I am honoured to be part of this important publication, highlighting the vital role and challenges of AHP support workers. Their voices matter.@KatieFrancisRab @HealthPhysio @chris_richards2 @gvhawtin @LorraineAHP @ClaireFordham5

Wouldn't normally do this.... but wanted to share this example of waste that is so frustratingly familiar to #NHS patients. 🤦🏼♂️
Why book #flu vaccine appointments with a practice nurse if you don't have any vaccines......?🤷🏻♂️
And pharmacist stated there's a nationwide shortage.

Fascinating piece by @WhichUK
We know air pollution is linked to chronic inflammation and a host of serious health conditions.
"The cruise ships at Southampton emitted nearly 9X more pollutants than all of the city’s 93,000 cars while in port"

A good illustration of why staff and patients often regard new #tech with suspicion and cynicism in the #NHS.
A new system is implemented, and instead of an increase in productivity....... the promise is a few weeks of delays and patience being tested. 🫣
