Concur @SamuelHoldenNHS - v nice to come home to. The ‘little things’ are often received as ‘big things’. - Thanks @SimonTapley Right across @NHSDevonCCG peoples flexibility around hours, area of focus, work setting etc was as swift and far-reaching as it was important.

Found this to be a decent read. Was reading through ‘what is digital’ section reflecting I’m guilty of thinking of digital as specific ‘things’ rather than use of digital era thinking...then stumbled across a v small pic of me. ☺️ nhsproviders.org/a-new-era-o…

Grateful for anyone to call me out should I ever be something of a smellfungus.

For the record - my experience was and is that care home workers and providers stepped up to do all they could to battle #covid19

Very very fortunate to have a team that understand I don’t like starting a period of leave with things playing on my mind. They work so hard to help close off frustrations, to take ownership of issues, and where they can’t, to talk things down in terms of significance. #team

Really sorry for the staff of @TMLewin to hear of their demise. I guess at least home working is going to help me stretch the life of my collection of John Francombe slim fits.

I genuinely believe if 45 minute meetings became the new default it would 100% improve people's mental health in lockdown #takeTimeForaPeeAndCoffee RT this, make it happen, back to back is just unkind and hurting people
