1st week back at work after being off for 4 months for #breastcancer treatment. Grateful for my body, grateful for my incredible team @RMPartnersNHS and most of all, eternally thankful to the #NHS and @GSTTnhs for rebuilding me piece by piece 🙏🏻

Day 2 has mainly been spent with IT (of course, it’s the NHS!) but really looking forward to connecting with all my wonderful colleagues and peers again. 💖

This breaks my heart to read. We’re lucky that @lb_southwark provides healthy school meals to all primary school children, like Scotland and N Ireland, wish all councils in England chose to do the same while this govt sorts themselves out! #CostOfLivingCrises

London schoolchildren 'eat sandwiches with no filling' and 'steal snacks from other kids' because they're so hungry [THREAD] 🧵 #CostOfLivingCrisis

One of the most heartbreaking sentences ever written: “The child was pretending to eat out of an empty lunchbox because they did not qualify for free school meals and did not want their friends to know there was no food at home.” amp.theguardian.com/business…
Three bikes stolen from the last three nights directly from our building in #SE1 #Southwark @HousingHexagon what are you doing about this? The police are actively contacting you - please respond with immediately. @lb_southwark @se1 @Southwark_News any tips? It will happen again.

Really shameful that we are getting zero responses from @HousingHexagon and our safety is being comprised every day. Would love to know what the new CEO thinks @CarterSheron

Funny how @Hexagon_Housing don’t even know what their Twitter account it 🤦🏻‍♀️ Or maybe it’s their effort to get all the bad tweets to a different account
Bike thieves are scum. Bike thieves that steal bikes with baby seats on them deserve to rot in hell 😡

Stimulating discussion on the future of cancer care today at #OF22 led by @BreastDocUK. Exciting to see cancer innovations being embedded into care but a depleting workforce needs to be urgently addressed in the #NHS

Horrible swastika graffiti with an arrow pointing on the #Ukraine️ flag on #Southwark Park Rd, by St James Road in #Bermondsey Where does one report this disgusting & harmful tag? @WISE16 @se1 @coyleneil

And Guy Braithwaite @Lendleaseuk where the #ManVan has been parked the last 3 weeks, offering health checks to their 200 staff. Working with employers like LendLease who strive to look after the health and well-being of their staff is key to this

And lastly, the ever so passionate @bishopman1 who speaks about #ManVan from his heart (and in one take!) to encourage his fellow men to get checked. He found out through our work that Black men are at higher risk of #prostatecancer and #earlydiagnosis is key.
