Yesterday was spent mostly reflecting on how our stories can lead movements for change. Today I was working with amazing staff from @RoyalFreeNHS NMUH site where we talked about data teaches but it’s the stories that connect us to our share purpose!

Such an amazing day! Started meeting with my Horizons family & my social movement hero Marshall Ganz. Then a fabulous meeting with my ECIST family. Ended up with attending the #IND25 @ Westminster Abbey! I’m full of hope for future of UK nursing together we can make a difference!

So important that racism like this is talked about! We have to accept it’s uncomfortable, but we use this feeling to lead the change! @HelenBevan @marinasoltan_ bmj.com/content/389/bm…

I’ve been reflecting a lot on these questions, they feel more important than ever currently.

What is your responsibility to ensure that none of your team feels alone even if you think they are a team player?

@MrsBosanquet Is your lovely star from Smiths? Love it 😊 💖

@EastMidRailway just saying trains that leave later let people on their trains 😳 Sorry to my friends, I don’t mean to be so grumpy 🫶🏼 I’m just cold and want to get on the train home.

@EastMidRailway survival tips please for the worst East Midland trains in the country Norwich to Liverpool? Why aren’t we allowed on the train until minutes/seconds before the train leaves, when is there going to be power reliably on this train, when are you going to get WiFi?

Completely agree with Alice, the stress of healthcare when you’re a mum trying to get the best for your child. I will always remember my son after his OPA ‘That’s a day in my life I will never get back again.’ Different has got to be better! #digitalNursing

There's a growing understanding of the importance of empathy (the ability to understand, share & respond to emotions/perspectives of others) for leaders. For every competency that helps a leader become more empathetic you can draw a line that connects it with a better way of delivering results. @hacking_hr has produced a leader's "playbook" for empathy. It sets out: - 9 strategies to build trust and a people-centric culture through empathy - 7 ways to improve the experience of people at work through empathy - 10 key actions for empathy-driven success in leadership - 8 competencies of the empathetic leader - key insights on the power of cultivating empathetic leadership at work linkedin.com/pulse/leaders-….

@RobertThirsk day out @IWMDuxford with Kevin and Josiah, we were wondering what has more buttons the Space Shuttle or Concorde? This is definitely a day we wish you were here ☺️

Completely agree @BrianwDolan your results do not define your future! I left school with 3 GCSEs, felt my word had ended but it was just the beginning! Now I have 3 degrees! @Elizafpound finished her degree with a 1st! #solvingTogether Thanks for your support Brian ☺️
