Wedding of our family in London

@jamesmarthy01 Bless your heart ❤️ James Xx

Driving along the M5 today, my wife& I reflected on our journey to the UK. She arrived alone on a cold November day — like many int’ly trained nurses/IENs starting again in a new country. Skills aren’t the hardest part. Belonging is. I wrote about it ⬇️ wednesdayswithjames.com/post/from-arri…

We had our first African Ethnic Global Majority conference yesterday , Theme Unbutun. See photos

@taadelodun Congratulations to her! Very sensible young lady. It will all be joy and worth it St the end. X👏👏👏

My sister made the biggest "purchase" of her life. And I didn’t even know. She just finished her Master’s in Cybersecurity (Distinction) and has been in that brutal cycle: applications, interviews, rejections, hope, repeat. So I asked when is her visa expiring Her answer stunned me, "It has expired" "But I have already handled my post-study application before expiry" She paid: 2 year Graduate visa application fee: £880 Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS)£1,035/year × 2 = £2,070 Total cost = £2,950 Then she said something that hit me hard. She was not hiding it, Because the family contributed £14,000+ for her Master’s tuition, she didn’t want to come back again with another problem to solve. So she leaned on the money habits I have been teaching everyone online, budgeting, credit discipline, savings and quietly took responsibility for the next step. When immigration discussions happen online, most people dont talk about these fees. Immigration is not just paperwork. It is pressure. It is silent but heavy financial weight. It is carrying your future alone while smiling in public. To every international student navigating this quietly, I see you. May your courage compound. May your sacrifice return multiplied. May your dreams justify every receipt.

It’s much better for a patient’s physical and mental wellbeing to leave hospital as soon as they are medically fit for discharge. This winter, you can support your loved ones to get home as soon as they're ready by doing a few simple things.

The emergency department at North Devon District Hospital is incredibly busy today and patients are waiting much longer than normal. You can help us provide care to those who need it most by choosing the right healthcare service for your needs.

@bottomdoc @MartinKnight_ This used to be the case in the early 90’s in Sheffield . It was called the nigh cap!!

@MartinKnight_ Worked in a hospital where on a Saturday evening the drinks trolley went around - had to be prescribed. Sherry and Mackeson’s stout were the order of the day!

My gran used to swear this was health giving & said they gave it to her in hospital. Not sure that’s true.
