I decided I wanted to do something with my brain that wasn't related to work and academia so I've taken up Spanish! Always a challenge after a long work day but really enjoying the stretch and challenge! #selfcare #personaldevelopment #spanish

The thought of the run is always worse than the run! Wet and dark but a nice easy run! Decompressing the day which was mostly practice education and thinking of new ways to bring it to people clinically to help ease the current pressures on release time! #nursesky #education #workforce

Please, somebody send me some motivation to run in this dark, wet and cold weather! Training for the London Marathon but it's so hard this time of year!

Let's be clear,

Wellbeing in healthcare is not fluffy stuff.

It's about workload, staffing, systems & culture.

It's about valuing our own needs,
modelling humanity & vulnerability,
Creating spaces where people feel able to be authentic & ask for help.

Wellbeing must be a priority.

I set up this account a while ago and did nothing with it.

Over the last 24 hours I have seen a lot of activity from nurses who I used to collaborate with over on the other app. This makes my heart happy 🥰

I’m arranging a ‘SkyChat’ for Sunday 24th at 7pm with @curiousbecks.bsky.social, who’s in?
