@OhmeEV - note sure if you saw this, it’s disappointing that it lasted a couple of months before being impossible to use

@OhmeEV I had one of your Home pro installed in November… it’s disappointing that the supplied cable hook can’t take the weight of the fixed eight meter cable. It has been so much, I cannot get a thumb between the plastic and the charger to release it without forcing.

@nqpcharlie I’d like to second anyone who is saying @cpdme. I’ve been using it for number of years, the app is the way forward – I now spend 4-5 minutes on any activity (photographing certificates/evidence, dictating a reflection and linking it to the HCPC standards). It’s super easy

6 months at my nqp job and just realised I shelved figuring out how to record my CPD and just… haven’t logged any of it. Greatgreatgreat. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@bradgander_ @SECAmb_CCP Congratulations Brad!

@ClaireFoweraker @SECAmb_CCP @StGeorgesUni Congratulations again, very well deserved Claire! You will be amazing at it 😊

Super excited to be starting as a sCCP with @SECAmb_CCP this week and to be studying at @StGeorgesUni towards an ACP MSc in Critical Care. Many years of applications, reflecting and learning has finally paid off. Now the hard work begins 🚑 💪🏻

It took me a while to understand this. When I stepped into my first leadership role, I believed success was a result of perfect systems and processes. But, as Mike Ettore so eloquently points out in this image from his book “Trust-Based Leadership”, you LEAD PEOPLE and MANAGE THINGS. It wasn't until years later that I truly grasped this profound difference. But once I did, I began to see people, not as resources to be managed, but as individuals to be led with purpose and care. Here are the most significant lessons I've learned from my experience: 1. Human Connections > Business Metrics While KPIs and metrics are important, leaders build genuine relationships. They make the effort to know the person behind the role—understanding their aspirations, their concerns, and what motivates them beyond the numbers. 2. Distribute Decision-Making Power Across All Levels Leaders trust their team enough to let them make their own decisions. I've repeatedly found that empowering your people builds their confidence, inspires them to be creative, and makes them accountable. 3. Come Down to Their Level Leaders adapt to each team member's unique needs. Flexible work, personalized feedback, whatever it is… meet people where they are if you want them to thrive. 4. There is Power in Vulnerability Leaders are transparent about struggles and uncertainties. I've learned that being open about my own challenges and seeking help when I need it builds trust. You share, you grow. 5. Identify And Celebrate Diversity A high-performing team is also a well-rounded team. Identify and nurture each member’s strengths and create a space where they feel safe to contribute. Their varied perspectives and skills will only help you thrive. 6. Create Purpose-Driven Work Your people are inspired when they understand how their contributions shape the bigger picture. Help them find meaning in their work and they will champion your business. Leadership is not just about achieving outcomes but about enriching the lives of those you lead. And that can only happen by leading with compassion, kindness, and empathy. Let's lead with not just our minds, but also our hearts. ❤️

I tweet quite a bit - but this one is different and perhaps the most important I’ve ever written I hope it gets shared as much as possible, so new parents don't make the same mistake I nearly made (even as a dad of five, having worked in A&E for 23 years and someone who teaches about not missing a diagnosis because of cognitive biases). Our 6 week old baby is getting discharged today from @TheAlexBrighton @UHSussex after receiving the best possible care for meningitis. She is doing really well and as a family we can't begin to express our gratitude to all involved. The day she came in, she was not herself but nothing which particularly worried us. But my wife did her temperature, and it was over 38C. As she was under 3 months, it meant she needed to be seen in A&E ASAP. By the time we got to A&E she was really quite sick even though it was only 30mins after taking her temperature. I initially dismissed her signs and initially even questioned why my wife did her temperature. I had a cognitive bias, twisting my thinking to believing she was ok because that is what I wanted her to be, when she wasn't- a positivity bias. Please if you are worried about your new baby - be like my wife and not me, check their temperature, use your gut instinct and don't delay getting the help your baby needs. @M_R_F
