Excited to share a blog that I wrote has been published by
@InfluencePRMag
. In this piece I explore the pivotal role of digital accessibility in enhancing healthcare outcomes in the NHS. Accessible comms are crucial, not just for patients but for staff too.

It’s
#MentalHealth
week. I’ve lived with anxiety since I was a teen and earlier this year I found the courage to ask my GP for some medication - which has made such a big difference - I wish I’d asked sooner. Please don’t be afraid to ask for help or be ashamed to take meds. 💚
Why is it important to use your pronouns? It makes it clear how you would like to be referred to, while also signalling to others that you will respect their gender identity and choice of pronouns - a simple solution to accidental misgendering.

IKR! All it’s doing is inciting further hatred towards already marginalised communities. If a copper waving a flag or dancing at a carnival offends people then they need to have a word with themselves.
Remember that struggling with your
#MentalHealth
doesn’t make you weak or any less of a person. Living life, showing up and being present with anxiety and depression takes so much strength. So please remember that’s it’s ok not to be ok.

What a fab documentary Anne:The Princess Royal At 70 was. A fantastic portrait of a member of the royal family who doesn’t command the headlines but just gets on with the job.

Can we leave the
#BBCPresenter
story now please and move on to ACTUAL news? There has been no criminality. It’s a non story and has always been a non story. Let’s also leave Huw Edwards alone and allow him to get the mental health support he is seeking.

My amazing Nan lost her fight against cancer this morning. I’m absolutely heartbroken but trying to remember all of the wonderful memories I have. There are no words to describe how much I am going to miss her. ❤️
Finished the entire
#FellowTravellers
series and it’s a genuine masterpiece. Jonathan Bailey and Matt Bomer deliver stellar performances. The series end was powerful, emotion and poignant. ❤️
If you have not watched it, watch it.
Excited and proud to be launching the

#LGBT
people when accessing healthcare can make significant differences to LGBT peoples’ experiences, and, in turn on their physical and mental health 🌈
Let’s be honest, Paul and Harry did the right thing. Ash is an awful Traitor. Although if she stays - think of the drama!!
As for Brian, he’s just a hot mess.
I love this show.

In Liverpool, I set out my stall to be Deputy Leader of the Labour Party.
Growing up with a single mum who worked 3 jobs, during the dark days of Thatcher, was tough. If I can go from poverty to Parliament - anyone can.
Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not.
Done the first four episodes of
#FellowTravelers
and I’m really enjoying it. Although it’s also quite heartbreaking. Matt Bomer and Jonny Bailey are phenomenal.
Today is
#NationalTeaDay
- probably the best and most British day of the year. I mean as I once read; you can’t buy happiness but you can buy tea and that’s kind of the same thing. 🫖
So after 11.5 years in my little flat I’ve decided to upgrade to give myself (and the plants ofc) a little more space. Will be moving in just over a month and I’ve so much to do.
Loved Paul O’Grady’s Elephant adventure - he was such a wonderful human. I like Paul love elephants - they are such majestic creatures, embodying grace and wisdom. We need to do all we can to protect them. 🐘💚

This image is so heartbreaking and speaks to so many who’ve had to sit alone at a funeral of a loved one in this past year.
Also, how incredible are our armed forces? Such precision and so dignified.

Wow!!! I am absolutely shocked and delighted to have been shortlisted as a finalist for Best Communications and Digital Officer. What an honour.

Give Diane Parish all the awards. Her portrayal of Denise's psychosis has been incredible. Mental health problems can affect anyone at any time of life and in different way.
#EastEnders
We’ve all made it through January thanks to
#TheTraitorsUK
. Phenomenal TV and Claudia is an ICON!
I feel for Mollie so much but Harry is a well deserved winner. He played a blinder of a game and did exactly what he needed to do. It’s the name of the game.
Well I did it - I’ve graduated from
#Couchto5K
. When I started this, I honestly didn’t think I would make it past the first couple of weeks, so to complete the course and see myself running for this length of time without stopping is a huge achievement! 🙌🏼

What a fantastic two days in Leeds for the

Congrats to our Chair

@JamesSharp87
for picking up the Social Media Champion award.
7 months on Sertraline and it’s helped me find a steadier emotional footing, making each day more manageable. It's not a magic fix, but it's a tool that's helped me navigate my mental health journey. Always remember, it's okay to seek help. 🧠

Out of all the incredible show gardens at
@The_RHS
Hampton Court, I think the
@CR_UK
garden designed by
@HerveyBrookes
was my fave. As well as being simply beautiful it was hugely emotive. Anyone’s who life has been touched by cancer will absolute get the message behind it. 💙
Just completed week 5 run 2 of
#Couchto5K
. Running 2x rounds of 8 mins with a five min walk in-between - well that’s a first for me. Feels good but was tough. Next run is 20 mins no walking. 😱
I'm absolutely thrilled and pleasantly surprised to share that I've been chosen as a finalist for the Unsung Hero award at the
@CommsHero
awards. It's an incredible honor! 🌟🙌 Thank you

I disagree! Sex education is crucial because it empowers individuals with accurate information about their bodies, relationships, and sexual health, all tailored to be age-appropriate. It promotes healthy attitudes towards consent, communication, and reproductive choices,
I do not want primary school children full stop to have sex education. Nor do I want children to be taught about changing gender. We need to protect their innocence and childhood.
I am showing racism the red card by taking part in
#WRD20
along with colleagues across
