@StephJonesBerry @NurseStandard @rcni At the end of the day, how I look does not affect my clinical judgement or how I interact with patients.

Calling nurses with tattoos, piercings or brightly dyed hair Is your body art visible when at work? Have your employers or patients been negative/positive about it? Do NHS uniform policies need updating? Who decides what is offensive or not? Curious to hear some thoughts...

@adamfare1996 All the best Adam on this next step in your journey! Starting a new medication for mines today too 😊.

Change can be scary but, it can also be exciting! It can open up new opportunities for both patients and staff.

Very interesting! 15% of the population has dyslexia and / or specific learning differences. Is your workplace dyslexia friendly? @WeNurses @MarkBir41552571 @BDAdyslexia @AgencyNurse @S_J_Fitzpatrick

@chloemarieexx Psychiatric drugs explained was my grail during my training.

I'm starting my mental health nursing degree in january, is there any mental health nurses/students who can suggest any books etc/must haves? Trying to be as prepared as possible.. #mentalhealthnursing #mentalhealthnursingstudent

When autistic people are more likely to suffer from suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts and potentially make up 40% of suicides, suicide prevention has to include increasing recognition, access to support, and understanding for all autistic people. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

“We don’t need any more psychiatric beds” Said nobody ever on the frontline who knows how poorly the people are on acute wards these days Or anyone faced with having to keep similarly ill people in the community with unacceptable levels of risk What do these people know?

We have published a major new report alongside @NHSGGC and @P_H_S_Official on the health inequalities faced by LGBT+ people, showing that this is still a key public health issue: news.nhslothian.scot/2022/06/23/nhs…

Stop gaslighting yourself into the narrative you’re lazy when you’re really burnt-out and exhausted AF from trying to survive these dark times.

@SueReviews I found the one I'm meaning on YouTube. youtu.be/_-cXmRoKCxA I'll wrack my brain for other resources I've used in the past with young people 😊

@SueReviews Do the children have travel self soothe boxes they can take with them? First things that came to my head were, would they tolerate ear defenders/do they use them? The Maisy books are nice resources, there's actually one called Maisy goes on a plane (reading on YouTube too!)

Help and advice needed please! Mum with two autistic children, both largely non-speaking (and don’t really use AAC either) and often experiencing extreme sensory distress. Whole family has to take a long haul flight at short notice to visit a dying relative. Any suggestions…
