Dover gridlocked as port boss declares 'critical incident' https://t.co/lfHP15fRT4 #carers unable to get to home visits as HGVs cut off all routes through town. #groundhogday#Dover
@bbcsoutheast#Dover completely gridlocked and #care staff unable to get to vital visits. This has happened multiple times this year, putting lives at risk. HGVs on town centre roads with engines off.
Prepared for disruption but... #Dover gridlocked with HGVs. My staff need to get to care visits and are struggling as town centre at a standstill. Staff cars parked on 'back roads' to avoid this, but they are also blocked. Any suggestions?
⚠️This is the peak weekend for the summer getaway and all cross-Channel routes are expected to be very busy. Please be prepared for potential disruption.
#Dover is in #gridlock and my staff have visits that cannot be missed and are unable to get through. Why are HGVs still allowed through the town centre?
⚠️Look out for older people and others who may find it more difficult to stay cool and hydrated in hot weather.

Very good chart from #MetOffice showing that extreme heat is becoming more frequent. It’s not about “…we’ve had heatwaves before”…it’s about trends and this becoming the future norm. Next couple of days we will likely add a white disc ⚪️ off that scale…#climatechange 🌏📈🌡

Apologies for my ignorance, but where is the risk in supporting an older adult to put surgical stockings on? We've been told this is for DNs only, which seems a waste of a very busy #nursing resource, when our staff are onsite and willing to help. #GenuinelyConfused
Last year the Government set out their plans to ‘fix social care’. But their plans will not, now or in the future:
- Cut the wait for millions needing social care
- Address the shortage of care workers
- Provide enough help for unpaid carers
#SocialCareIsntFixed
Today, I was presented with the Gold Award for Oustanding Services To Social Care from the Chief Nursing Officer for Adult Social Care Prof Deborah Sturdy OBE.
What a wonderful surprise... I am shocked, teary and lost for words. I truly am so very honoured.
