Sister Steph educating colleagues on stroke prevention and amazing brain cakes made by talented colleagues - all in celebration of stroke awareness month @KingsCollegeNHS Special thanks to Marco and Friends Stroke Unit Team for a fab display.
Just finished the final one of about 20 Football Hero and Legend books we’ve read in this football mad household this year. Thanks @footieheroesbks for this great series and the opportunity for me and my boys to perfect our best ‘goooooaaaaalllll’ commentary voices each bedtime!
Great week at work, brought down by parenting fail. Won a big charity bid, managed the juggle that is single parent on-call (thanks grandparents) but forgot to remind son it was PE and he got a negative mark in 3rd week of big school. The guilt. But #onlyhuman I guess! @FlexNHS
To the @tfl bus driver who gave my son (and me) an understanding smile as he got on the bus & the @lb_southwark crossing guard who asked the boy in the too big blazer ‘did you have a nice first day?’ - thank you for looking out for nervous Year 7s on their 1st day at big school!
Named our kitten LucyBronze a year ago and will never again be embarrassed to shout her name out in the street. Amazing cat, even more amazing #Lionesses Zero years of hurt!
Spent a day and feeling upset & anger about the SCOTUS decision and worse reading more about restrictive abortion laws across many parts of Europe. Taking 1st step to channel rage by setting up regular donation to @AbortionSupport who help women access safe care in UK and Europe
@KateBurkeNHS @FlexNHS Also putting together a presentation on flexible working policy vs lived experience for our next women’s network meeting - will be interesting to hear people’s experience in my Trust in different roles
@KateBurkeNHS @FlexNHS I was feeling guilty that one of my friends was helping me with the childcare juggle far more than I was reciprocating. I voiced this to her and she rolled her eyes and said ‘it’s not a problem, it’s feminist solidarity’ and I couldn’t have loved her more.
Pleased that my habit of writing stuff on my hand actually came in useful today and reminded a few colleagues to get to the polling station after work!#vote#LocalElections2022
Ahh, @STGMaternity always have a place in my heart as amazing colleagues and for helping me bring 3 babies into the world! Happy #IDM2022 @RezvaniArezou @Chelmidi@JanBrad81182927 and all!
Is there a good thread or other resources about what NHS organisations are doing to help staff with the cost of living crisis? Keen to hear what’s working or what’s not worked. Any ideas @KateBurkeNHS @FlexNHS
