Nurses
Teachers
Ambulances
NHS Physios
Junior Doctors (being balloted)
Train drivers
Teachers
University staff
Civil servants
Postal workers
Fire Brigade
Criminal barristers

All of these services striking.

They can’t all be wrong.

The people are not the problem.

[Intensive Care Society 💙 @ICS_updates]

Talking through the importance of total UK adherence to GPICS standards at our #APPG on intensive care to ensure safe patient care.

GPICS standards are not aspirational, they are fundamental to provide the best possible care we can.

Queen Elizabeth II longtime dresser Angela Kelly shares how the Queen told her she had an urge to pose for a photo with her hands in her pockets, a pose which she hadn't been photographed in before.

[Kate Tantam (She/her) @TantamKate]

So we work out a time for her to come back into #ICU

To meet the #MDT team that cared for her and to see the #Secretgarden that she remembers

Do not underestimate the #LittleThings

Do not underestimate the impact of your voice

At the till in supermarket …

“You aren’t #ICU Kate are you? ”

“Err …. Yes ”

“ I remember your voice…You made me feel safe”

Patient starts crying, lady in queue behind me starts crying….

If you work in ICU you need to read this thread ⬇️

Words matter and we must not forget every interaction even when we perceive patient “can’t hear ”
