So last night an elderly gentleman I saw in A&E told me I was “well suited to be a doctor” and put his hand on my shoulder and he went on his merry way and I went to the toilets to cry 😂

@FlorenceWoodle1 @gardner_bea Hi @gardner_bea you’re an amazing doctor and the NHS is richer for having you in it

@epionymous @PHU_NHS Congratulations Anna!! 🥹😍

[Anna Blackwell 💙 @epionymous]

New year, new job. Same wonderful team.

Honoured to be stepping up at @PHU_NHS in an ED that’s supported me professionally and personally through thick and thin.

Hope I can be useful.

My boyfriend threw out the packaging for our turkey crown. The packaging with the cooking instructions on it. Because I am a generous and mature person I said “never mind, I should have said.” And HE SAID “yes you should have really”.

And that’s what happened your honour.

Here’s the Foley catheter urine bag from a patient who presented to the ER with confusion

What’s the diagnosis?

The most heart warming act of compassion I witnessed today - this little lady was chatting away to the builder walking out of the main entrance at PHU, she became a little unsteady, so he offered an arm with the cutest conversation between them #compassion @PHU_NHS

Tomorrow, junior doctors will strike. A full 72 hr walkout

It isn’t the first time I have striked as a dr; I didn’t think there would be a second time post-2016, but here we are. I’m so glad and so proud ✊🏻

The decision wasn’t easy.
However, it is the RIGHT one.

Let us unite.

Thats what she remembers.

Because the jam sandwich represents a moment of kindness

A moment where, in and amongst a busy ward full of sick patients, she felt seen.

With every patient encounter, remember Emma.

Kindness matters.

This year's Men's Football World Cup is in Qatar – a country where LGBTQ+ people are criminalised and persecuted simply for being themselves.

I've just joined @stonewalluk's #ProudStadium to stand with the LGBTQ+ community in Qatar. Show your support: https://t.co/beYAWfGgKC

What made this morning’s trip to the bathroom interesting is that I don’t actually own a cat.
