@CathyWinfield @emwraw When my sister and I were 5 and 7 years old, back in the 50s. The good old days. Our mum was in hospital from the May until Christmas. We were only allowed to stand outside and look through a window when we went for chest X-rays. Only now do I wonder how our mum coped.

@woolwarehouse Definitely pull out of the centre. Sometimes easier than others.

[Irene Bettison @IreneBettison]

@JulieJulie726 Enjoy your retirement. It’s great.

@brodas87 Thank you Ang, I’ve had a lovely day. X

[Helen Buckingham @buckinghamh]

@Liz_ORiordan I know... Thoughtful message from neighbour on our street WhatsApp group this morning, but it's still hard...

[Dan Walker @mrdanwalker]

Sorry to hear the news about your departure from GMB @piersmorgan

If you’d like to come on the UK’s number 1 breakfast show to talk about it... we could make some space for you in the morning 👍🏻

[Irene Bettison @IreneBettison]

@youngphysio @KayBurchett Oh dear Michelle, your worst nightmare.

[Irene Bettison @IreneBettison]

@brodas87 @UHDBTrust Best wishes and good luck Ang. I’m sure you are going to be missed.

[Irene Bettison @IreneBettison]

@spotlyte1 Happy Christmas to you too. Xx

[Irene Bettison @IreneBettison]

So sorry to see them go. What a lovely people they are

[Dan Walker @mrdanwalker]

Got to say that @JJChalmersRM is a top man.
He and @dowden_amy burned bright and left #Strictly in style with some beautiful words of encouragement for each other
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Irene Bettison @IreneBettison]

Very true, plus they don’t answer you back! 😂😂

[Irene Bettison @IreneBettison]

He’s being spoilt!! A very lucky dog.

[Irene Bettison @IreneBettison]

Thank you Sainsbury’s, you have been fantastic. After lots of problems initially, you have been brilliant. Your service has been very much appreciated.

[Sainsbury's @sainsburys]

We're logging off for the night. We'll be back in the morning at 7am. Goodnight! Rebecca.

[Irene Bettison @IreneBettison]

It’s a role reversal. My sister and I cared for my mum then my dad. Yes it’s really hard, but I would do it again in a heart beat.

[Crystal Coe @crystalcoe28]

Absolutely happy to do this...but no one tells you growing up how hard it is, how heartbreaking it can be, how it can be a full role reversal and you loose being a daughter to be a career. Wouldn’t change it for the world, but my it’s my hardest job to date. Worthwhile but hard❤️

Sometimes it’s what the patients think we are. Pre retirement as a physio assistant, I had been called Dr, the funniest was a carpenter after cutting a patient a walking stick.

To all of our current “sisters” and “senior sisters” should we think again about changing the title ?? @UHDBTrust @UHDBChildrens @TeamSurgeryUHDB @UHDB_DME @Pulvertafthands @RdhRespiratory @UHDBCancer @DerbyRenalTeam @InclusionUhdb @UHDBCancer

I was sitting in a parked car on Denton Rd On Monday evening. I was impressed how many members of staff were still wearing their masks. Thank you and well done

[Cathy Winfield MBE, RN, MSc💙 @CathyWinfield]

@UHDBTrust for our teams wondering why we are advising wearing your mask on you way to and from the car parks while walking with your colleagues - a simple demonstration why
