I call "failing well" a science for a reason…because it's much more than a catchy term
#FailingWell describes the systematic approach to understanding failure: how we think about, talk about, & learn from them
It takes practice & dedication to fail well, but these 5 practices can help you start!

I'm a lover not a fighter, but I know this is fighting talk:
why is rest and restoration time for healthcare staff not included in their contracted time?
Machines are treated better than humans in this dehumanising system.
Time to ask why.

Hello! I am Amy a Senior Practice Educator. I have been reflecting on my professional social media presence, which has been on X since 2011 & recently LinkedIN. The healthcare community on X doesn’t feel as alive as it used to for understandable reasons. So here I am! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
