New Years Resolution = celebrate the fantastic skills of our delegates, learning how to support families and each other through communication skills training. Thank you @teamWMCN for allowing us to work alongside you again this year in the roll out of Martha's Rule.

@SLewisRD @GWham50246 @ABB_AOS @macmillancancer @CEOabuhb @AneurinBevanUHB We'd love to hear how everyone gets on too!

The role nurses play in supporting families through these very dark times stays with people forever, so grateful to nurses who do this @cathryn4605 @Rosamund1010 @AnnalBray @nickifitz @Rachelloiscooke @FlissJMitch 🫶🏼 @WeCYPnurses @WeNurses

We've just finished 2 wonderful days working with staff from @ForgetMNotChild. Supporting them to develop their communication skills. @Tog4ShortLives @lisblacker #communication #compassion #palliativecare #paediatricpalliativecare

Thank you @RoaldDahlFund for providing this training! Can't wait to put all the new skills I learnt into use @LG_NHS #gatherbeforegiving #howdoesthatmakeyoufeel

Here we are last week at the start of a new adventure with the fabulous nurses from @RoaldDahlFund. Supporting them to improve their conversations with families they care for. #communicationskills #caring #empathy

🚨 NEW: Oil giant Shell has just recorded £32,200,000,000 in profit – the highest in 115 years. Will we see its corporate executives named and shamed for being “greedy”? Or does that only apply to teachers and nurses fighting for fair pay? #EnoughIsEnough

Nurses and Dr's sat together to summarise their learning from our 2 Day Advanced Communication Skill Training Course @NWChildrenPCN @Tog4ShortLives Their evaluations suggest significant change in the way they will talk to patients, parents and colleagues. reachcommunication.co.uk

Set up and ready to deliver 2 days Advanced Communication Skills Training on behalf of Greater Manchester Palliative Care Children's Network. reachcommunication.co.uk

🚨 PLEASE RT 🚨 Defend the #RightToStrike 👊 On Monday, the government will try to ram through its anti-strike law. An attack on the very frontline workers they once called “heroes”. We’ll be protesting outside Parliament from 6PM. Join us: wesayenough.co.uk/events/

Nurses' pay has fallen by 5% since 2010. The pay offer will lead to a predicted further fall of 5%. The PM describes this as "appropriate and fair"!! nuffieldtrust.org.uk/resource/chart…

The saddest, most beautiful piece I think we’ve ever published. @robdelaney⁩ on losing his son, Henry thetimes.co.uk/article/09dae3…

@ClaireDepDDQN @gksharan23 @ali_rea @daljitathwal We are lucky to have had the support of families from when planning began for Woodland House, they designed the space alongside us. Also guided us in important aspects like colour/fabric choices. Staff have likewise given help and wise advice. #coproduction #codesign #authentic

@gksharan23 @nickifitz @ali_rea Wasn’t it an inspiring morning? I cannot wait to share my reflections regarding coproduction at its best at I&D committee next week. I got my bulbs safely home….thank you Martineau Gardens ❤️ @daljitathwal

Good News! Thanks to the hard work and effort of local residents, the clinic and my colleague @LizClements - @BhamCityCouncil and @WMPolice have introduced a #PublicSpaceProtectionOrder around the Robert Clinic on #StationRoad #B30 - more details at birmingham.gov.uk/downloads/file…

I've been facilitating a communication skills training course this week @RainbowsHospice and met a nurse who used to work on PICU @BWC_NHS . She said @gilljen45 was the best boss she ever had and would want to be like her as a leader. Fab feedback Gill 😀

@AcornsHospice @Sufcsolihull @Edwardstrust @BirminghamSands @ali_rea For any dads that have and are going through babyloss. You are not alone.

I learn to use #Kalashnikov and prepare to bear arms. It sounds surreal as just a few days ago it would never come to my mind. Our #women will protect our soil the same way as our #men. Go #Ukraine! 🇺🇦
