@SW_Help It wasn’t a case of not working, there were just no toilets available in any carriage. I checked with the guard to confirm too.

[Rebecca Griffiths @rhgriff]

@SW_Help what’s with reduced services, longer running trains and no access to toilets? Heavily pregnant on a train for 1hr6 (usually 30mins) with no toilet is a nightmare. (Waterloo>Guildford)

To our NHS colleagues and all Londoners celebrating #Diwali today – we hope your day is filled with light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance. 🪔

Day 5 of #RecycleWeek 2022. Would also like to thank all the local councils and waste services supporting the NHS with increasing walking aid return and reuse for sticks, frames and crutches. Lovely example of working collaboratively to make a difference 💚

[Suzanne Rastrick @SuzanneRastrick]

Increasing the amount of walking aids, such as crutches, walking sticks & frames, that are reused by patients is important

It helps:
🧩reduce the NHS carbon footprint
🧩the NHS to use its resources effectively
🧩save taxpayers money

Is it sad how excited I was to see my team's bin label posters in real life?! Great to see @QeFacilities signposting patients where to return their walking aids at @Gateshead_NHS

#RecycleWeek #GreenerNHS #NationalRecyclingWeek

[QE Facilities Ltd @QeFacilities]

Bring back your walking aids for recycling or Reuse!
The NEW Walking Aid scheme allows patients to return walking aids like crutches they no longer need!

[Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health & Care NHS @HWHCT_NHS]

Do you have NHS issued equipment stashed away in the loft or garage? The @HWHCT_WCES team have a return and reuse scheme; repairing and cleaning equipment ahead of reissuing to future patients 🩼🦽#NationalRecyclingWeek
