Highly recommend this webinar for all surgeons. An expert team (and me) talking about how to improve communication skills with patients after adverse events. This Tuesday!

I met this wee beauty today.

🚨 This weekend The Sunday Times paywall is down, meaning my and my colleagues back catalogue of incredible investigations and stories are FREE to read.

I thought I'd give you a brief 5 stories I think deserve your time: 1/6

Doesn’t surprise me. On some wards nurses are not allowed to use their judgment as to when obs are required, but must do them ever 4 hours, even if the patient is medically fit, for example pre elective surgery.

Just remember how amazing you are, for everything that you do 😀

I don’t think that you ever get used to them. 😔
If you have any key concerns or questions, write them down. At the beginning of the appointment you can say “I’m sure that you will cover these points, but so I don’t forget…” and hand them the questions.

That was all sand! We were on the beach in Whitstable, the tide was out and the sand was much wetter than I expected, as I sunk down into it. 💦

Think that me and Bob could become friends 🤣

My compatriot and fellow Crohn’s patient suggested we should make a podcast about IBD, so we did. First episode is now up on Spotify - open.spotify.com/show/0GgADPx...

First time felting. Not bad?
Realistic? 😂

Many of the CNS roles at my Trust are 1 to 2 year secondments. I’m finally settling in to my role and I will need to leave soon, as these secondments can’t be extended due to HR policies.

I wish the San Antonio Zoo was on here bc they are unbelievably funny on social media and also if you give them $10 they will name a cockroach after someone you hate and then feed it to an animal at the zoo

Lovely to find you too 😀

Maybe i’ll be more proactive about the posts that I like, and will never again liking a picture of a cat. Then hopefully my newsfeed will improve 🤔

A visit is definitely in my plans. Tying it back to the 1st Tuesday in the month may be difficult 😉

Ooh, I need to find a cheese club 🧀 🤔

There’s much in the Press about TicTok’s algorithm, but BSky seems equally bad, or is that just me?
But then not being in anyone’s ‘starter pack’ etc and no photo of a cat, no one will see this post anyway 🤷‍♀️

My news feed is full of rabbits?? 🐰 🥕 🥕
