Thank you Ruth @CNOEngland , Nancy @nancyoneill99 Helen @HelenBfdCCGs Diane @dianemckerr bev @Bgearyyork and Nav @DrNavChana and @NAPC_NHS and everyone for this. I would have been in such trouble, she never looked for anything for herself as you know :) David x

Julie loved nursing and so proud to be one. Since prognosis she was determined to make the time left be about others. Me, the lads and Isaac but also revisiting love, care and kindness - the heart of nursing. Thank you @CNOEngland for honouring her with the gold award. David x

Over last few weeks she has said we are just normal, nothing special, a bit boring but happy, blessed and content. It has been my absolute privilege and joy to think if this journey is normal then how amazing. We had no regrets and lived happy and kind. It's a simple game.. Love

Dear all, I really have no words for this. The love of my life, Julie Bolus died yesterday. She has been exceptional as a wife, mum, nurse and friend. She lived with love and wanted us to be kind and care. It been my honour to be her husband. We have lived every minute. David

My last post has taken some time. Seems a large inoperable brain tumor makes trying to type tough. I will only wish I could continue our nursing conversation and hope you continue to keep nursing relevant checking out x

[Julie Bolus 🏳️‍🌈💙 @juliembolus]

I could not be prouder of my fantastic kids. That even dispite our personal tragic story they have continued to care for others less fortunate than themselves. #bekind

[Julie Bolus 🏳️‍🌈💙 @juliembolus]

Thank you to my fabulous family and friends for their love and generosity. I am unable to read much of what has been written because of the tumor but feel the love. Continue to be kind and generous to those less fortunate than yourselves.

[Julie Bolus 🏳️‍🌈💙 @juliembolus]

For my family and for other people's families. Nursing has given me every dream and hope please keep improving our profession, our patients deserve it. My prognosis is very limited but I will live all my life as a nurse.

[Julie Bolus 🏳️‍🌈💙 @juliembolus]

I have been a proud nurse for all my life and would not have changed one moment of my chosen profession. No one has any more right than anyone else to escape from cancer but we need to keep trying so that families can survive and thrive. It's been the honour of my life to care

[Julie Bolus 🏳️‍🌈💙 @juliembolus]

My darling mother is incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support and continues to have a deep reverence for her colleagues across health care. Here is Jules doing what she does best, because you should always be the first on the dancefloor.

Today has been a devastating day I seem to have managed to have had a devastating cancer diagnosis. I have been so loved. I know my life will be short but how blessed I have been.

I think I will need neuro referral. I am having to work hard to make any sense. San. I could be in here months without anyone making awanse. Of me

[Robert Peston @Peston]

NHS head Simon Stevens just skewered @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak and @MattHancock by confirming he and the NHS had been budgeting for a 2.1% pay rise for staff this year, which compares with the government’s recommendation nurses should get just 1%. When asked by @Jeremy_Hunt...

[Julie Bolus 🏳️‍🌈💙 @juliembolus]

The acute confusion is not only irritating it's tiresome. Taking ages to form simple words. It's taken 6 minutes to write this sentence. I'm taking some off to see what is happening. Thank you for you patience and kindness.

[Julie Bolus 🏳️‍🌈💙 @juliembolus]

@geoff_shenton I did a list of 50 at 50 one of them was to stop being scared of dogs x

[Robert Peston @Peston]

Ministers say the 1% pay rise they want for nurses is a “real” above-inflation increase. But their own official forecaster the ⁦@OBR_UK⁩ said only two days ago that it would be a “real” decrease in pay. See attached. So slightly odd ministers keep making this bizarre claim

I guess we can only do our best to create spaces for listening for our friends families and teams @NHSNLaG have access to these sessions #spacesforlistening #SuicideAwareness #SuicidePrevention

Following the sad sad news this week of my spouses friend taking his own life. I am reflecting on whether I do enough to reach out to those who may be experiencing loneliness.
