Just taught a session on reflective practice in nursing. We explored how reflection can:
Strengthen clinical judgment
Build resilience + compassion
I’d love to hear from you:
What strategies or tools help you reflect effectively in practice or teaching?

Freshers’ Week is just around the corner, and I’ll be chatting with our new nursing students about reflective practice. 🩺✨

For those on #nursesky – what tips, insights, or advice would you pass on to help them get the most out of it?

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Finally, a line has been drawn under the worst period in the history of our football club.

After eight years of shite, that was for us.

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Very interesting to listen to some detailed economic analysis from Vicky Price on @quietriotpod.bsky.social today.

It would be good to complement this - particularly to look at the underlying causes of inflation - from someone outside mainstream liberal economics like @macrodosepod.bsky.social

5 year anniversary of working in #academia today. When I left practice it felt like an ending, but It’s changed my world, my perspectives and my professional identity! It’s the differences you make to others that really makes it so rewarding, just like practice! #nurse #academic

BS Johnson liked to claim this distinction. In his play You're Human Like the Rest of Them (2 Feb 1969, BBC 2), the main character is listening to Radio 4 when The Archers comes on. It's announced as 'an everyday story of country - ' but the character turns the radio off after the first syllable.
Prompts a question. Kenneth Tynan was famously the first person to say 'fuck' on British television, in 1965. But who was the first to say 'cunt'? Bluesky?
