@DrRanj Hope you’re feeling much better. Food poisoning or even any type of vomiting is just horrible.

@Biggreenbooks I love a star bar, my favourite.

Pretty busy night shift last night #paedslife

[Imogen Green @ImogenBone]

@phoebee_b Ps good luck!

[Imogen Green @ImogenBone]

@phoebee_b This was me 10 years ago. Spend the week getting to know your rotation colleagues well- you’ll be in this together and be there to support each other. Also you’re a sponge this week learn from the colleagues you will be taking over from!

@LizSchwarzRN @TMLutas @jbullockruns Fortunately in the UK it’s a moral not a legal obligation to help on flights so would not be a problem. I’m also working with several colleagues who don’t work nights but our training programme is very different (6-7 year speciality training) so less acute.

This week’s poem is inspired by ‘Sometimes’ by Sheenagh Pugh and a recent conversation in the late hours of the night on call in the #PedsICU

@LizSchwarzRN @TMLutas @jbullockruns I’m not sure how being pregnant would be encountered by very few doctors. All of my colleagues including myself have had night shifts reduced at the end of pregnancy to allow for this. It’s about putting your (and baby’s) health and well-being first.

[Imogen Green @ImogenBone]

@BusyBibliophile @TMLutas @jbullockruns UK legalities on this I think are different a moral not a legal obligation to help if needed.

[Imogen Green @ImogenBone]

@TMLutas @jbullockruns That’s the key point if you’re prevented from qualifying if it’s a requirement to do nights. Far better to look at the evidence around skills and knowledge gained during nights and whether it is essential to do nights to achieve this.

[Imogen Green @ImogenBone]

@amybethreyes @jbullockruns A few examples I have come across here would be pregnancy- for various reasons at a variety of stages of pregnancy, sleep apnoea, mental health issues, cardiac disease. If there is evidence you have a medical condition that would be affected by night shift work.

The Consultants of Dorset hospital have written a letter to @SteveBarclay

They strike tomorrow

This letter is incredible

I challenge anyone to refute a single point in it

Worth a read for you too @wesstreeting

[Imogen Green @ImogenBone]

@Ruminations01 Interesting. In the UK it’s similar but we would get exemption if there was a medical reason for not doing them.

I’m struggling to find the words to put with this post but please watch my most recent interview with Dele. It’s the most emotional, difficult yet inspirational conversation I’ve ever had in my life. Watch the interview on @wearetheoverlap here https://t.co/60d4IZwQmR

Paint over Mickey Mouse
Burn Where the Wild Things Are
Pulverise the lego
Set fire to the Christmas tree star.

Seize all the teddies
Bury every skipping rope
Paint the walls dark brown
Abolish all hope.

@Damian_Roland So many many failed cannulas but they’ve all made me better at cannulation. Still always learning.

[Imogen Green @ImogenBone]

@DrRobgalloway Have a fantastic day!!

[Imogen Green @ImogenBone]

@tarhealer @LifeandPICU From the UK it’s honestly heartbreaking. I tool 9 months off for my little ones and had protected working hours on my return to allow me to breast feed to 12 months. It could and should be much better for you.
