1/ This is a *really* important thread🧵 re current pensions consultation. I need you to take time to read it properly & watch the 2 videos / modelling done with @gdcuk

They are trying to steal your pension, whilst pretending they are fixing a problem. Read, 👀 2 videos & RT

• NHS Hospital Carpark: 150,000 NHS workers charged £400+ a year to park at work, deducted from their wage.

• Houses of Parliament: MPs enjoy a free underground car park with zero cost since 2015, paid for by you the taxpayer.

Nurses’ fight is our fight.

On Friday 15th May 2020 at 1 pm we held a minute’s silence on our ward (and throughout our hospital) in memory of those who died from Covid - little did we know that the PM & friends were enjoying a garden party that same afternoon.

Great to see this priority setting survey for research in childhood neurological conditions - only takes 10-15 minutes

[Tori the OT @Tori_Doll_]

Little reminder for everyone (including myself) who works in healthcare. It’s still busy, it’s hectic & there’s still no end in sight. We continue to show up as our best selves for our patients. But we can’t keep this up without showing ourselves the same level of #kindness.

On the day in question, we were having to time limit visits of next-of-kin on ITU to a max of 15 mins (with a stop-watch)..some didn’t survive. We owe it to them for the Police to investigate….which should NOT be difficult as there is a log of all those who entered Downing St.

@RosaCheesman (2/2) school resources, family availability, and ADHD medication (consistency of, or on it at all). Good to see this Ro, would love to catch up about it soon!

[Joanna Smith @joannasmithOT]

@RosaCheesman Significant variability from an OT perspective, in terms of how schools are implementing child centred strategies to work with children with ADHD rather than attempting them to conform to a neurotypical model. Anecdotally, I've seen this vary depending on staff education (1/2)

@CYPF_ASDForum @RCOT_CYPF Hi! Will a recording be available after the event?
