Interesting discussions yesterday at #WIMIN23 about the leaky pipeline of healthcare training / work.
The people in the pipeline aren’t the issue, it’s the holes in the pipe! We need to think about how we can improve the structure surrounding our people.

Very sad to have lost my Auntie Robbie overnight after getting COVID (& double vaccinated). This nightmare is not over. To quote Robbie's wise words 4 days before she passed away
"Bloody Boris wants to open up everything!! He's mad!!"
Pls rethink your idiotic plan @BorisJohnson
Ever wondered why A&E staff up and down the uk are stressed?
Most other services/jobs can curtail demand or stop services if inadequate staffing
A&E can do neither.
Staffing models must based on busy days with expected sickness preplanned, not average days with no sickness.
I’m going to try and say no divisional meetings on Fridays - instead I’m going to encourage our teams to walk the floor and really listen and hear what our staff are saying - who knows it might catch on? @MTWnhs
Dan on @BBCBreakfast assuming that the person is a nurse because they’re female. Guessing this will be oh so familiar to the female ITU consultants out there.
Bravo 👏🏻 Watch opera singer Luke Price as he gave an exclusive performance to our staff at Tunbridge Wells Hospital this afternoon. He took to the helipad to sing ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’ and ‘Nessun dorma’ which was used during the the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy 🇮���� ⚽️
Planning for our summer meeting is at advanced stage. Super excited that @mymenopausedr Dr Louise Newson, featured in today’s Sunday Times will be speaking. Further deets announced soon. Please retweet.
One more “ thanks for putting together the BEST conference I’ve ever been to . I feel invigorated & empowered after the talks & have returned with a whole load of new mates & fresh idea “= job done ! @WIMIN_UK@RCoANews#wimin20
How to explain dying: if you’re a Healthcare professional, please watch this. If you are going to die one day, please watch this 😉 and give that’s everyone on Twitter and many billion beside, please share this! ⬇️ #havetheconversation@drkathrynmannix
@WestSuffolkNHS@Liz_ORiordan What a terrible shame that it got to this point . Shocking leadership & unbearable stress for the brave few who stood their ground in the face of appalling managerial behaviour . Those people are owed a very over due apology
@lisneubeck Due to my career I had children relatively late ie as a consultant - by the time I had crawled out of the baby / toddler trenches , the men had been busy climbing the greasy pole & I found myself left behind with all the doors closed . Set up @WIMIN_UK to find a voice !
