Directorate Manager for T&O #proudtobeops

[Jaimi Shrive @Jaimi_Shrive]

I cannot imagine what it must be like for the lionesses to have WON the euros, then get 2nd in the World Cup, just for Harry Kane to say ‘England hasn’t won anything as a nation for a long, long time’.

Also, female athletes have won gold at the last FOUR Winter Olympics 🙃

[Becky Smith @BeckySm72009011]

So proud of our operational teams in T & O winning team of the month for March. I’m late in posting it ! Their dedication and effort makes such a difference to our patients. Well done! @Lex_Gardner_ @KimberleyWoods_

[Becky Smith @BeckySm72009011]

A big shout out to our admissions/performance team in T & O who have worked so hard over the last few weeks ensuring our long waiters are dated. Ready for the next challenge @WWLNHS @KimberleyWoods_ @wrightington16 @Lex_Gardner_

The last time it snowed this much at work I was a chalet girl in the French alps, not the Directorate Manager for Trauma and Orthopaedics….could have done with skis for getting down Parbold Hill ⛷️ ❄️ 🏥 🖊️

[Becky Smith @BeckySm72009011]

The newly appointed Trauma & Orthopaedic operational team at WWL want to thank the directorate for making us so welcome during our first few weeks in post. @Lex_Gardner_ @KimberleyWoods_ @wrightington16

@dianesmith19 One place I tried to register the baby with would only register her (NHS) if I registered as Private!!! Since when where there financial conditions on NHS services for children based on their parents??

[Lex Gardner @Lex_Gardner_]

How is it possible that none of the 15 NHS #dentists I’ve tried to register myself and my daughter with are taking on NHS patients? I’ve been trying for months and now I need dental work done and will have to pay despite being exempt. Not good enough! #nhs #nhsdentist #dentalcare

[Lex Gardner @Lex_Gardner_]

@dianesmith19 I get the difference in price, it’s commissioning and profit etc. What I don’t get is how they just can’t see you or accept you. Why is there a limit? You HAVE to be given an NHS gp, why not a dentist?

[Lex Gardner @Lex_Gardner_]

@K_Fletcher_MP can you help?

[Lex Gardner @Lex_Gardner_]

Also the dental hospitals aren’t seeing emergency patients “because covid” - why is an elective patient any different to an emergency patient (crying in pain trying to look after a 9m old)

[Lex Gardner @Lex_Gardner_]

@dianesmith19 The baby or the bag? 😂😂

[Lex Gardner @Lex_Gardner_]

Have been debating buying a bag I fancied. Then my daughter was up 3 times in 6 hours last night. Long story short, my new bag arrives tomorrow.

[Lex Gardner @Lex_Gardner_]

@dianesmith19 This is true...but I probably didn’t need to get next day delivery, I mean where am I going? Made me feel better about being up at 12, 3 and 5 though 🤷🏻‍♀️ for a little bit at least

[Lex Gardner @Lex_Gardner_]

@doc_alok Busted! Though I’d happily swap alcohol for this virus to do one!

[Lex Gardner @Lex_Gardner_]

I keep watching Lee Scoresby on #HisDarkMaterials and am expecting him to start rapping #iamnotthrowingawaymyshot

[Lex Gardner @Lex_Gardner_]

What the actual???

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Venture capitalist Kate Bingham is married to a Tory minister & has *no* experience in healthcare.

So @BorisJohnson made her head of his “vaccines taskforce”.

She’s spent £670k of public money on PR consultants.

Grotesque cronyism.

@S_Prescottx15x It’s not quite clear re childcare, as I’m not working at the moment! Though if I need care support when I’m sick or need a break I would call on mum for sure! Can’t bubble as I’m not a single adult household! Fortunately it’s come out that under 4s don’t count as a person now yay

@NadineDorries @hope_mennim 🙌🙌🙌

[Lex Gardner @Lex_Gardner_]

@micbai71 Thanks Mike - like I say, I’m so so lucky to have my little one and to spend so much time with her so won’t ever begrudge that! But there’s only so many times you can sing “wheels on the bus” before you want to set the damn thing on fire you know? Hope you’re well x

THIS

[Holte 🇪🇺 @holte]

So this month we have learned that Boris and his Tory Government have no money left for the North of England

But the minute safe Tory seats go in to lockdown, the "Magic Money Tree" finds a way to fully finance the furlough scheme to the entire nation
