Ex-RN. Recently qualified as an occupational therapist, looking forward to starting my new career, which will hopefully include working with veterans.

We have published new guidance for recording COVID-19 information, which will support better monitoring and treatment for people, as well as providing data for future research. https://t.co/CRsKkGJXST

@Cavalry_Chopper So sorry, mate.

[Andrew Millard @AndyMillard67]

@Tankslider I genuinely think he might be unwell. I’ve never liked the man, but I’m fairly certain even he wouldn’t do something like this.

[Andrew Millard @AndyMillard67]

Absolutely. Would have been nice to acknowledge that this applies equally to the @RoyalNavy and @RoyalAirForce - it’s not just a @BritishArmy thing!

NHS view in the BMJ from working with the Army; ‘if you have forgotten something or made an error, they are not phased: the attitude is one of problem solving not blame. They are very good at just making it happen…’

@fairycakepixie I fear you may have failed to provide the standard of service expected. I find Dreamies or tuna gain rapid forgiveness.

[Andrew Millard @AndyMillard67]

@Cavalry_Chopper Couldn’t agree more.

[Andrew Millard @AndyMillard67]

Pub. Need pub.

@doc_bipolar Again, I’m so sorry that you had to leave a vocation you loved. I truly hope you can now find peace, happiness and safety as a primary teacher (although I guess the former might be difficult with 5 year olds!).

[Andrew Millard @AndyMillard67]

Just one easy day, that’s all I ask...

[Andrew Millard @AndyMillard67]

@TheCelticMedic Thinking of you all.

[Andrew Millard @AndyMillard67]

@doc_bipolar I’m sorry you felt you had to leave the medical profession, and I must confess to having similar feelings after just 4 months as an OT. However, I wish you all the best on your new path - I hope you find happiness, health and kindness upon it.

[Andrew Millard @AndyMillard67]

A big thank you to the lovely people of @SCAS999 and @OUH_Horton A&E for their kindness and professionalism in scooping up my partner off the road and patching her up after coming off her bike yesterday. I hope your eardrums have recovered.

[Andrew Millard @AndyMillard67]

@ONLYONEGIBBO @HMSStAlbans Magical time. Still hanker after it after all these years...

[Andrew Millard @AndyMillard67]

@NHSPracHealth @doc_bipolar OK, thank you for getting back to me.

[Andrew Millard @AndyMillard67]

Looks like us AHPs are going to be busy for a while yet...

[Suzanne Rastrick @SuzanneRastrick]

@tony_jardine @fraze76 @Tankslider @RoyalNavy What those men did was unbelievable. I often re-read Alastair MacLean’s HMS Ulysses, which describes what they went through so evocatively.

[Andrew Millard @AndyMillard67]

Ah, the good old days! “What’s it like down below, Coxswain?” “Proper pot mess, sir! Some of the men are wishing they’d joined the army instead!”

Oh my god... 😱

@geely_ash CIWS might just be able to take stuff incoming from a high angle, but might struggle for accuracy if the ship is rolling heavily and quickly. Anything at a low angle would be a nightmare for CIWS in that sea state because of ‘multipath’ - radar waves bouncing off ocean waves.

[Andrew Millard @AndyMillard67]

@brendan_furey Reminds me of when, as OOW, I’d forgotten to make a pipe to inform the ship’s company that we were about to turn across the sea and the ship would roll heavily. I received a call on the bridge: “Is that the OOW?”, “Yes”, “Cheers, c**t”. Presumably a chef.

Again, anyone seeking answers to questions about their mental health in these difficult times, please take advantage of this opportunity.
