Had a full & challenging agenda at PCCC. Very satisfying when hard work & prep pays off.Thanks & appreciation for teams excellent work from the Chair. Love seeing people grow just a little taller with a few words of praise-developing others is important! now a/l to rest & recover

@JaybayCraig @choo_ek 😂 thats a therapy to manage a condition. You don’t hide a condition by using a therapy to manage it. Unless it turns out all those poor souls on chemo are doing so to ensure no one knows they have cancer.

[PGBaker-NHS @pgbakes]

@choo_ek Openness about how you are coping / managing should never be a red flag. That simply incentivises the hiding of challenges to personal well-being. How does that help the individual OR reduce risk?

[PGBaker-NHS @pgbakes]

@wilfriedzaha I’m so sorry.

Well done for calling it out and reminding those who like to pretend racism is only in the history books that they’re wrong. - they know that of course.

@HynamPip As you should be. Well done.

[PGBaker-NHS @pgbakes]

Concur @SamuelHoldenNHS - v nice to come home to. The ‘little things’ are often received as ‘big things’. - Thanks @SimonTapley

Right across @NHSDevonCCG peoples flexibility around hours, area of focus, work setting etc was as swift and far-reaching as it was important.

[PGBaker-NHS @pgbakes]

@mandy_seymour It’s been fantastic to work alongside people I’ve not worked with before / for a long time. All just as committed to supporting and enabling primary care as those of us for whom it’s our regular role.

[PGBaker-NHS @pgbakes]

@nickymitchell13 Good luck. V pleased to hear you have a great team to return too. Stress disorders can manifest themselves in so many (often odd) ways that understanding, consideration and support for each other hugely important.

@julia_cory @ShaunLintern @CMO_England @uksciencechief Feels a little like incentivising risk...amongst those who are less well off and so are more likely to use the vouchers.

[PGBaker-NHS @pgbakes]

Found this to be a decent read. Was reading through ‘what is digital’ section reflecting I’m guilty of thinking of digital as specific ‘things’ rather than use of digital era thinking...then stumbled across a v small pic of me. ☺️

Grateful for anyone to call me out should I ever be something of a smellfungus.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

smellfungus (18th century): a grumbler, faultfinder, or one who likes to shift the blame for their own mistakes onto someone else.

[PGBaker-NHS @pgbakes]

@CNOEngland Wise words. Enjoy your break.

[PGBaker-NHS @pgbakes]

For the record - my experience was and is that care home workers and providers stepped up to do all they could to battle #covid19

@an50jos @Estonian01 @MartinDaubney @theJeremyVine Thanks @an50jos - though not exactly the rating one would aspire to, also not the case / no longer the case Greece is the only EU country behind UK.
