Accessing patient records out of curiosity or for personal reasons is completely unacceptable. It’s a breach of patient trust, and against the law. Doing this could put your NHS career and future at risk.

Congratulations to all our NHS staff recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours list.
It’s wonderful to see colleagues celebrated for their compassion and skill.
Why do so many leaders & professionals keep working at a punishing pace, even when it damages their health, well-being & relationships? And why do organisational initiatives aiming to curb extreme work hours, e.g., "no email after hours" policies, wellness initiatives - often fail?
New research suggests this isn’t about personal “workaholism” or “driven” personalities. Rather it is about people fitting with the relentless tempo of their organisations. This is underpinned by a sense of what you need to do to make career progress & cultural expectations of 24/7 availability. It creates a pace that feels impossible to clock out of, even after hours. Researchers call this an “entrainment cycle”. People come to feel that this pace is normal - even necessary. In the study, people often described the fast-paced tempo of work not as something they were forced into, but as something they craved or became “bored” without.
How organisations can break the cycle:
1) Address the tempo, not just the hours. Change how work is done, e.g., rethink project pacing, reduce artificial urgency, redesign calendars to allow for focus & reflection.
2) Be alert for warning signs - stress, disengagement, burnout early & respond before issues escalate.
3) Help people feel they have the cultural permission to pause. It's not enough to change schedules – expectations need to change. Taking breaks, disconnecting on non-work days & ignoring the inbox when on holidays should become organisational norms.

📈We’ve been looking at #MentalHealthData, which shows a record number of referrals (1.82M) to NHS #TalkingTherapies in 2023/24.
This is slightly higher than 2021/2022, and more than double the 884,000 received in 2012/13.

Thank you to the incredible NHS staff working over the Christmas period!
To the porters, paramedics, nurses, doctors, cleaners, pharmacists, midwives, and everyone continuing to care for our loved ones – thank you for everything you do, today and every day. 💙 #ThankYouNHS
The only thing holding up the #NHS is the staff. The least we can do is make sure their basic needs are met
I’m not taking about yoga, ponies or chocolates (as good as they are) It’s about breaks, flexible working, access to food, lockers, spiritual care & a chair to sit on 💙
