Lots of banging noises outside. I find my Romanian neighbours have rebuilt my fence which had fallen down a while ago.

When I offered money/beer as gratitude, they said it was better to do nice things rather than expect something.

Bloody foreigners coming here & building fences

[PCN Review @PCNReview]

The alternatives suggested in the original article are ridiculous - more likely to worry a patient, especially as they are largely meaningless ters if you are not a qualified healthcare professional. Why not start by banning terms such as battle, fight and jourmey

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

"Renaming cancer simply to obfuscate the diagnosis from the patient, in order to reduce anxiety, surely smacks of paternalism and a lack of candour. I say keep the word but educate your patient" #BMJresponse https://t.co/8cppMWpWKy

@nicolacullum @TPExpressTrains You're getting giddy now! 😁

[PCN Review @PCNReview]

I am ashamed to be a registrant under this regime. And I am angry that the CEO did not have the guts to face the media on the day the report was published. And I am angry that the Council/NEDs etc allowed this to happen. Not just one mistake, a toxic culture was created https://t.co/izSRnRi9JZ

[Mary Daly @MB_Daly]

@ShaunLintern I would be ashamed were I still a member of the nursing and membership council. The profession I left at all levels, the NMC being just one arm, has been losing its way for decades. the leadership are a self serving elite contemptuous of real clinicians and the patients we serve

[Fraser Morton @frasermorton07]

@ShaunLintern And by not fit for purpose I also mean in their duty to their members. Our son and others died in a maternity unit that was found to be requiring "investment and improvement". The midwives were under tremendous pressure due to shortages which resulted in a lack or training.

[Michelle Russell @MotherMRuss]

@ShaunLintern @nmcnews failed 2 protect me from a corrupt process.They failed 2 protect my colleagues+public.Nurses have a code of https://t.co/cfZInpH0Cw states we must comply with investigations.I would suggest every trained nurse involved with my case who has covered up should be referred

[Fraser Morton @frasermorton07]

@ShaunLintern The NMC are not fit for purpose. An investigation in 2017 found that substandard care contributed to the deaths of 6 babies from 2012 to 2017. To compound these failings Scotland has no independent health regulator or HSIB.
