This is a really interesting blog about why issues are not raised in healthcare and its impact on everyday practice. Consider this in terms of values & beliefs and how that underpins poor practice and cognitive dissonance. See https://t.co/DfBKVbOSxZ. #caringpractice

Interesting that CQC found bullying culture in 2015 in Whorlton Hall yet improvement in 2016 considering extent of the abuse in 2019. So much is hidden, so much is dark & too many eyes turn away. https://t.co/xKrI4aHT97 #caringpractice #timeforchange @DrTeenaClouston

Interesting study on the importance of a good nights sleep...worth the effort to get in balance because sleep helps you relax & recuperate mind, body & soul; this in turn gives you the energy and resilience to do everything else @DrTeenaClouston #shipoflife #livinglifeinbalance

Difficult reports emerging in healthcare but what r the underlying cultural problem? Cwm Taff maternity at 'breaking point', 'punitive culture of blame' 'little leadership'; women & staff concerns ignored! https://t.co/oBcrDjnFhw #timeforchange @CaringPractice #caringpractice
