@shattenstone Love this quote: “What’s it saying to all those who’ve passed away in their multitudes if we lead lives where we’re just pathologically pissed off at the world? What does it say to those who have left the world to be in a perpetual state of misery and fury and depression ...?”

God, I love Nick Cave. Interviewing him was both heartbreaking and life enhancing. I'm not sure how he manages to pull both off theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

Hi @DrRobCrouch I'm commissioning articles for Emergency Nurse. Would you and/or your co-presenters at #ENTCCONF be interest in writing something based on your presentations? Thanks daniel@wave.eclipse.co.uk

@drphilhammond @mjauk @SteveBarclay Yes.

Dear @SteveBarclay, instead of taking legal action against nurses, please just sit down and negotiate with them. It’ll be much better for everyone’s health. Ditto junior doctors. The more you antagonise them now, the harder the negotiations will be. Threats & Bullying don’t work.

It’s publication day which means I’ve only just managed to get out of my pyjamas because I couldn’t tear myself away from socials long enough and I’ve completely forgotten to eat food. instagram.com/reel/Cpwyolzoc…

This is the announcement we never wanted to make, & we do so with a very heavy heart: Wilko Johnson has died. He passed away at home on Monday 21st November. Thank you for respecting the family's privacy at this very sad time. RIP Wilko Johnson. (Image: Leif Laaksonen)

@EmmaPunc Emma, I wonder whether you saw my tweet to you asking whether I could talk to you about students failing placements. I'm writing an article for Nursing Standard. Can you email daniel@wave.eclipse.co.uk if interested? Thanks.

Majorly overwhelmed lately. I’ve been unwell, my daughter is unwell, I haven’t slept in 3 nights. I’ve got 3 days off placement now, but a deadline on Friday, as well as catching up on house duties and being a mum. The third year exhaustion is real. Bring on Christmas #punc20

@EmmaPunc I'm writing a feature for Nursing Standard re students and assignments - can we speak? daniel@wave.eclipse.co.uk Thanks.

This is insane. AND announced on a bank holiday weekend, parliament in recent, no scrutiny. Whatever happened to compassion? theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/a…

@RCNi_Richard @StephJonesBerry I sometimes offer a balanced approach too, Richard. Not always.

@juliaboggio Blimey. You're a word demon...

Just passed the 60,000 word mark on book 2 and still plenty of plot to come. And there I was worried that I wouldn’t have enough to fill a whole book.

A media interview later today about "Ghosts & Nurses". Fascinating subject and takes me back to a previous podcast by @danny_robins in which I contributed my usual skeptical arguments... Haunted Podcast: The Night Shift Part 1 & 2 Have a listen!: tun.in/tiit0C

@kingsnurserich @NurseStandard Hi Richard. Want to email me some details? daniel@wave.eclipse.co.uk

@NurseStandard @DanJQAllen I have a good one from working in a hospital that's now been knocked down.

Ever worked in a haunted hospital? Care to share any ghost stories from your workplace? Or convinced you’ve heard things go bump in the night only to find it was noisy pipework? Nursing Standard wants to hear your stories for an upcoming feature. Reply below or DM @DanJQAllen

Are you a nurse who is living with chronic pain? Nurses in persistent pain can thrive if they have support – but lack of understanding in their workplace can make them feel like a burden. Nursing Standard looks at coping strategies. rcni.com/nursing-standa…
