2. It’s OK to have bad days (or longer). Going through tough times is more common than you might think. You’re not alone in how you feel and there’s no shame in it.

1. You won’t feel like this forever. It might not seem like it now when you’re in the thick of it, but feelings do change and not every day will be this hard. Talking, even a little bit could help, could help lighten the weight you’re carrying.

Right, we all know Blue Monday isn’t real and our mental health doesn’t fit neatly into a calendar. But as it’s trending again this year, we’ll use this moment to share some words that could hopefully bring comfort when tough days do happen. Retweet to help us get real info out.

Building a sense of belonging is one of the most important factors in improving performance & productivity. Research in @HarvardBiz showed high belonging was linked to a 56% increase in job performance. By fostering an environment of acceptance, understanding & appreciation for the unique talents that each person brings, we can help everyone feel like they belong: forbes.com/sites/dedehenl….

It’s Neurodiversity Celebration Week. #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek #Neurodiversity #Neurodiverse

It’s #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth. In this video, we explain how endometriosis is diagnosed, what you can expect at your first GP appointment, and what happens if you are referred to a gynaecologist for further help. youtube.com/watch?v=G_HGZD…

These leadership skills are difficult to master — and improving them may require going against your nature. s.hbr.org/3RM3Huw

Happy #InternationalWomensDay supporting each other to thrive, however you identify, is far more satisfying than competing 🤝

1/2: Happy International Women’s Day to all the brilliant women working in the NHS! Women make up 76% of #OurNHSPeople. Support for women should not be limited to only one day. We must continue to work towards delivering the best experience for women across the NHS. #IWD2024

@samnevi @MSEHospitals Congratulations Sam 🩷

Humbled and thrilled to have been nominated for the Spotlight award in the Shine Awards @MSEHospitals for valuing and developing staff 😊#MSEShineAwards #MSETeam #MSEDigital 💫

@Juliawr64346191 I loved this book! Also The Power by Naomi Alderman, and now reading Vox by Christina Dalcher

A fantastic book to read and TV show to watch on #IWD2024 is #LessonsinChemistry. The story is about a female chemist in the 1960s who struggles to be respected in her career. She ends up hosting a TV show that empowers women #InspireInclusion youtu.be/-1PuK8mxASE?si…

Flattered to have been nominated for a Shine award this #InternationalWomensDay for leadership. It is literally my specialism, so feels special to be recognised for practising what I preach. We lift as we rise and we shine together 💫
