Please can we stop underestimating someone’s pain based on their ability to keep going? Just because someone is high-functioning, they go to work, they study, they workout…they do all the things they need to get done doesn’t make their pain any less real. Just be mindful of that
I don't choose to be anxious,
I don't choose to be depressed,
I don't choose to be worried,
I don't choose to be stressed,
I don't choose to be sad,
I don't choose to be in disarray,
I don't choose to be nervous,
I don't choose to be this way.

Thank you @BBCr4today@JustinOnWeb for this & @theresa_may @JDRFUK for highlighting this important area
An infographic to highlight work done by @NHSDiabetesProg since 2019 on this- inspired by @amybetic
Delighted to announce @HIOW_ICS have agreed to commission this for future
Pleased to have been able to contribute to this. #T1DE is a huge issue. It needs proper resources, funding & understanding. I'm lucky to be under a T1DE team & it's terrible that the service is at risk. I hope the recommendations lead to better treatment & outcomes for #T1DE 💙
It's always important to remember the mental health impact on #T1Diabetes
And the issue of 'Eating Disorders'
An article from 3 years ago @BBCNews
It would be a very brave Commissioner who would stop such a service & leave such high risk folks at risk

Dozens of single women who came to work in the NHS and social care have been denied permission for their children to join them.
It’s an absolute travesty.
Please RT so more people can be aware of what is going on.

The NHS is by no means perfect, but no one in the UK has ever been declared bankrupt because of medical bills.
Yet.
We must never take our NHS for granted - please RT if you agree.
I appreciate when skilled 'professional' people can also be down to earth, humble, & just talk in everyday language. Not 'dumbing down', but more like an intention to value engaging as people, & to value listening. It's like a gentle confidence combined with an open heart & mind.
I urge all of nursing leadership to focus on this issue
Not platitudes
Not hashtags
Not slogans
Be an ally to all - irrespective of the colour of their skin
Bring the energy
Correct this blight on the profession
It’s nearly 2024
Thank you
Merry Christmas to our loved ones and friends who are no longer with us.
We will always love you and miss you. See you again one day.

Never underestimate the power of positive feedback
Never underestimate the damage done by negative feedback
Many people are facing struggles you have no idea of
Lift others up rather than tear them down
Who knows, one day that might be you
Look after each other ❤️
