Day 1 @bestpracticeshow.bsky.social ✅

Highlights for me:
- packed out session by @drkevinfernando.bsky.social on abnormal LFTS. Who knew that clinical diploma module on hepatic med would be handy?
- Meeting some @nhsconfed.org Alumni
- Catching with ex PCCLEs & my BFF @pharmrj.pharmsky.app

Youngest one, at 2.5km “I don’t want to do this anymore” 😂
Sub 2hrs for a 10k walk was an amazing achievement!
The heavens opened with at the last 10mins! But it was worth it!!! Plus £500 for Macmillan Cancer Support
I’ve promised NOT to sign up to any future family charity challenges!

We did it! Macmillan Walk To a Support 10k Bham.
The winklets did good; finished by 2hrs! The rain just came in at the last 800m.
So proud of them.
This one’s for Nanny Pat, close friends & my lovely patients over the past 20 years

If you take one thing from World Suicide Prevention Day today it should be this: if you think someone isn’t OK, ask them about it. You can interrupt someone’s suicidal thoughts. You could even save their life.

Let’s prevent suicide today. Because tomorrow’s too late.

Haven’t been on here for a while. This is the type of post that’s much needed and missing from my feeds 🥰

Definitely marked for actual holiday 🏝️
I like skinny books to keep something in my bag at all times! x

Helen Hương Kilminster @hpillminster.pharmsky.app · Jul 23

There is just someone romantic and adorable about real books and stepping into book shops or browsing through shelves and shelves of second hand books. Still holding on these moments with my two 🥹
