Catching up on life and found this letter I was sent this week by a patient who successfully moved on from ward 1...so nice to know we make a difference 😊 #ilovemyjob @LeedsandYorkPFT

It's not a lot - especially for a person near the end of their #last1000days.
I support @JohnCampaign as it's about compassion and valuing patient and carer time.

@AlexIrvineLeeds @LYPFT_HWB Thanks Alex 😀

[David Bosworth @david_lypft]

@Katewardleeds Thanks Kate 😁 @Microsoft #Publisher is nowhere near adequate for design purposes but we got there 😉👐

We don't have long left of the #StepUpChallenge but in the spirit of ward based competition, our ward was split down the middle and put in 2 camps: the #HotSteppers and the #Mounties.

The creative in me had to get some team emblems done!!! It's gone down great 😁😁 #LogoDesign

[David Bosworth @david_lypft]

Taking part in the #StepUpChallenge has definitely got me feeding off the competition! Our Ward 2 team from the Mount, aptly named The Hot Steppers, have managed to stay in the Top 5 again this week! Got to *step our game up* 😉 to catch up to Ward 4 though!

"Finding Paradise is an incredibly acute examination of deep childhood themes. It shows the consequences of fear of abandonment, loss, isolation, & how coping mechanisms play out over the long-term... it helped me put words to years of personal experience" https://t.co/WwuYhwOODs

How do we find a better balance of the increasing job demands of nursing, both general and mental health, and our own wellbeing, both physically and mentally? Burnout is an all too real side effect of this job, both for nurses, HCA's, medics and reg's. Where is the line drawn?

[Alice Tew @helloalicetew]

Back home with this fantastic haul. Highly recommend PODS training - solid, knowledgeable and (most importantly IMO) genuine. Thank you @CarolynSpring

[David Bosworth @david_lypft]

Quick staffing question. Does anyone know what constitutes unsafe staffing within supported living for learning dis & challenging behaviour?

[Alex Staniforth @alex_staniforth]

Sod it. No better time to open up than #MentalHealthDay. If my story helps other men speak out, then job done.
