Headed to London for our first Culture and Leadership conference for Ambulance Services. Looking forward to meeting colleagues from across the UK. #scas999 #scascompassion #CALNAS

Sadly, Zoe & Chris came back to this note in Lymington, Hampshire, today. It’s not always possible to park without obstructing traffic flow or driveways as parking further away could add minutes to our arrival time that the patient simply doesn’t have #DontAbuseOurStaff

So great to work with BHFT mental health colleagues today supporting them to make compassionate, collaborative connections across the patient pathway. Much can be achieved with the right people in the room. System OD at its best. @BHFT @SCAS999 #workingtogether #teamwork

Our 7th cohort of inspiring ambulance leaders graduated from the SCAS Leader programme today. So proud to be working with you. Be the change you want to see. #scas999 #scasproud #scascompassion

@JoeSmartNHS @RosPenny Could have added 6th floor of the Unison building to that today!

Not a bad view for NHSGraduate Scheme Assessments today. 27th floor Portland House.

Looking forward to being in London today with other ambulance trusts planning our UK-wide culture event on 17 January #calnas #scas #scascompassion

@kezza0827 @BHFT Well done Kerry! Stand looks great.

A recommended read from the library as it’s #MensMentalHealthMonth

Its induction day for new @BHFT staff. Come to our stand and find out how we support ALL staff to deliver great patient care #GreatPlacetoWork

The library staff would like to welcome the new medical students who are with us until Christmas. Please come to the library for evidence based information, a quite place to work and of course to enjoy our 2 massage chairs

Thank you to all who took part in the #OurNHSPeople tweet chat with @Prerana_Issar @NavinaEvans @andrewkfoster about what people in the NHS need from their leaders. Here's the report of the chat detailing the key themes and outputs: nhshorizons.passle.net/post/102fssd/o…

Really enjoyed visiting @SCAS999 in #Bicester this morning to celebrate their 10th birthday in the town 🎂. All staff work SO hard around the clock to help my constituents.🚑 #LoveOurNHS

Ahead of tomorrow's event on the challenge of culture change, read @WestM61 and @bailey_suzie's blog on five myths of compassionate leadership #kflead kingsfund.org.uk/blog/2019/05/f…

Emotional job for @NWAmbulance transferring gentleman to a hospice for his final days. Gentlemen “any chance on the way we can go via my favour place I used to walk and sit to see it for one last time?” “Anything you want sir!”

@BoEscritt @WRES_team @yvonnecoghill1 Such an important agenda for us. Thanks for leading so well - look out for the next Ambulance culture and leadership event 17 January 2020. Details coming soon.

We met @NatAmbBME last year and have remained friends/family since, encouraging each other ... we are chosing to actively make a difference across the country
