A tricky volunteer shift today but overwhelmingly made better by taking a long stay patient to the garden.
We shared our love of big band music, I told him about my saxophone, and we listened to the BBC big band on my Spotify.
It was quite perfect 🥰
Happy Friday all....

Her biggest lesson for the critical care community?
“Look beyond the patient”
Think about their support networks, their environment…
The things that make their life worth living.

Satisfaction with the #NHS is at a record low. 📉
Our analysis with @thekingsfund.bsky.social shows people want the NHS to do what it says on the tin: health care free at the point of use, available to all and without having to wait unacceptably long to get it.

Today, I took a patient outside for the first time in their stay. That is always a massive privilege for me.
We talked through some struggles & they felt relieved.
Sometimes,all that's needed is a conversation with the right person
