Of all the reasons to leave the NHS, this might be the last straw. Many a time, my ‘lunch’ has been a mini Bounty hastily grabbed from a tub of Celebrations and eaten standing up at the desk. So farewell then, nugget of coconutty goodness.

I was thrilled to contribute my thoughts on birth and bleeding to Rachel Kauder Nalebuff’s Our Red Book, out tomorrow in the UK from Virago Press. The stories in this book demand to be told.

Tried to chase up what happened to a referral made for a patient in June 2021 to gynaecology - assumed there’d been an admin error somewhere.

No - Wait time…73 weeks 🤯

This is the healthcare our government are willing to provide us with and it is utterly unacceptable.

<looks around at HCW burnout, blown waiting lists, 'quiet quitting', warnings about decreased staff productivity>

I think there are people who think we're on the upslope and need more pep talks to improve performance- when we're actually all *just* holding on the downslope.😵‍💫

Props to Matt Hancock for his willingness to get showered in spiders and eat kangaroo testes but working on the NHS frontline during a horribly mismanaged pandemic is much scarier than any bush tucker trial.

Ok, the dark mornings have got me already. Has anyone got one of those sunrise alarm clocks and can you please recommend a make/model?

Halloween on South Uist, 1932 looked pretty terrifying. Children made homemade costumes from sheepskins, haystack wigs, scraped-out skulls and sheep ears! One boy spent an entire day peeling the skin from a sheep skull to make his mask!

🧵For the last day of Black History Month, we are celebrating the inspirational Black leaders in the maternity sector who are driving change to ensure all women, irrespective of background, receive safe and respectful maternity care that is free from harm and prejudice.

1 in 10 of all nurses left last year. That's 10% of the whole nursing population gone. They were barely replaced by new recruits.

Recruitment ain't the problem.

In case anyone was wondering, I just chatted to a medic friend of mine who has confirmed after yesterday’s shift that it has finally happened: the NHS has well and truly collapsed.

What next?

Any thoughts on why gynaecology remains at the bottom of the list?? Slowest to recover and at 66% compared to pre-pandemic levels… time to re-prioritise gynaecology/ Women’s health! crisis

I was thrilled to be interviewed for The Equal Parent and have no doubt that this will be a vitally challenging look at today’s parenting landscape. Congratulations Paul Morgan-Bentley!
