One of the psych wards in our trust ordered face masks. This is what they received. I kid you not and I don’t know whether to laugh or cry..... #covid19UK #COVID19 #mask #ProvideNHSwithPPE

The whole country: Internet explorer is dead. It won’t work anymore. NHS: Keep using it to check patients bloods as ICE won’t work on any other browser. I’m sure it’s safe despite numerous pop ups telling me to stop using it and it’s now unsafe.

Woken up at 6am to do a drug chart urgently for a new admission. “He hasn’t slept all night” “really?” “oh wait, no he’s currently asleep” “is he on any regular meds?” “I don’t know” “so what is the urgent need for the drug chart?” “I don’t know, I was told to ring” #SHOlife

These women (and their growing relationships with their babies) are the reason I #choosepsychiatry . Perinatal mental health needs to be at the forefront of the NHS. We need to be listening, educating and supporting women. #MothersOnTheEdge

The CMHT office have now asked us all to stop WFH and to return to the office. Because lots of staff are off unwell/isolating. So we should all crowd together and work in an office again. To prevent becoming unwell and having to isolate. Riiiiiight. #OkayThen #Omicron

Drove past my 3.5y old on a nursery trip to the local park with the rest of his class. My first thought was “he looks like he’s having fun”, my second was “where is the security guard?”. This is normal for a Jewish nursery. 3 minute walk to the local park, security park present.
