#BillGranger These are our most tattered, food stained and well loved set of his cookery books. Sending deepest sympathies to his family that featured in his books and made it feel like he was sharing his love of his family and food with us.

The new waiting area for paediatric theatres is open, along with lovely new signs- making the area much more family friendly. @NuhTheatres @nottmchildrens @ClinSupportNUH @NUH_QPST (cute photos taken with permission)

For many people, what matters the most during a hospital stay is SLEEP In the middle of the night: No loud bin lids No loud speaker phones on No shouting across corridor No screeching wheels No talking really loud No clanging of cups No slamming doors Sleep is part of recovery

Borrowed the #RubbishGame from @PCCUatNCH @SharedGovNUH to bring a little waste stream knowledge to #paedstheatres @NuhTheatres #weargreen_thinkgreen

This is exasperating! Here is a 10ml syringe in appropriately sized packaging, below it is another 10ml syringe in a vast amount of plastic 🤯 How to we address this? #wastemanagement #surgery #NUHTheatres #NUH_QI

I’ve been working @NuhTheatres for a few months now. I have always appreciated the domestic staff around the hospital. But the domestics here are outstanding and hard working. Folded papers every day, friendly and helpful. #teamwork @TeamNUH 👏👏

So impressed with #NHS. Same day appointment with physio for my 15y.o son. Very thorough assessment, including asking what was going on with his leg hair…He’d lost a bet and had two wax strips applied!!😂
We had a brilliant time @dwtimefracture in London. Immersive, fun and the sets were incredible. A family of very happy #DoctorWho fans! Wonder if you can guess our daughter’s favourite Doctor…#BowTies #Geronimo

In a new address overnight, Zelensky spoke directly to Russian soldiers, in Russian: “You will not take anything from Ukraine. You will take lives... But your lives will also be taken. But why should you die? What for? I know that you want to survive.”

Goodbye PCCU, 13 years (give or take two daughters)! I never thought that I’d be a #PICUNurse, then I couldn’t imagine being anything else. 💞 But change is good, and I’m looking forward to my next learning curve ⁦@NUHSurgery⁩ ⁦@nottmchildrens⁩ ⁦@TeamNUH⁩

🚨The basics of wellbeing in work should not be seen as a “one-off” or luxury to have 🚨It should not be planned sessions or done in isolation 🚨It should not feel like we are lucky to have it Wellbeing should run consistently throughout everything Make it normal

My wife Alice, my two kids and I have recovered from #COVID19. I’m immensely grateful for the kind wishes while we were ill. Now that we’ve joined millions who have gotten #COVID19, a few reflections on our recent experience:
