@Palomafaith I’m 40 today and at the hexagon waiting to hear you. Cannot wait. My sister, Bex, doesn’t think you’ll shout out 😱🫣💜

@MidwivesRCM

@joan_myers the best session of #rcmconf22 by far. Inspiring, motivational, uplifting, full of positivity. The perfect antidote to slump in staff morale.

@TicketmasterCS STILL no tickets 😡

@ticketmaster had put non existent email address on my order

May be able to link a new email address to my order

BUT less than 24h to go & this STILL hasn’t been done

No reply from customer service since 18:00 🤷🏻‍♀️

Can’t book hotel…in limbo

[Kate Ashforth @kate_ashforth]

@TicketmasterUK “customer service” beyond belief. Concert in 3 days, no tickets, £200 on credit card. No email confirmation. 1 hour waiting for an agent to be free on webchat. Going to have to cancel hotel otherwise I’ll be paying £100+ to stay for gig with no tickets ☹️😡

[Kate Ashforth @kate_ashforth]

@TicketmasterCS I’ve never had an order confirmation or tickets. And I cannot get through to anyone to discuss

[Kate Ashforth @kate_ashforth]

@TicketmasterCS Done. I would be very grateful if you could message me please. 1h10 minutes waiting for an agent on webchat

[Kate Ashforth @kate_ashforth]

@TicketmasterCS Done

@AlisonBrindle @NHSLeadership I’m doing this at the moment and enjoying it. There seem to be fewer in-house training opportunities (that aren’t stat and mand days) due to Covid/staffing/acuity so this seemed like a good programme

A year ago I read @MichaelRosenYes’s poem about the NHS on @BBCr4today. He had Covid and was fighting for his life in ICU. So 12 months later, it is wonderful to have him here on @BBCNews reading it himself. Thanks @charliemackesy for illustrating so beautifully #bbcnews10

@doctorrah Laughter, listening, a culture of women at the centre of all care & communication, lack of hierarchy (everyone can make tea), MDT training & teaching, respect, no blame culture, understanding of each other’s roles, compassion towards everyone, inclusivity, ❤️

@MuddledDaddy My thoughts exactly 🤣 do I think they’ll do it for kids of key workers I hear my kids cry... better bloody not do 😬

[Kate Ashforth @kate_ashforth]

@amybisson124 Well done! You’re doing brilliantly 🏃‍♀️🤩

[Kate Ashforth @kate_ashforth]

One day... 💙

[charlie mackesy @charliemackesy]

So much waiting. One day ...

[charlie mackesy @charliemackesy]

Bit by bit.

@Sam_P_Midwife Sleep normally the night before, have a nap before work. Have a good dinner not too long before you start. Take snacks, an emergency cereal bar in your pocket, a jumper for your break, headphones. Enjoy it, take it all in, talk to everyone, be yourself 🤩

@myGPapp The thing I’ve never thought when going for a cervical smear:

I hope they like my pubic hair (same applies to my choice of pants)

The thing I always think when going for a cervical smear:

I hope they don’t re-traumatise me

(Also: I hope I don’t have a panic attack)

[Kate Ashforth @kate_ashforth]

❤️

[charlie mackesy @charliemackesy]

Hold on.
