This was me 11 months ago; standing for less than a minute with the help of a physio & a nurse. Through weakness, pain & nausea, I dreamt that I could #SwimBikeRun again Today I made it back to triathlon 🏊‍♀️ 🚴 🏃‍♀️ #BowelCancer #SurgeryMk2 #TRItanium #TacklingTheStomaStigma

Survivors have suffered for too long, this report must be a catalyst for change

When should we be doing #AdvancedCarePlanning? The answer is in the name… It shouldn’t be done in an emergency. All members of staff asked thought #ReSPECT was great but struggled to find a ‘good time’. *we won’t rob people of help, we can write down their wishes* #SOA2025

#palliativecare challenges in research and practice. Is the ICU terminology confusing or overwhelming for patients and families? @DrStephMeddickD #SOA2025 @ICS_updates

Thinking outside the box #palliativecare It starts with the first conversation. What does the patient want? #SOA2025 @ICS_updates

An important reminder - look beyond the patient and support the people around the patient, it’s this network which is key in helping the patient recover both psychologically and physically once discharged. #SOA25 #recoverybeyondsurvival @NCEPOD

Who should plug the deficit, benefit claimants or billionaires? While @RachelReevesMP is planning cuts to the long term sick & disabled #PIP MPs have got a 2.8% pay rise How can this be right? Clamp down on the cheats #TaxTheRich @Keir_Starmer @NadiaWhittomeMP @ZoeFranklinLD

8 people helped save my life in 2017 by giving a pint of blood 🩸 Can you help save a life this week? @GiveBloodNHS blood.co.uk/news-and-campa…

📊Alongside our Comparative Reports, we’ve created easy-to-digest infographics for CMP and NCAA — and for the first time, thanks to feedback from our PPI representatives, non-clinical versions too! 🧠💬 Check them out here👉 icnarc.org/audit/ #CAAW25

Closing the day, we are welcoming @Resus2Runner to reflect on life and death in ICU from the patient’s perspective
