaswomancometh It really did make so many of us question and reflect 🤗
So important to take time to heal, things look so different once you do!
I believe the NHS requires a renewed approach and alternative vision to overcome so many hurdles it faces 🧐

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@JDF_Keswick @NHSEngland Wow that’s unbelievable 🫣

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@BlondiieMama It’s such a nuisance, especially when cycling, using brakes etc!
The only thing I do is drink plenty of water and have limited salt intake!
It supposedly helps, but I find the warm weather makes it worse 🤔

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@BlondiieMama I react like that too 🫣
Mine often take on more of a ‘dot to dot’ appearance 😳

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@CB_cycles Bay cycles Torquey highly recommended, not sure how far from you though? Exeter 🤔mentioned?!

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@DouglasNatusch Congratulations, well deserved I’m sure 🤗

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@jessphillips Oh my goodness, my husband has decided the same and is also hoovering 😆

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@DrNeenaJha 🫣😡

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@DrNeenaJha @KHoulgate Oh my goodness, can’t believe that Paramedic said that 🫣
The old adage that scares myself and my husband, 30 + years in NHS for me and 40 for my husband, is that they ‘don’t know what they don’t know’
As Healthcare Professionals we compliment the Drs, not instead of!!!

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@BlondiieMama How exciting, enjoy 😍

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@Peston I feel optimistic for the first time in many years, that the govt chosen will provide much longed for stability and common sense!!

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@Peston The first step, as far as I can see, is the acknowledgment of the mammoth task ahead. Concerns re the use of private companies are valid, however this has been happening insidiously for years! We need a govt with a duty of candour and not taking it’s electorate for fools!!

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

Have woken up this morning full of optimism for our great country’s future 🇬🇧

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@BlondiieMama That’s assuming they got through the A and E doors 🫣 Not still waiting in ambulances outside!!
Wonder what the calculations would be then?! 🥹
Although appreciate it did say ‘in A and E’ 🤔

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@BlondiieMama That was most definitely a lesson on how to play football 😍

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@DrNeenaJha I also lay blame with those most in a position to air their concerns!
Those in positions of authority, ie Consultants, senior clinicians, senior Nurses etc, surely have a duty of care?
This is happening in so many localities, am sure not just Torbay?

[Amanda hooper 💙 @Amandah91473333]

@DrNeenaJha Having been on the receiving end at the beginning of the year, OGD performed by a PA!
Saw a Consultant recently to discuss findings and was very clearly frustrated by the lack of detail on the scope photos! Remarking that a more experienced Clinician would have been helpful 🫣
