🧵 Yesterday I saw a video of @Palomafaith talking of how sometimes she’d like to be sectioned so she can spend a couple of weeks just reading and relaxing away from the world. I had a real reaction to this.

Strive to be an authentic leader

It’s about being real, honest & being true to your values. Not about authority or pleasing your senior leaders

You are just you, are consistent and not playing a role

You make personal connections with others, lead from the heart & are honest

[Dr Dan Warrender @dan_warrender]

I enjoyed presenting some of my PhD data on the experiences of #MentalHealth nurses at an @NHSEngland webinar today. Grim content but important we're honest about how stressful and traumatising the role can be. The role absolutely requires a decent education. #MHDeservesBetter

@JaynieEcclesx 🤣 I was having a good look at the dry robe wankers page 🙈

We need to solve the overcrowding crisis in A&E. I may have the solution!

It came to me whilst reading my son " A squash and a squeeze" by Julia Donaldson (author of the Gruffalo)

A&E Squash and a Squeeze, adapted by Rob Galloway

A little old A&E, lived all by itself , with cubicles and chairs and a water jug on the shelf.

A wise old health secretary heard her grumble and grouse, “There’s not enough room in my A&E house.

Wise old health secretary, won’t you help me, please? My A&E house is a squash and a squeeze.”

“Take in your drunk and disorderly patients” said the wise old health secretary man

“Take in my drunk and disorderly patients? What a curious plan.”

Kept in A&E, instead of a cell, they vomited on the rug,

And flapped round the cubicle, knocking over the jug.
.
The little old A&E cried, “I implore? It was poky before and it’s tiny for more.

My nose has a tickle and there’s no room to sneeze. My A&E house is a squash and a squeeze.”

And she said, “Wise old health secretary, won’t you help me, please? My A&E house is a squash and a squeeze.”

“Take in your awaiting medical bed patients,” said the wise old health secretary man.
.
“Take in my awaiting medical bed patients? What a curious plan.”

Well, the awaiting medical bed patients pulled back the curtains and trod on the bed,

``then sat down to eat via her long term peg.

The little old A&E cried, “Glory be! It was tiny before and it’s titchy for more.

The drunks attacked the awaiting medical bed patients and the awaiting medical bed patients got fleas. My house is a squash and a squeeze.”

And she said, “Wise old health secretary, won’t you help me, please? My A&E house is a
squash and a squeeze.”

“Take in your awaiting mental health bed patients ” said the wise old health secretary man.

“Take in my awaiting mental health bed patients ? What a curious plan.”

So she took in awaiting mental health bed patients who kept pressing the alarms in cubicle ten

And raising everyone’s blood pressure again and again.

The little old A&E cried, “Stop, I implore! It was titchy before and it’s teeny for more.

Even the mental health patients in the cubicles agrees, My A&E house is a squash and a squeeze.”

And she said, “Wise old health secretary, won’t you help me, please? My house is a
squash and a squeeze.”

“Open an urgent care centre,” said the wise old health secretary man
.
“Open an urgent care centre? What a curious plan.”

Well, the urgent care centre attracted the 111 referred worried well,

Whose long waits created an unpleasant waiting room smell

The little old A&E cried, “Heavens alive! It was teeny before and it’s weeny for more

I’m tearing my hair out, I’m down on my knees. My A&E house is a squash and a squeeze.”

And she said, “Wise old health secretary , won’t you help me, please? My house is a squash and a squeeze.”

“Take them all out,” said the wise old health secretary man.

“But then I’ll be back where I first began.”

So she persuade the police to remove the aggressive men

“That’s better – at last I can sneeze again.”

They opened up ward beds and she gave a jig

“My A&E house is beginning to feel pretty big.”

She persuaded the 111 patients to self discharge where safety would allow.

“Just look at my A&E house, it’s enormous now”.

“Thank you, old health secretary for saving the day, Our A&E is so big now, our staff might just stay.
.
There’s no need to grumble and there’s no need to grouse. There’s plenty of room in my A&E house.”

And now she’s full of frolics and fiddle-de-dees. It isn’t a squash and it isn’t a squeeze.

Yes, she’s full of frolics and fiddle-de-dees.

It isn’t a squash or a squeeze.

A POST ABOUT BURN OUT

Yesterday a preceptorship nurse and I had our first supervision. In the morning, she had told me she was glad to be having it as she had several things on her mind. We made a time later the same day. Sadly, by after lunch, she was in tears in the Nursing 1
