Thank you so much @ReadForGood for donating a big box of beautiful new books to Children's Emergency @WestHertsNHS. Reading keeps nerves at bay in this often stressful environment and staff can focus on the medical🙂@sianie_79 @rgburridge @Rentons_Happy @RaiseWestHerts

ED nurses' attitudes towards patients who #selfharm: meta‐analysis. Found limited empathy & negativity towards patients who self‐harm, indicating a requirement for education and supervision of ED staff change.https://t.co/MbWGIVAEaD

@KarenJo69017955 @WestHertsNHS @KarenWa61446145 @CarterTreacle @davidwthorpe1 Good luck !

Not everyone in #hospital gets visitors; a gift could make all the difference to a patient on #Christmas Day. Young or old, ill or injured, we want to give a gift to every patient across all three of our hospitals. News is coming soon; follow us and ask friends to follow us too!

Our volunteer team’s focus this year is increasing our signposting capabilities for mental health support in Herts. Parents/carers admitted with a child in mental health crisis need support desperately #carersatbreakingpoint #WeCareToo @JenKenward @BeckyPlatt3 @KerryBe78877781

[YoungMinds @YoungMindsUK]

The NHS shouldn’t be the only place for mental health support. Schools, youth clubs and local communities can all play an important role. That’s why we need the Government to work together to tackle the mental health crisis. https://t.co/OQvYWws9I0

[Carer Support Team @CSTWatfordHosp]

We know a lot of these #carersatbreakingpoint #WeCareToo

[Carers UK @CarersUK]

Following on from the release of our #carersatbreakingpoint report last week we're asking supporters to email the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care @MattHancock to tell him urgent action needs to be taken to support #carers.
