This! I have been saying this for years. It’s like speaking into an empty void 🤷‍♀️

If you’ve seen the headlines this morning debating whether menopause is a disease and being over-medicalised, this video explains my thoughts. Menopause is more than a collection of symptoms; it is a cardiometabolic and inflammatory condition which leads to an increased risk of numerous diseases. Menopause has been ‘medicalised’ for years – including with antidepressants, antipsychotics, painkillers, sleeping tablets, anticholinergics to treat bladder symptoms, and heart medications to lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure and control palpitations. The first-line treatment for menopausal symptoms is body-identical HRT. Studies have shown that when women are given the right dose and type of hormones, their symptoms improve, and they have a lower future risk of numerous long-term inflammatory diseases associated with menopause including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, dementia, and depression as well as early death. Talking about menopause as being a ‘natural transition’ or part of ‘healthy ageing’ ignores the very real suffering of many women with menopausal symptoms.

This a million times !!!!

Demystifying Delirium #SOA23 1. Mobility cuts delirium in half 2. Family involvement reduces delirium 3. Don’t underestimate the impact of taking patients outside 4. Listen and Silent share the same letters….let’s listen to our patients more 🤐 @WesElyMD @ICS_updates

@credland_nicki @KateShemirani Absolutely Nikki - having been an ICU sister for 24 years I have left following 2 years in covid - keep telling the truth ❤️

@KateShemirani This is the most idiotic and wholly untrue paper and tweet. You are an absolute disgrace. If you had actually witnessed for yourself the sheer volume of patients needing critical care and the impact it had on HCPs you would keep your mouth shut and have some respect

It doesn’t matter if you are ordered ; euthanasia is illegal in the UK which means it is murder. Justice must be done and justice must be seen to be done to stand as a deterrent for the future expose-news.com/2023/06/23/nhs…

Micromanagement has a terrible impact on psychological safety. Micromanaged teams always have low scores in assessments of psychological safety. To deal with it: 1) make efforts to find out if it's happening amongst the teams you lead (people usually don't tell spontaneously) 2) support people in their first leadership roles not to become micromanagers 3) if you're being micromanaged, take action with others 4) self-reflect on your own style sites.google.com/schrag.ca/cons… Via @jvschrag @tom_geraghty.

Dear Cabinet Office Our lives were in your hands. Whatever you're hiding was a matter of life and death to us. Some of us were lucky to survive. Many did not. We're entitled to know why. Every little bit of it. Michael Rosen

Is it safe to move nurses across different wards and departments to plug staffing shortages? WDYT? rcni.com/nursing-standa…
