It’s a well known fact in our house that when #UP is on, I have to wait in the kitchen until the end of this sequence because it always makes me cry.
It contains enough story & emotion in a couple of minutes for an entire feature film - beautiful, poignant, perfect.
"Jobs in health should be the finest, most rewarding jobs. There should be no greater priority for any healthcare organisation, system, or country, than finding the path to make this happen"

“The great tragedy is the lack of vocational education in schools. Not everybody is designed for the academic. I feel this has been forgotten for a long time.”

Me too!!!
Theres a reality check in Jacinda Arden’s resignation - we came in trying to do A B & C but then huge things W X Y & Z happened. Events. And there’s only so much energy & attention to give and it’s hard. Just dealing with the events is tricky enough let alone long term goals.
Sorry to be one of those people that turns global political events into a niche tweet… but… been thinking a lot about how we “do” leadership (and particularly performance mgmt) in the NHS in a way that is compassionate but impactful. This nails it.
“It takes courage and strength to be empathetic, and I’m very proudly an empathetic and compassionate leader. I am trying to chart a different path, and that will attract criticism but I can only be true to myself and the form of leadership I believe in.” Jacinda Ardern
Even if not into football you’ll appreciate the ability of ‘new teams’ to break into the upper echelons of the top leagues.
Sports have lots of appeal but this idea that there’s hope for new or young participants is attractive & actually equitable in a wider sense.
@RachelBurnham@Jeales1989 😂 liking only to acknowledge he is also stronger in the planning https://t.co/ZYu0ilzcyo phase of new year workout resolutions. The wine has had a stronger appeal than the gym. 🫣
As wonderful as Christmas is for many people, for others it can be terribly challenging.
If you’re not looking forward to tomorrow, particularly if you’re worried about being on your own, please consider popping along to your nearest @parkrun - they would love to see you ❤️
V lucky to be home in Yorkshire for Christmas this year. Wrapping presents, seeing family, sherry on tap (ahem, post midday). Only awaiting one thing to make this scene truly festive: that’s right folks, the publication of the planning guidance 🎁🎁🎁
This letter in the @Telegraph made me cry this week.
It’s wonderful to take the time to recognise and thank people for helping, but to go out your way to write something so thoughtful when you’re enduring the worst life can throw at you is superhuman, I reckon.

I don’t think I’ve ever reached out to hold an MP’s hand during an interview before.
But this interview with @PaulBlomfieldMP - speaking about his father taking his own life, despite wanting to live - is incredibly moving and worth your time.

CS Lewis said somewhere that it isn’t just that his friend died, it’s that the part of him that only his friend could bring out would never be brought out again.
