I found a little beetle, so that Beetle was his name, And I called him Alexander and he answered just the same. I put him in a match-box, and I kept him all the day… And Nanny let my beetle out - And Beetle ran away. ~A.A.Milne
In difficulty in the water? Remember these tips and float to live. Your legs may sink and that's okay! Everybody floats differently. Practise at a safe location like a swimming pool to learn how you float best. In a coastal emergency, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
If you or someone you love has EGFR+ #lungcancer, these stats might feel all too familiar: ▪️ Half of those diagnosed are < 60 ▪️ 3/4 only find out at stage 4 ▪️ The majority are women ▪️ 68% have never smoked Because people with EGFR+ don’t fit the ‘typical’ lung cancer…
“Sometimes I liked the rain. Little by little the level of the water in the stream rose. And now I hoped it would go on raining, and that I would wake up to find it coming down hard. Perhaps I ought to put on Wellington boots and go and see what was happening.” ~C.R.Milne #rain
Some gates deserve to take centre stage! This morning was so quiet, so still, the lane deserted. All of nature seemed to be holding its breath, just waiting for the sun to rise and flicker its way through the trees, to sweep away the mist with light in a matter of seconds.…
Aunt Lucy always said summer holidays are for trying new things. So far I've tried three new kinds of ice cream.
Slowly and slowly Dawns the new day… What’s become of John boy? No one can say. Some think that John boy Is lost on the hill; Some say he won’t come back, Some say he will. ~A.A.Milne
Memories of meeting Chris Pointon many years ago when he joined us to share Dr Kate Granger's story. #hellomynameis has been an always event for me since it began. It is the start of everything for a patient and where personalised care begins. Verbal+visual identification is key
Did you know that today is international #hellomynameis day? Honoured to have Chris Pointon join us to share Dr Kate Granger’s story and remind us of the importance of patient centred care and compassionate communications in health care. #PatientExperience
2025 is proving a slow but steady year for my #NHS1000miles so totals are low but that’s ok. I have recently started swimming again which I’m enjoying. 14miles last week & YTD 509. Loving the wildlife in our garden- mummy hedgehog, hoglet & Jersey Tiger moth.
These purple flowers punctuate this special place with hardy beauty.
Piglet explained to Tigger that he mustn’t mind what Eeyore said because he was ALWAYS gloomy; and Eeyore explained to Piglet that, on the contrary, he was feeling particularly cheerful this morning; and Tigger explained to anybody that he hadn’t had any breakfast yet. ~A.A.Milne

🆕In this blog, a patient safety lead shares how they implemented a Safety-II approach to patient transfers, highlighting the disconnect between 'work as imagined' and 'work as done', and the importance of listening to frontline voices. pslhub.org/learn/patient-… #patientsafety
Take a second today to thank someone who made your day a little easier, or your heart a little lighter. A kind word travels far, and sometimes, that's all someone needs to keep going!
When the way forward feels too hard, even the smallest step is a win. ~ Motivating words to look at progress!
Final trial data confirms it! osimertinib + chemo helps people with EGFR+ #lungcancer live longer. It backs up what many suspected & comes just a week after NHS England made this combination more accessible in urgent cases. A meaningful step forward for people diagnosed today &…
