To all the angels I have had the privilege to work with, and call friends and to all those who have given up their Christmas with their loved ones to care for ours, Merry Christmas!

It's Christmas Eve! It's officially allowed to be having bucks fizz for breakfast and eat everything you fancy!
We're celebrating my gorgeous niece's 14th birthday today and heading to the panto before the big man comes!
Merry Christmas everyone x

Happy Winter Solstice! The shortest day and the longest night of the year. For anybody that needs to hear it, from tomorrow there will be more light - brighter days are coming ✨️

I heard them talking about a gravy fondue this morning on Capital Breakfast and honestly, it's all I can think about! This looks like heaven! I wonder if it's too late to add "fondue set" to my list for Santa?

#HCL at diagnosis for my new 5yr old - let's GO! So grateful we get to do this! #HCL #diabetes

Heartbreaking, yet again 💔
I was at a primary school to do training recently and witnessed their "lockdown practice" I was horrified it was a thing and can't imagine how terrifying it must be in real life. No child should go to school and not come home!
When will enough be enough?

Beautiful send off this morning for our wonderful "Green Christine" So much love, for such a beautiful lady.

You know it's been a long weekend, when locking yourself in the kitchen for 2minutes alone counts as self care 🤣 but how pretty is this sky out of my window! #redskyatnight #hidinginthekitchen #isitmondayyet #isitbedtimeyet

Also: Red One is a glorious film! Bit darker than I thought it might be, but Dwayne Johnson was *excellent*. Possibly his finest movie so far. Am a bit late to the festive spirit this year, but that’s certainly got me into the swing of it. 🎅🎄🎁

Gorgeous afternoon at #LothertonHall #ChristmasExperience. Hardest part of separation is 100% not spending everyday with these guys, but it makes our days together even more special

It’s ok to be a glow stick; sometimes we need to break before we shine.

It’ll be ok. 🧡

In her latest blog, our General Secretary and Chief Executive Professor Nicola Ranger reflects on:

- The suggested 2.8% pay increase for nursing, and why patients and staff deserve better
- Universal Health Coverage Day

Read Nicola's blog here: bit.ly/3VE8uzt

#UHCDay

Quote from Professor Ranger reads: Today is a timely reminder of the importance of our National Health Service, the access to health care it affords us, and the importance of maintaining it. Investing in nursing is a clear route to doing that.

When I left X, I left 260000ish followers who cared about the NHS.

This is bad because the NHS is in a state of emergency and EveryDoctor has just launched an important petition. If you can see this, please could you follow me and share this? 🤞💙🚨

What if vampires started the whole "oh no, not garlic" thing so their subjects would self-season for a tastier meal?
