Does anyone else struggle getting a response from @NWSSP despite emailing them in January? I’m only trying to help them correct an over calculation of my accrued leave whilst on maternity. Sadly this is not my first let down by NHS Wales’ HR team 😓 @Eluned_Morgan

@EcoGlazeltd a shame 2 years since instillation and our bifold issues haven’t been sorted. Seals incomplete, corners damaged on installation and a clear gap under the door. What is the point of double glazing when there are gaps for cold air to come through 🤷🏼‍♀️

Guilt.
Self-doubt.
Trepidation.

Thanks to the med twitter community - here are the top 5 tips on making that call.
