6,069 suicides were registered in England and Wales (11.4 deaths per 100,000 people) in 2023.

This was an increase compared with 2022 and the highest rate since 1999.

Lets see how this applies to the foundation programme (generically, thinking about many of my friends across the UK doing F1-2 ATM) ....

1) ❌lighting and temperature: no, strobe lights and non-modifiable heating are standard
2) ❌parking: expensive, privatised, not safe

Last session of @DPT Falls Prevention and Management Training Pilot today. #Physio Rachel's passion to improve people's experience of inpatient falls care is inspiring! Thank you to everyone who supported and attended the project ❤ #Simulation #QI @staceyendacott @VickyShorters

@SimulationDaisy @DPT_NHS @staceyendacott @VickyShorters @SteveHaupt4 @ChrisBurford12 Really well done all. Great piece of work improving patient safety on our older adult wards.

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

In health & care, we often focus on a narrow concept of improving "staff experience", when we could be building a much deeper & more profound basis of human connection at work: a sense of belonging. Belonging is when an employee, regardless of their background or role, knows that their voice matters, that their unique experiences enrich the team & that they're not just seen, but understood. Organisations that build a sense of belonging have higher levels of engagement, retention & performance: https://t.co/DNGs6moS0B By @hacking_hr

@SangitaMyska I used to read obsessively when younger but find it increasingly difficult to set time aside now. I do quite a bit of driving for work and have started listening to audiobooks for the last year or so while in the car which has become a very valued part of my day.

Cases of winter illnesses like covid-19, flu and norovirus are rising in the South West and we need your help to take steps to prevent the spread.
