But a special shout out to our #socialcare nurses who give great clinical care, compassion and leadership in very different environments to colleagues in #NHS . Their roles are often misunderstood and under appreciated, so it’s been great to see The RCN raising their profile ❤️

On #InternationalNursesDay2024 experiencing firsthand #NHS and good people working in it. Nurses (and consultant) Poole Hospital Mark Mould brilliant today. Do your screenings people: bowel, cervical, breast etc. A privilege for us to have this & early detection key 🙏

So true. Felt exactly this last night watching my mum, watching things. Changing expressions & emotions crossing her face. What is ‘her world’ like now, I will never know but did I ever really know. She’s here, still experiencing things & responding, albeit very differently.

Always good to contribute…challenges facing social care but also…what about all the good things? And why we need to be challenged about our narrative #socialcare #community
