@nancybell003 @MallinsonT @GaslingSarah At some point, leaders need to stand up & say "no" to the unreasonable demands from above, & protect & advocate for those they are responsible for.

@MallinsonT @nancybell003 @GaslingSarah Possibly. But given Ms Bell is in a leadership position, I'm genuinely keen to hear her perspective on what the barriers (real and/or perceived) might be. It's a perennial issue, & if we collectively establish why, then we can do something about it together.

@nancybell003 @GaslingSarah Agree about responsible use. However, "No trust can have a locker for everyone." With respect, why not? (Keen to explore the barriers to this)

Why couldn't the textbooks/papers be clear that they typically present an axial section of the embryo, but a CORONAL section of the limb bud?! Because that's not at all confusing πŸ™„ Combine that with ancient Greek homework & my brain is ready for a rest! 🫠 Σόνικ Γ³ ἐχῖνος πŸ˜†

@i_iratus Be very wary of the term "free at the point of service" [or access/ delivery/entry]. Technically UK university education is "free at point of entry". Reality is loans that are recouped from earnings as extra "graduate" tax. It wouldn't be a big leap for similar in healthcare.

I'm sick of leaving work feeling that despite the team giving 120%, we're still letting people down. Sick of stressing about & apologising for things that I have no control over. I'd love to come to work & just do the job with the right resources/time/people to do it. πŸ’™πŸ’”

How many injuries, infections & hospitalisations will be incurred as a result of poverty this week? Warm hubs are a kind enterprise with altruistic motives, no criticism implied. But we need to address the root causes of these issues in order to properly keep people safe. 2/2

@LucyGoBag @DrSdeG Because the 2020 dead could be attributed to an external threat/force majeure (pandemic), & could thus be acknowledged. The 2025 dead are the result of internal political failure (funding/structure/policy), which cannot be admitted, therefore they are brushed under the carpet.
