Civilised work environments matter because they foster excellence & reduce errors/stress. Teams function best, & keep our patient safest, when everyone feels valued & respected. Rudeness is unacceptable & not only a behavioural issue but, more importantly, a patient safety issue.

@WelshGasDoc Getting shouted at by the skip police for using the wrong bin 😅

[James Tomlinson @jamestoml1]

Phone GP '23rd in queue to speak to reception'

Phone 111 'please hang up and use our website or call 999'

Use website 'do not use for children under 5'

It's becoming clearer why EDs are busy....

I wish I was half as proud of anything I have achieved in my life as my 4 year old is of his sandcastle & moat 🙌🏻

Anyone in the UK can call themselves a Nurse, regardless of having undertaken any registered nursing qualification, training or experience. This is a #PatientSafety issue and if you too are concerned with this position then please sign #ProtectNurse https://t.co/ESAoaSjxfK

For now, please help us by making as much noise as possible about the debate. If you can, tweet or message your local MP to encourage them to attend. It’s time for change - and we couldn’t have done this without you.

[Tommy's @tommys]

Incredibly, over 170k of you signed our recent petition to #ChangeTheMiscarriageStory. We are now delighted to tell you that the government will be responding to our petition in an Adjournment Debate tomorrow.

Went out to my garden and thought ‘ooh it’s so close, it really needs to rain.’

So, I guess this is middle age.

He wasnt saved by a trauma system
or an elaborate stroke ambulance
not by a cardiologist & cath lab
or a helicopter

He was saved by a basic, simple skill that, IMO, should be taught to every grade school student on this planet

#TipsForNewDocs
Traits I like in a doctor:
1. Compassion. (No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.)
2. Humility. (Keeps asking the opinion of others.)
3. Integrity. (Does what they say they'll do.)
4. Honesty. (No lying to patients or team.)

@LfEcommunity Genuine investment in staff wellbeing - not just a reading corner but rotas given well in advance, enough staff that there is time for training not just firefighting on every shift, no more infantilising grown adults - respecting autonomy, proper rest facilities

[James Tomlinson @jamestoml1]

@LfEcommunity Abandon the individuals aren't resilient enough rhetoric.

And genuine top down compassionate leadership.

We will be offering 3 days full pay to employees who have experienced or been affected by early pregnancy loss and miscarriage, on top of paid sick leave offered to employees, at least 20 days a year. The policy is inclusive of all employees across stores, warehouses and offices.

[Miscarriage UK @MiscarriageUK]

We're pleased to support @lidl_ni's new pregnancy loss policy. It helps to break the silence associated with even the earliest of pregnancy losses, acknowledging that it can be a bereavement like any other. Hopefully, it will become an exemplar for many other organisations.
