Serving Police Officer. Sharing my life experiences of living with IBD to having a Stoma then returning to front line policing. ***All views are my own***
Today is World IBD Day. 💜
IBD.... It’s pain, fatigue, medication, surgeries, hospital appointments, and invisible complications.
It can be life changing, career changing, and overwhelming , even when you keep smiling and pushing on.
Be kind...

For more than 25 years, the Metropolitan Police has been repeatedly found by independent investigations to be institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic.
The brass neck is staggering.
As Commissioner, Mark Rowley’s job is to serve the public, not to make political attacks.
Shame on him.
@Owie39Rob Thanks for your reply.
This photo was sent to my kids at the time their dad was in hospital as the country was locking down. Remember that?

Today I’ve submitted my application for Ill health retirement.
Difficult decision but the right one. 👮♂️🚔
People living with a stoma are often judged for using the toilet facilities they need.
We were pleased to contribute to this @itvcalendar story highlighting why stoma friendly toilets and greater stoma awareness matter.

I won’t be returning to frontline policing.
It seems Long-term steroid treatment has caused secondary osteoporosis, changing my risk profile going forward.
Permanently restricted from frontline duties 🤦🏻♂️
Colitis = The gift that keeps giving

.@Channel4News revealed at least 100 police officers and staff have died by suicide in three years. The real number is likely higher.
Officers face relentless trauma, but support is inconsistent. Recording suicides must become mandatory.
