Please don’t suffer in silence. Really - a problem shared, is a problem halved.
Let us be kind to one and other, but let us also be kind to ourselves. If you are feeling down and need someone kind and friendly to speak to please contact @NHSPracHealth 0300 0303 300. We are here to support you. #RandomActsOfKindnessDay

If anyone @NBT is wondering whether or not to come along to our parkrun takeover this Saturday in Ashton Court ... just dig out your 👟👟 and come and join the fun! 👍 @NBTNursing @NBTSustHealth @NBT_JDW @nbt_ed @NBTAnaesthesia @RadiologyNBT @NBT_ICU @NBTWellbeing @young_andrea
North Bristol NHS Trust is the largest hospital trust in the South West. They might also be – for this weekend at least - the largest provider of parkrun volunteers in the South West! And we can't wait!😃 @Ashton_Court_ @parkrunUK @NorthBristolNHS #loveparkrun

How perfectly articulated Matt Haig... I’d also strongly recommend reading his astounding book: “Reasons to stay alive”.

Painful to read those figures. Even more painful to consider the tragedy behind every single one. Nurses too. We need to look out for each other, and we need to make the NHS a safer, nicer, better supported place to work.
Figures given to BBC Inside Out show one doctor every 3 weeks takes their own life. The story of the brother of leading heart consultant Jagdip Sidhu and on the front line @ESNEFT 7.30pm BBC1 (East) @amateuradam @DrZeshanQureshi @thedigitalgp @DrBellaSmith @jim_crawfurd
