views my own, retweet’s not necessarily an endorsement etc. - interested in people caring for people

Am wholly unconvinced that ‘common sense’ and ‘personal judgement’ re #mask wearing will be sufficient to keep #Covid19 in check. As my late gran said the problem with common sense is that it isn’t that common.

It can be hard to feel good just now. The pandemic, the uncertainty, the weather all impact negatively on our mental wellbeing. Our #PermissiontoDream project have been putting together their #5Minutefeelgoodtips https://t.co/VhdcvnixkG

Thank you to all the frontline staff and managers working in #carehome and #homecare across Scotland. Hearing reports of very bad weather but astonishing dedication of staff determined to get to work to care despite weather and #Covid19 threats. #BeastFromTheEast

A shout out today for the millions of women and men delivering #care and #support to a family member or friend on this #CarersRightsDay. This is care without limitation but care which costs the carer. As a whole society we must get better at supporting #carers.

[Outside the Box @OtBcommunities]

This morning our #PermissionToDream carer's peer-support group let us know we're famous!

Lovely to have our work mentioned in parliament with @GenerationsWT @ScotPensForum @hourglass @agescotland. Let's keep working together #SupportingCommunities!

It is really sad that as a result of the actions of others who have not kept to advice that #carehomes in several areas now face restrictions and that families and residents are suffering. #Covid19 is still here. Please please keep to the #FACTS. @scottishcare

[Scotland Excel @ScotlandExcel]

Who says working from home can't be glamorous! Great effort from our team at SXL who donned their finest in homeworking chic to raise an amazing £245 for our nominated charity @HouseChriss

Scotland’s first Bereavement Charter for Children and Adults describes what good bereavement care and support should look like and the difference it can make - even more important now with COVID-19.

[Donald Macaskill @DrDMacaskill]

I simply cannot believe the insensitivity of the Home Office today re-issuing their advice on a new #immigration system in which #carers are low-skilled! Many are at the frontline in a #pandemic. Shame on you. ⁦@scottishcare⁩ https://t.co/Ea6n417xFs

The virus doesn’t discriminate but at a population level impact will be greatest in people with low income, multimorbidity or frailty. Our response needs to address health equity @Stewmercer @IanMWelsh @PeterKnight100

[Scottish Care @scottishcare]

Supermarkets - we need YOU to support our social care workforce during #COVID19 Our services and staff need access to vital supplies and food like our esteemed NHS colleagues. We're all in this together @asda @Morrisons @Tesco @AldiUK @LidlGB PLEASE SHARE

Note to self...never ever go near an establishment owned by Mr Martin once this is over

When good news feels in short supply, we were delighted to welcome our latest edition to the family on Friday - baby Owen.

A huge relief that he's home safe now.

Hannah - as those who know her will understand - was and always will be absolutely amazing x
