@JoWatson99 Congrats and well done Jo. You’ve been such a valued and strong supporter of the NHS and wider system throughout.
New horizons beckon now. Thanks for all your hard work and commitment 🎉👏🙏 (and join the club!) x
The circular #NHS workforce conversation:
A: "Should we do X or Y?"
B: "We need to look at the data"
C: "The data will be from ESR"
D: "ESR is very inaccurate"
E: "Yep, we'll need to perform a 'data cleanse' first"
6 months later.
A: "Shall we do X or Y?"
In 2010, 70% of you were satisfied with the NHS.
Now, only 24% are.
14 years of Tory government understaffing, underfunding & private sector outsourcing have trashed the NHS into a travesty of the service we want to give you.
It is heartbreaking & so disgustingly wrong 😔
I have just finished another set of incredibly difficult weekend nights as the A&E consultant incharge.
Some thoughts:
The NHS no longer provides unscheduled care - we provide treatment. Care is with dignity - that's impossible for our patients in corridors.
The model of acute care is not working or sustainable. We need a completely different approach - with long term investment in prevention and community care
111 need to change risk thresholds as far too many come to a&e when they don't need to.
There needs to be alternative pathways to get care overnight for those who don't have accidents or emergencies. A&E shouldn't be anything and everything
Staff are broke - supporting staff is just as vital as looking after patients
This government have totally decimated our the NHS. They are the ones who should be apologising to our patients not our staff.
Hundreds are dying each week because of lack of hospital capacity and corridor care in a&e, yet it's not on the news and no public uproar. As staff and patients we have accepted the unacceptable.
Everyone needs to know the reality of what is happening - so that politicians offer a different solution and patients get the care they deserve. Sadly most of the public have no idea of what is genuinely going on.
And finally, a post night fry up is the best antidote for the stresses of the weekend. Goodnight!
@tomlinsonlindam@edfenergy were ignoring my monthly meter readings - Nov bill (for one mth) was £978! I switched .. complete exploitation because I didn’t have a DD set up. Leave, run, switch asap. Dec final bill was £409. Con artists @edfenergy
Having experienced wildly escalating electricity bills from @edfenergy I perceived that monthly metered readings were being ignored. I felt at their mercy so #switched
Final bill was 50% lower than any other monthly charge! A disgraceful abuse of power.
@hharniess @NHS_NELondon Fabulous news Hannah - great to have AHP’s firmly placed at the heart of workforce capacity snd capabilities. You’ll be amazing 👏🎉
@jane_milligan Thank you for all your hard work and inspiration Jane. It was a pleasure working with you during your CEO role. Time to pass on the baton now 💙 Enjoy the new chapter.
RIP Matthew Perry 💔
A light has dimmed today for many of us who lived the ‘Friends’ genre 🙏
I had no idea of his personal battles with addiction and the significant impact on his life. #mentalhealth 💙
@Bournemouthecho what’s happening in Poole? Emergency services frantically attending something major by the level of attendance from both Poole and Bournemouth fire crews?
Is anyone else really worried for the NHS? The future is looking really worrying from where I’m sitting - ICB’s are not fit for purpose and they have no powers? Workforce is at a critical tipping point @RishiSunak?
