This was me 11 months ago; standing for less than a minute with the help of a physio & a nurse.
Through weakness, pain & nausea, I dreamt that I could #SwimBikeRun again
Today I made it back to triathlon ๐โโ๏ธ ๐ด ๐โโ๏ธ

When should we be doing #AdvancedCarePlanning?
The answer is in the nameโฆ
It shouldnโt be done in an emergency.
All members of staff asked thought #ReSPECT was great but struggled to find a โgood timeโ.
*we wonโt rob people of help, we can write down their wishes*

#palliativecare challenges in research and practice.
Is the ICU terminology confusing or overwhelming for patients and families?

Thinking outside the box #palliativecare
It starts with the first conversation.

An important reminder - look beyond the patient and support the people around the patient, itโs this network which is key in helping the patient recover both psychologically and physically once discharged. #SOA25 #recoverybeyondsurvival @NCEPOD

Who should plug the deficit, benefit claimants or billionaires?
While @RachelReevesMP is planning cuts to the long term sick & disabled #PIP
MPs have got a 2.8% pay rise
How can this be right?
Clamp down on the cheats #TaxTheRich

8 years ago I woke up in the worst pain Iโd ever been in after my stoma surgery, terrified what a future with a stoma would meanโฆ
Turns out I neednโt have worried ๐๐
Happy 8th Stomaversary to my stoma that allows me to keep doing crazy things ๐ถ๏ธ

Sex & Intimacy After Surgery.
#February brings conversations about #love & #intimacy, for many whoโve had colorectal or pelvic floor surgery, sex isnโt always straightforward. Our published research explored the realities, physical, emotional & psychological of sex after surgery.
