@NHSBartsHealth awful that my Dad who has MND had an afternoon appointment today is still not home. Left waiting for transport for 3.5 hours in his wheelchair! A total of 7 hours in a wheelchair, t2DM, MND and no dinner and still not home!

[Sarah Pittaway @Slou80]

Absolutely awful! How is this still happening with patient transport! No dinner, not home till past 8pm!

@NHSBartsHealth awful that my dad who has MND has been left to sit in his wheelchair for 3.5 hours waiting for transport home and he's only just on his way & it's nearly 8pm. He has been in his wheelchair for 7 hours (appt was 13:30), a diabetic & with MND so he's had no dinner

@virginmedia 2 hours on the phone, 2 hours online just to cancel a broadband which still takes a month to do even though we haven't had it in 3 weeks. Why is this not regulated like mobile phones now are! Shocking service thank goodness we are changing providers, never again!

[Sarah Pittaway @Slou80]

@virginmedia the absolute worst customer service I've ever encountered

Celebrating 3 years of progress at the recent @ney_nurse PNA conference 🌟

Following the guided table discussions on the day, here is another doodle from me, illustrating the successes, challenges, and future focus of our PNA & PMAs across our region!

[MND Association @mndassoc]

Today is #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay, a day to come together and raise awareness of motor neurone disease.

• 6 people will be diagnosed today
• 6 people will die today
• It has NO cure

Today, help us ensure that at least one more person knows about #MND.

[Lindsey Coady @lindseycoadyPNA]

Some great posters displayed at today’s conference, each enhancing awareness of the role of the PNA and innovative strategies for implementation @ney_nurse

Pregnancy associated osteoporosis needs more research

@guardian has a great article by Rachel Aroesti

[Royal Osteoporosis Society @RoyalOsteoSoc]

Read @MGreenwoodWW expressing her disappointment at the government’s inaction on Fracture Liaison Services, despite a third of those of working age with osteoporotic fractures being forced to leave their jobs #betterbonescampaign https://t.co/EBLmHXNtTr

[Craig Jones @CraigJonesROS]

We’re back. Week 25 in this week’s Sunday Express. We want to persuade the Government to seize the huge benefits for people and the economy of Fracture Liaison Services. Only minuscule investment in Spring Budget needed to change 90,000 lives. @VictoriaAtkins @Andrew4Pendle

[Craig Jones @CraigJonesROS]

Bone scanner coverage in UK is 23rd out of 29 countries in Europe. Worse off than Romania! We need more Fracture Liaison Services. See coverage of our Inquiry in The Times, Independent and here in the Mail. https://t.co/gh99bKneJd @VictoriaAtkins @wesstreeting @Andrew4Pendle

I don’t care about job titles, hierarchy, status and privileges in a leader.

I care about how honest you are, approachable, inclusive, how you own your mistakes, ask for help & cheer on your team 🧁
