Fewer CEOs and top level managers, more doctors, more nurses, more beds, more doctor appointments, more ambulances and paramedics, greater capacity in A+E, re-examine the call classification system in emergency call centres, less data analysts and survey administrators, more clinicians.

I was going to say, reminiscent of Booth's work, but someone already got in first. I use this all of the time in my family history research, most lived in the dark blue or black areas on the Booth map. It's shocking that we still need to talk about rampant areas of deprivation in 2025- but thank you

2/2 Jane Goodall spoke out against the cruel, ineffective, and costly badger culls, that are still going on as part of Labour bTB policy. She was an environmentalist and her wisdom drew a younger audience to her. Always graceful and beautiful, she will be greatly missed. #RIPJaneGoodall

You should feel like you have had the power to speak - and that takes courage. I'm proud of you x

I'm stunned and horrified in equal measure. I'm also in awe of your bravery for speaking out. Amazing lady 👏

I've been working through my daughter's things in little chunks. I don't catch my breath when I go in her room anymore. It's little steps and if it's too much, stop. Give yourself time x

Once, I was a trainee too. I wouldn't be doing this job today were it not for the teachers who say the potential in me, who picked me up when I was having a wobble, and who helped me to get better. I'm forever grateful to them.If you don't already, please consider hosting an ITT trainee this year

When they are not teaching, PGCE trainees can be in the classroom supporting pupils. It used to be the best part of my job supporting trainee teachers and you can craft them in the ways of your school. I also found that I learned a great deal about myself.
