Our hospitals are under extreme pressure. If your loved one is coming home from hospital, please collect them as soon as they are able to be discharged. Make sure their house is warm and if you can stock up on some essentials.

This frees up beds for those that need them most.

[Tracey Thorn @tracey_thorn]

This thread a heartening reminder of what most people are really like. Coming together, supporting each other, being human.

[Jenny McCusker @jennymccusker1]

People who care for friends & family members often don’t see themselves as carers. You are and you do a fantastic job and you deserve support, rest and acknowledgement.

@AnnieAsEver Very nice vase! Nice name too…

The theory of leadership is one thing, the practice is quite another

[Donna Hall @ProfDonnaHall]

It’s jobs in factories, fish & chip emporiums & canteens that taught me more about leadership than a book or a course. I’ve struggled to learn anything from people who have never led; they can spout the words, have read all the books but there’s something lacking about real life.

@AnnieAsEver Like a bridge over troubled water, it will ease your mind (& heart). Sigh as much as you need.

[Della Thomas @DellaThomas111]

There is just so much to do in my job & it really feels overwhelming. There are some great ideas here. Like the idea of focusing on career, relationships & self

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

We will all need to build arks at this rate. Glad the rain has stopped at last & the mud slides are getting cleared 🙏

It never rains but it pours☔

Below are some images of the flooding during the amber weather warning!

We would like to give a special thanks to the road operating companies who have been working tirelessly to get our network moving once again❤️
