@statgodtips After following statbot, I'm changing everything to robots. Gonna get myself a robot hoover, robot assistant and even a robot wife.

And still none of them will compare to my Statbot 💙

Thank you for submitting your audition for the next series of #LineofDuty but we’re looking for a character with at least one redeeming moral principle and a performance that places even just a scintilla of doubt in the audience’s mind that he might not be totally bent

@WeCYPnurses A combination of the top 2, maybe with a tiny bit of the 3rd and 4th hopefully at some point today!

@liamstarkey84 @carlsberg 'We're just helping her be herself, that's all' is the greatest thing I've ever heard. Genuinely. Forget promote independence and all that, this is the motto that anyone who helps ANYONE in the public, private or voluntary sector should live by.

@Lanie_Elaine78 @Danwhite1972 @HelenAshby72 @SarahSpoorUK @makedoandSEND @draevans @pdadaduk @TheRealGrumpDad @BBCNews @BBCBreakfast @GMB @dridleyitv He does have very real lived experience though. Also, if people who have no lived experience have no right to comment, then we will be waiting a lot longer for disability/carer equality. That's what solidarity is for.

Nothing against @UEA_Health because this decision clearly wasn't taken lightly. But this is what I have been talking about since day 1 of my Twitter. This isn't 'leading' to crisis point, this is way past crisis point. Sorry for the loss of this course folks. Hope it can return

Seeing a lot of criticism of the NMC from Midwives/St. Midwives regarding the organisations 'stance' on the march. I am all about solidarity but isn't the NMC's standpoint that unless this is organised action it shouldn't be in work time? Which is correct? Happy to be corrected

@JamesRuFletcher @dr_shibley That's a really interesting way to look at things, thank you for that.

[Mike Burns @Nursing_Mike]

@JamesRuFletcher @dr_shibley being missed in that manner. It is so easy and doesn't have anything to do with staffing etc. The bigger things ie. finding out about a patients life, creating a OPP etc are harder to do when drastically understaffed.

[Mike Burns @Nursing_Mike]

@JamesRuFletcher @dr_shibley told me their name. When I got to the specialist hospital, I knew the name of every doctor, nurse, everybody on the surgical team. They were just as hard pushed as the original hospital but found the 3 seconds to say 'Hello, my name is...'. There is never an excuse for the basics

[Mike Burns @Nursing_Mike]

@dr_shibley I would love to do a study about what happens. Like, at what point do those same nurses who were so passionate about it at Uni just lose it? Is it just the system kicking the preverbal out of them for a couple of years?

[Mike Burns @Nursing_Mike]

@TimAshby7 @EmergMedDr @gasbagheera I feel like I am in the Sound of Music. But thank you that is a help.

Today, I want to remind people to embrace their skills and shout about them. We don't do it enough but are quick to shout about our shortcomings. I am an excellent orator and highly skilled communicator. I'm also brilliant at thinking outside the box. How about you? Lets hear it
