A super busy 3+ weeks in Australia undertaking the 2nd leg of my @churchillfship.bsky.social #ChurchillFellowship in Trauma-informed Care. Now I am aiming for #TraumaResponsive care. It's not enough to be informed! We as healthcare professionals must learn about how trauma shows up & respond to it!

such a joy to spend time with @ruthoshikanlu.bsky.social at #SydneyNursingSchool. Exciting conversations in global efforts to rid #Nursing of #colonial & #racist histories @sydneyuni.bsky.social @sydneypolicylab.bsky.social @pcpicop.bsky.social @louisesheehy.bsky.social

Read our latest paper in response the NMC independent culture review onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.... @ruthoshikanlu.bsky.social @johnunsworth10.bsky.social @crystaloldman.bsky.social @helenallen.bsky.social

QNI's @crystaloldman.bsky.social & @[email protected] @ruthoshikanlu.bsky.social & Helen T. Allan have co-authored a new commentary in Journal of Advanced Nursing. ‘Redefining Regulation: Towards Equity and Social Justice’⬇️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

There is greed. And then there is this. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

Why do high-profile child-abuse cases involving elites escape scrutiny? As debate swirls around ‘grooming gangs’, Peter Thurlow looks into systemic bias, selective justice and bandwagon-jumping politicians.

Good scholarship opp here:

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

#HappyNewYear #Happy2025! From London! 💜💜💜

I’m old enough to remember Boris Johnson telling businesses Brexit paperwork could go in a bin. Now they need a warehouse to store it in

I have been quiet on here! I've been busy being present with those who truly matter to me: my immediate family. Came back from holiday last week and have been very reflective. I'm in #Gratitude mode! On our return flight, we hit #stormDarragh 1/

So TIME Magazine is putting convicted felons and adjudicated rapists on their cover now? How disgraceful.

Fact. Dunning-Kruger effect.

Its not only medical misogny but sdd misogynnoir to that Black women are also treated differently www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One year ago: Remembering that day in Dublin, with #RCSI_Nursing with great affection. Best wishes to you all, and for the next Award Ceremony for new Fellows, 2024. @lauraserrantltd.bsky.social @ruthoshikanlu.bsky.social @calvinmoorley.bsky.social davidtevans.wordpress.com/2023/05/21/f...

For 150 years district nursing worked pretty well. Alongside primary care ot seemed a pretty proven model

Covid corruption commissioner starts fraud probe Well I hope he gets a lot of our money back after the Tories and their PPE corruption.. And I also hope some of the profiteering wrong 'uns go to jail Let's see. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is huge. The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries 👇 www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/media/e...

Trickle down economics has been nothing short of a disaster. Get our union-printed shirt now and help @rbreich.bsky.social and Inequality Media get out the truth about this economic scam: inequalitymedia.goodstockcompany.com/product/YGBc...

Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you - have never published anything - have no readers - didn't write anything this month - didn't write anything this year - can't articulate words anymore - can only float and mournfully wail - were murdered ten years ago on this very spot

UK Covid corruption commissioner starts fraud probe. First focus: £8.7bn of unusable PPE bought during the pandemic. A gimmick to manage public opinion or will anyone be prosecuted - Grenfell, Leveson, infected blood, Post Office, banking crimes ... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'Doctors, charities and MPs' are not the primary providers of end of life care. I wonder if anyone bothered to ask nurses who actually do this work or thought to address the 50% loss of district nurses

Thoroughly enjoyed my day! 💜💜💜

Today is also the start of #December, my birth month! As always, the plan is to make it a #DecemberToRemember! Let the month of fun and reflection begin! 💜💜💜

Today is #December1 #WorldAIDSDay For a significant part of my career I specialised in #HIVMidwifery, a challenging but very rewarding role, when I learned to truly be #withwoman Sadly, HIV continues to disproportionately affect Black people in the UK, most acutely Black African people, many, women.

Blocking mode activated! I'm not tolerating nonsense here! As my mum says: "I don't make threats, I make promises. Find out at your own peril!" For me, it's about quality, not quantity. #ProtectingMyPeace Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!💜💜

This is how 'workforce engagement ' is done in the NHS The workforce who deliver care are not seen as subject matter experts. It's is a missed opportunity to really improve productivity and safety

"...interprofessional health workers, institutions, and systems must shift #BereavementCare from an afterthought to a public health priority" www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Bluesky is winning because both twitter and threads have gone out of their way to make their platforms inhospitable to reputable journalists and news. @kattenbarge.bsky.social reports: www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-...

Gregg Wallace: "Complaints came from ‘middle-class women of a certain age’" God help women who are not middle-class and of that certain age. Instead of him listening & reflecting, he chose to centre himself! #EnoughIsEnough May those who remain silent find the strength to expose men like this.
