My journey from cardiac arrest to sport🏊♀️🚴♀️🏃♀️Stoma • bowel cancer. Once on Radio4 DNACPR • ReSPECT • EOLC • Dignity in Dying. #TacklingTheStomaStigma💜
This was me 11 months ago; standing for less than a minute with the help of a physio & a nurse.
Through weakness, pain & nausea, I dreamt that I could #SwimBikeRun again
Today I made it back to triathlon 🏊♀️ 🚴 🏃♀️

When should we be doing #AdvancedCarePlanning?
The answer is in the name…
It shouldn’t be done in an emergency.
All members of staff asked thought #ReSPECT was great but struggled to find a ‘good time’.
*we won’t rob people of help, we can write down their wishes*
#SOA2025
An important reminder - look beyond the patient and support the people around the patient, it’s this network which is key in helping the patient recover both psychologically and physically once discharged. #SOA25#recoverybeyondsurvival @NCEPOD
📊Alongside our Comparative Reports, we’ve created easy-to-digest infographics for CMP and NCAA — and for the first time, thanks to feedback from our PPI representatives, non-clinical versions too! 🧠💬

#ICU#CriticalCare#MedEd
More than a third of UK adults in the UK do not know what the symptoms of bowel cancer are. April is bowel cancer awareness month, so let’s get talking about them 👇
8 years ago I woke up in the worst pain I’d ever been in after my stoma surgery, terrified what a future with a stoma would mean…
Turns out I needn’t have worried 🙃💜
Happy 8th Stomaversary to my stoma that allows me to keep doing crazy things 🕶️
