Most importantly know your inhalers; remember to use a spacer and be aware you can take up to 10 puffs

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning

Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Nutritious food has been the mainstay of getting well for centuries. Have a look at this book, simple to make recipes, cost effective, and delicious food! Chat to your facilities teams, request a copy, see what children think, they really are fab

I wrote for the Guardian’s Saturday magazine about my son Max, who changed how I see the world. Took ages. More jokes after the first bit.

Thanks Merope Mills for being the most patient and generous editor.

The boy who came back: the near-death, and changed life, of my son Max

It was, we were told, a case of sudden infant death syndrome interrupted. What followed would transform my understanding of parenting, disability and the breadth of what makes a meaningful life

There are moments when all you can do is pause and take it in. I had one of those moments this week whilst listening to @dameanionwu.bsky.social share her remarkable life story. If she doesn’t inspire you to use your #cypnurse voice, nothing will! Thank you @kathevans2.bsky.social for taking the pic
