@NHSEngland Rest In Peace Midwife Tina Thank you for your years of NHS service to many families. sincere condolences to your family and friends. (wish I knew her surname so I could afford her the proper respect of an elder)
@NHSEngland Congratulations glad to see that the time to reach your goal was shorter than mine. I started my NHS career as a Ward Clerk and ended it as the first Equality and Diversity Manager at my former Trust I took on numerous roles to overcome many barriers to my progression.
THE WEST NEEDS AFRICA!
The West has consistently misrepresented Africa as a continent of poverty and in dire need of saving. But it’s quite the opposite: The West desperately needs Africa for its resources.
Africa received less than $30 billion annually in aid while losing $192 billion to those same countries, according to a 2014 report titled, ‘Honest accounts? The true story of Africa’s billion dollar losses.’
As filmmaker and writer Mallence Bart-Williams explained in this 2015 video clip, the West destabilised wealthy African states to sell the narrative that Africa is poor, dying and surviving only because of the mercy of the West.
She pointed out that the West has nothing to offer. That's why they still have their teeth sunk in African soil. ‘Instead, you should come empty-handed, filled with integrity and honour,’ she says.

Happy Honoring The Six Triple Eight to the world Day!!! To every service member, to every veteran, to everyone in our armed forces, you are all heroes. This one is for you: The Six Triple Eight is playing now on @netflix
@Nadine_Writes@Livsescape The work you do, the truth you share the people you represent is important difficult and the toll cannot be underestimated. Your passion shines when others would wish you to remain hidden. Resiliance & courage are more than word they are how we show up
@Jess_Gagnon@KalwantBhopal the door for Race is frequently closed in favour of the next protected characteristic scandal priority. Frameworks need to use a genuine intersectional approach to measuring impact of anti racism initiatives and not get distracted from any chance of changing behaviours.
This #WorldHealthDay, we’re celebrating Sarah, Lead Breast Clinical Nurse Specialist at @royalmarsdenNHS, who developed a diverse range of soft prosthetics for black patients who have had a mastectomy.
Sarah’s work champions diversity and boosts patient confidence post-surgery.
@clearmind67 sad to see no surprise that its still happening could the move be treated to constructive dismisal as the area she is being moved to could give rise to more negative treatment as it is not her area of expertise.
Is the Director who is an ally aware of the contract changes?
Dear Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's, Lid, Aldi, Waitrose, Morrisons, and all other stores that have self checkout.
You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now.
The lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping
everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already
🛒 filled my cart
🛒 emptied my cart
🛒 scanned the items
🛒refilled my cart
and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "umm - Excuse me " as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's vour problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON'T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed ....All of us
These are jobs that are needed to have for young and old
