@HamlettGordon Thank you so much for your birding wisdom today! I've just ordered your book and look forward to it arriving this week. Have a lovely Kentish holiday! 🐦‍⬛

[DeanRogers @deanrogers25]

Don't believe anyone saying 1M are waiting for scans because @SCoRMembers are striking today in England. We're striking because 1M are waiting for scans & govt have no plan & won't have a serious conversation with @SCoRMembers about a solution #RespectRadiography

[Tabby @Tabby_TRad]

This sign says it all really - these strikes aren't just about us rads, they're about our patients as well #respectradiographers #SaveOurNHS

[DeanRogers @deanrogers25]

A #UCLH patient made this sign for @SCoRMembers They get it. Hopefully Ministers start to understand we need a serious conversation to solve the #WorkforceCrisis #RespectRadiography

[Danielle Fairweather-Chan @Totallyrad5]

Save our NHS 💙

[Tabby @Tabby_TRad]

Despite our department taking in a 'radiographer' strike earlier this week, a patient still called me a nurse today... 🤦🏼‍♀️ #radlife

[Sally Mieu 💙 (she/her) @SallyMieu]

Day 2 on the picket lines at @uclh, asking for the UK government to #RespectRadiography, the workload is rapidly increasing while the workforce suffers. This isn't sustainable growth. I stand in solidarity the @SCoRMembers radiography strike. #StudentRadiographer

[Sally Mieu 💙 (she/her) @SallyMieu]

WHO'S NHS? OUR NHS!! #RespectRadiography @uclh @SCoRMembers

[Tabby @Tabby_TRad]

PS. Special shout out to @SallyMieu for picket snacks and 📸 creds! What a treat to see you 😍 #radiographersunite

[Tabby @Tabby_TRad]

Striking with my fellow radiographers was a difficult decision. However, we've been backed into a corner with years of underinvestment in the radiography workforce and it simply isn't sustainable for staff or patients. I just hope our voice has been heard 🙏🏽 #respectradiohraphy

[SCoR Members @SCoRMembers]

Today we #strike to ask the government for immediate investment in pay and working hours.

Will ministers take responsibility for plummeting numbers of professionals and increasing waiting lists for diagnosis & treatment? Read more: https://t.co/BXEiTwU3eb

A day of debating followed by an evening of letting your hair down. South East Delegates in pic 🙂@SCoRMembers #ADC2023 #studentdelegate #allthingsradiography #diagnostictadiographystudent #southeastdelegates

[Tabby @Tabby_TRad]

What a fabulous few days at @SCoRMembers #ADC2023. Truly inspired by all the passionate radiographers raising such a huge variety of issues that are pertinent to our profession. Aspiring to get up on that podium one day! #proudrad

[Tabby @Tabby_TRad]

What a great first day at @SCoRMembers #ADC2023! Excited to be representing the SE delegation and helping shape the future of the society. Roll on the evening shenanigans!

Why are we losing so many of our ground nesting birds? These are the scenes currently all over #Derbyshire & many counties - beautiful #wildflowermeadows mown down for silage (cattle feed).

Curlew, Skylark, Meadow Pipit, Oystercatcher & Lapwing are ground nesting birds. Right now they will have eggs/chicks. All of which will be mown down, along with thousands of insects, mammals and other animals, who until now, have made this landscape their home.

74% of our land is currently managed under agricultural practices. We therefore need more incentives for farmers/land owners to manage their land on a rotation, allow nature back in & let these birds & other animals breed.

Without this, our ground nesting birds, butterflies, moths, bees, bats, mammals, amphibians, reptiles and many creatures will continue to plummet and the iconic calls of our Skylarks, Curlews & Lapwings will vanish from our landscapes.

The longer we cast nature aside, the harder it will be for it to bounce back.

Finally felt ready to start formally providing student feedback today #newlyqualified
Really enjoyed doing an end of placement reflection with a final year student; I think it's just as valuable for staff as it is for students themselves! A great learning opportunity all round

ℹ️ We've been informed that a duck has been left on a train at #HerneHill - staff are looking after it at the station at the moment and will arrange for it to be safely collected, however if it is yours then please make yourself known to station staff.

Just found out @Headspace is free for NHS workers 🧘🏽‍♀️🎉 V excited to add it back into my meditation repertoire

[Prostate Cancer UK @ProstateUK]

Did you know 1 in 3 men over 65 are estimated to have a urinary incontinence problem in the UK? But provision of male incontinence bins just isn’t good enough.

Today we launch a campaign with our partners @phsgroup to say, 🗣️ Boys need Bins!
