@sheevs_ Couldn't have said it better myself! Wise words as always!

@pigletish I tend to find mine is worse at night/in the morning but had been much better since I started sleeping with a pregnancy pillow (between my legs). Wake up with less hip pain/ache.

[Dr Adele Flannagan @adele_flan]

I know the most important thing right now is practical support to sort the crisis in the NHS but I can't help thinking about the long term, long lasting impact on the mental health of nurses and doctors, given what they're experiencing right now. It's heartbreaking!

[Dr Adele Flannagan @adele_flan]

@DrTarynT Yes!!

Also to those starting their Clinical Psychology journeys...these photos were taken 11 years apart (almost to the date!). It has been over a decade but it's been an amazing journey (both professionally & personally) so all I will say is, you don't have to rush it, enjoy it!

@Judyandthebooks Thanks Judy! 😊

[Dr Adele Flannagan @adele_flan]

Do I have any connections here to any clinical/assistant psychologists who work in CAMHS Eating Disorder Services who would have time for a quick Teams chat or message? Just looking to make links with other services and see how psychology is utilised. Thanks 😊

[Dr Adele Flannagan @adele_flan]

I've been made to feel part of some wonderful teams and had some amazing placement experiences. Everyone I've met works so incredibly hard to support the communities they serve and I couldn't be more grateful 2/2 @BryonyERobinson @Judyandthebooks @camillajohns3

[Dr Adele Flannagan @adele_flan]

As I'm about to start my first job post-qualified, I wanted to say a huge thank you to all the placements/supervisors I've had over the past 3 years. I consider myself incredibly lucky, that despite the added challenge of Covid and not meeting some teams in person, 1/2

@pigletish Monty- who refuses to let me work!

[Dr Adele Flannagan @adele_flan]

group of people to ride the roller coaster than has been the past 3 years. Can't believe we did it!! 2/2 @StaffsPsych

[Dr Adele Flannagan @adele_flan]

Yesterday was our last day of teaching before we officially finish the DClin in September and start new jobs as fully fledged Clinical Psychologists. It's been a strange but wonderful journey with an added sprinkle of a worldwide pandemic but couldn't have asked for a better 1/2

[Dr Adele Flannagan @adele_flan]

Ahhhhh! I found out today I passed my viva with only minor modification! 🥳 So chuffed and one step closer to the finish line!

[Dr Adele Flannagan @adele_flan]

To anyone having their DClin interview at Staffs this week, good luck! 👍🏻 I actually quite enjoyed my interview experience and know you will have some friendly faces in the current trainees! Hope it goes well for you 😊
