As someone who came to nursing late, as a single parent, I can’t say enough about the opportunities it has given me, or the great privilege it is to do this work, in its many forms. If anyone is thinking about a career in nursing, drop me a DM. We have spaces on our courses.

"Corporate antibodies" are people or processes within an organisation that resist new ideas & innovations, often with a good intention to protect it from risk. They're called “antibodies” as they seek to neutralise changes they perceive as threats to the status quo and make it very difficult to improve practices & behaviours. Approaches to build a positive environment for change: 1) Work hard to engage people who might block 2) Build a culture of psychological safety so people can voice their concerns & suggestions without fear of backlash 3) Provide support & resources to those who need help navigating the change process 4) Celebrate success: progress & milestones 5) Foster collaboration across teams 6) Identify "change champions" who can help maintain momentum and enthusiasm for the change 7) Establish a feedback loop & continuous learning system: bradenkelley.com/2023/09/how-to….

It was such a pleasure to speak to preceptee staff this week about the impact in their career that they can have, especially in relation to the Nhs long term plan and helping to reduce smoking and encourage the use of healthy daily habits 🙌 @BDCFT for our service users 🧘‍♀️🏃‍♀️🙌

@LYPFT_PLDT @SapphireeeA @AlanCrump4 @LeedsandYorkPFT Amazing well Done 👍 🙌

Almost every minute of every day someone is admitted to hospital with a smoking-related disease. It’s easier to stop smoking when you get the right support, there are lots of options to choose from. Quit smoking this #NoSmokingDay – Wednesday 13 March nhs.uk/better-health/…

🆕Today is #NoSmokingDay and people from across the country are arriving in Parliament to tell their stories about the impact of smoking on their lives — and why parliamentarians should back the Government’s vision for a #SmokefreeGeneration. ash.org.uk/media-centre/n…

Why not sign up to #OurFutureHealth as your New Year’s resolution? The sign-up process is easy, you’ll help researchers find new ways to prevent, detect and treat disease, and could find out more information about your own health: ourfuturehealth.org.uk/get-involved/t…

It's never too late to stop smoking. Quitting will improve your health - whatever your age and no matter how long you have smoked. Former England goalkeeper and ex-smoker David James @jamosfoundation shares his story of kicking the habit. Get support: nhs.uk/better-health/…

Some people will have stopped smoking on Jan 1 and found it defeated them. Try again, as soon as you can! You will have learned something even when you picked up a cigarette again. What can you do differently this time?

Every action plants a seed. Start today and positive shoots will soon grow 🌱 Image: @orenjaysofer
