IBD nurse, Bristol. Chair RCN IBD National Committee. Wife-mother-cook! I also live with two cats, can’t say I own them . All views expressed are my own.
Where would we be without our #IBD nurses? In a poorer place, I can tell you!
So today on the 202nd birthday of the grande dame of nursing, Florence Nightingale, let's celebrate #InternationalNursesDay2022.
Giving thanks and raising a 🥂 to each and every nurse across the 🌍!
@alisonleary1 The person who has asked her to change masks is likely not trained, just doing as instructed. It is frustrating but don’t shoot the messenger.
The support from senior nurse research leaders @GreenSueM @karenkemp46@DibleyD yes you need to be persistent but seeing others who have gotten there has been vital, I’m still at the beginning of my journey funding is my big issue #NurseLedResearch needs #nurseresearchers#Hope
A subject close to my heart ! Planning a family when you have IBD. Yes you can !! Speak to your team. What does this mean for me ?? #ccuk#ibd#ibdnurses https://t.co/AHk0z3dJ3Z
If you have #Crohns and you are interested in joining this study (details below), the organisers are offering a gift card as reimbursement for your time. Focus group is about 3 hours. #IBD
⚠️ Dangerous high strength recreational drugs are circulating in #Bristol ⚠️
These have sadly claimed the life of one young person and hospitalised several others in the past week.
Please be aware of the risks, and look out for each other. 1/2

As usual #CCUK are anticipating the impact and uncertainty which next Monday’s changes will have in the #IBD community and stepping up! Thank you #CCUK
