I just donated a special premature nappy to a UK hospital by tweeting #PampersForPreemies - show your support and do the same! 👶

@ellena_farrow If kangaroos and pogo sticks were never able to ground themselves, they wouldn't work at all. Being grounded is healthy and allows us to remain real and decent; qualities that you have in abundance 🙂

It's an 80's look so I'm after an 80's donation of £1.
I'm supporting & raising awareness of Men's Health. If you've got a spare £1 then fling it this way please... I'm afraid that I can't promise any handlebars though!

@ellena_farrow @Julia45090907 @JenniferEBall @clairegranato @cathedwards_1 You're an inspiration to people like me because of what you know and do... not just as a physio, but as someone who values the importance of friendship (and cakes!) #brightfuture

@am2805 @SarahC_RN @LauraBrennan82 @LancsHospitals And this without absolute doubt is where I've learnt about the importance of having fun... whatever your age.

[Andy Walton @Baconbarmcake]

@SarahC_RN @LauraBrennan82 @LancsHospitals Thank you indeed everyone for such kind words. I feel my energy is drawn from such outstanding colleagues & being witness to the amazing things they all do. @LancsPolice made me understand the importance of putting people first & it's a privilege to share that 'in retirement'.

We recently had a patient on the ward who was physically and verbally abusive to staff. We all know that isn't acceptable, but it never stopped any of the team continuing with committed first class care until fit for discharge. 🌟Amazing colleagues who genuinely care🌟#Topteam

If you see me around looking like I'm balancing a slug on my upper lip, here's why...

@LancsRoadPolice *Coughs loudly*..."Peer support session"
