Brilliant celebration day at @MKCollege 🎉 It’s not the ‘end of the year’ for many of our teams, but it was a great opportunity to celebrate how we live our our values of Respect, Innovate, Excellence, Integrity, Inspire & Belong ♥️ Well done to all the award winners 🥳

@AnneAllen007 @misheleneous Evening! Lovely to hear from you. How are those gorgeous boys? 😻😻 Oops! And how are you all?

@MirandaCColes 😞 - sorry to hear about your dad. Well done for spotting the smile though! x

In the spirit or trying to be glass half-full, I would like to share this smiley face on the tap in Dad’s cubicle. We’re in A&E majors, waiting on CT results and transfer to a ward. Arrived by car last night as ambulance wait >2 hours and CT scan at 9:30 this morning. Tiring!

@MKCollege What an achievement 👏

More discussion about the new workplace menopause legislation in today's issue of the @dailytelegraph...

I’m sure by now you will have read the headlines about Avanti giving its menopausal staff a ‘menopause gift bag’ that included a fan for hot sweats, a jelly baby sweet “in case you feel like biting someone’s head off”, a tissue “if you’re feeling a bit emotional” and a paperclip “to help you keep it all together”. Menopause symptoms can be debilitating for some women and it’s not something to trivialise in this way, especially when we know 1 in ten women end up leaving their job due to their menopause symptoms. If the bag is a delaying tactic, I’m horrified. But if it’s a way of people learning more and hopefully being able to signpost them to the right treatments, then I think that’s good. Only a minority of menopausal women are receiving HRT which is first line evidence based treatment for the majority of menopausal women. It is therefore so important that we’re not just allowing people flexible time or reducing their hours, or women are simply talking about their symptoms – we’ve got to be more proactive into enabling women to understand what treatments are available, in the same way that we would if they had any other condition that was affecting them in the workplace.
