Thank you guys

This from an American who has lived in GB for 15 yrs.....https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdgS47FH/

Actually feeling quite scared about all this . Similar age & kids age as you Jemma. What does their future hold? How can we stop this ? How can Elon be allowed to speak like that in our country with no-recourse .

This was a shocking stance by Gork. Full credit to @vicderbyshire.bluesky.social You Handled the interview so well but must have been horrid to be spoken like that. I felt v uncomfortable.

This is so v v v v important. Thank you @hopevirgo.bsky.social and you all . Glad that I'm recovered but with lasting side effects to my body (spending too many YEARS in bad way under nourished ).

@lewisgoodall.com allowed to go on and on and dominated the interview? I don't think she should get so much air time on LBC when she like this. NO caller would be permitted such behaviour.

5/ long time since kids but this 20+ years ago. So how much has changed ? Also our hospital saying cancelling ops due to pressures - but that's not new either. I have had 2 fairly recent experience as PT in A&E: 14 hours. Was admitted. My daughter last year 24h waiting for bed .

4/ as in the rush left on the other ward . I was glad it was a day off the next day. I heard it was manic & the local TV cameras came in. My point this was approx 1998- 2000 (can't remember. I know from being a patient that things much worse can't get much more desperate erh? (not nursed

3/ the management team in suits , helped move patients from other wards to us. And I was on phone trying get staff in & there was a phone call in local news to recruit staff ! It was a late shift (1-10pm) & so surreal! We had patients who meant to be near to discharge but most didn't have their meds

2/ another ward for few weeks Nov/Dec/January . I'll never forget on the first day post Xmas bank holidays when there was a major influx of patients & the decision made by management to reopen our ward , despite no staffing ,& they'd & then I told to reopen the ward & we , including

Live in Winchester. Our hospital & our other main hospital in trust - Basingstoke - both on the critical incident list today. Trying to work out how different to 20yrs ago when I a nurse working staff. Nurse on surgical ward : our ward had been closed (? Staffing issues ) so we staff moved to 1/

5/by end of 2023. But specialist staff left local hosp so had to be transferred to different one for half of treatment; communication between hospitals non existent &spent a yr doing it for them (draining esp when suffering chronic health problems). Finally had surgery this October. County=Hampshire

4/ get NHS approved funding for it 2018(as not usual get nhs for adults now for orthodontic/maxfacial,but mine essential. ONE YEAR! By the time more mths to get appointment & start pre-op orthodontics, covid came-eventually started treatment Jan 2022, ready for surgery June 2023 & est. I would have

3/ estimated I will get appointment in October (that's 15mth) but that it is likely to be longer!. Last year about 7mth for gynae for bad pelvic pains ongoing - that brought forward. Referred for specialist physio in July too-no news on that. Longest wait was YEARS for essential jaw surgery-1 yr to

2/ though all long! I am an ex nurse, have compassion for the over worked staff but when one is caught with chronic health conditions its tough being constantly on the waiting game & your life being on hold in the mean time -often for years.So just chased up pain clinic referral of last July...est

it's gorgeous!

agree.....I live in the south, but have a friend in Sheffield so we were going to see him there, I was ready at the opening time ! The stress getting helping getting my daughter set TS tickets (as 2nd laptop!), being chucked out as bots so often etc was utterly draining 😂

Come from when , for example, my daughter's review by psychiatrist has been cancelled 3 times in row as reliant on locum psychiatrists who come and go. Don't get me wrong , I am largely in support. Just not hearing much /any about the funding.

Great article. I'm concerned about how government going to find the health professionals to be trained up to do the assessments etc, 2 for each case , when medical staffing so low currently? And if as in the Newsagent interview , a psychiatrist needs to do an assessment - well where they going to
