So proud to work for @NottsHealthcare and be a part of an amazing Respiratory Nurse Specialist Team 🌟

[Mansfield & Ashfield Community Respiratory Nurses @Rockrespiratory]

Wow - now that's a high JVP!

[Keith Siau @drkeithsiau]

If you see the ear wiggling, this could be a sign of heart or lung problems. This patient here has tricuspid valve regurgitation causing such a high jugular venous pressure that it is hitting the right earlobe #WithConsent

A new study has found that most workplace wellness programs don't have much benefit.

Providing workshops and mindfulness classes and coaching for workers has become a billion-dollar industry.

The Oxford research found that better pay and better schedules would be more helpful.

@DoctorJLam Airway clearance for bronchiectasis is a bit like tending a garden. If you are out there once or twice a day nipping the weeds out, your garden will look nicer for longer and it’s likely you’ll have to use fewer chemicals and hard work when the weeds are overgrown.

The smile says it all.. 😊

[Ruth @RuthWoff]

Fascinating gathering this feedback from patients, just shows how much they value education on their lung conditions and the difference Respiratory Nurses make to their lives @nottshc

[Hiedi Swift @swift_hied56589]

So we decided to ask a group of patients.... "if you were asked to pick the most important components of a good Respiratory service". What would you say would be the most important elements to you? Thanks to Ruth for collecting and collating ❤️. #rockrespiratory, #nottshealthcare

While bumble bees live socially in hives usually located underground (with 50 - 500 individuals), foragers or males can happen to sleep in flowers, especially when tired after too much work

[BookTrust @Booktrust]

Disadvantaged children are growing up without books of their very own. Without books that they can love and cherish. And without a favourite bedtime story that they want to read again and again. Become a BookTrust Friend and help us reach more children with the magic of reading.

[Ruth @RuthWoff]

Very sobering reading - more needs to be done to tackle health inequalities

[PCRS @PCRSUK]

A new report from @asthmalunguk examines #inequalities and lung conditions. The new analysis found that people with #LungConditions living in poverty are twice as likely to be admitted to hospital and more likely to die from their lung conditions.

[Asthma + Lung UK @asthmalunguk]

Our report, due to be published next month, will reveal the difficulties people face accessing a test for #COPD. Not enough is being done to provide access to spirometry testing, leaving thousands undiagnosed and missing out on vital treatment. https://t.co/NXrVeXiFCb

Speaking to Sky News, the BBC correspondent, who revealed his own bowel cancer diagnosis in 2019, implored those who received NHS test kits to use them https://t.co/G4cX482XaU

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

So Sunak finally admits that #NHS waiting lists *are* going up. But let's be clear, junior doctors & nurses striking for fair & decent pay isn't the cause of our NHS in crisis - it's the symptom of 13 years of Tory Govt underfunding, understaffing & undervaluing it. #PMQs

[Ruth @RuthWoff]

I'm so proud and privileged to care for people in their own homes, it never stops being rewarding

“I think it’s a wonderful thing, I really do… you’re getting good care, that’s the main thing.”

This new @NHSEngland film follows the #VirtualWards (also known as #HospitalAtHome) team @NTeesHpoolNHSFT as they visit Marion, who has COPD, at home

[Nursing Standard @NurseStandard]

District nurses are potentially thousands of pounds out of pocket because of ‘woefully’ out-of-date mileage rates, new research suggests.

Do you drive for work?
