Delighted to be with friends and colleagues from @CotDeathTrust in UHMonklands Sim centre talking about SUDI with a multi professional group

Seen lots about wellbeing for #NHS staff and have drawn something free for use. ‘Basic needs at work’ charter Every staff member should self assess with this Every Chief Exec and Senior Leader should sign up to this Change can happen through escalation Someone, somewhere cares

Delighted to have spent the day immersed in facilitating peer support training with some phenomenal @NHS_Lothian colleagues. The need is clear and the skills are key. Thank you @psa_ltd awesome as ever and more to come tomorrow. This is my work happy place 😊

@amanda_langsley I shall stand them down, just because it’s you

I realise Angela might kill me for posting this photo but hey, I have the motivation and positive intentions and she has the Royal Navy behind her so I might not survive the night 😅

Delighted to be training our colleagues from the Belford ED family in CRM today and more so that a work trip up here is CAVOK. Fancy a quick trip up the Ben @marion_mcnaught ?

The “reputation of the profession/colleges” often cited as reason not to make waves. So sit back and enjoy the adoration, or rock the boat and anticipate some stormy weather to gain improvement?

Seeing quite a lot about altruism in the NHS and also that it appears not to be a good look to fight for better pay and conditions. Altruism is a risk factor for burnout and compassion fatigue. It should not be held up as exemplary behaviour 1/

“Why is still hard after a trauma? I was coping so well.” This could be it: problems don’t crop up directly afterwards. By Angela Lewis #EMS2022

Looking forward to speaking at #ems2022 today where looking out for our people has a big place on the programme @European_EMS

I've been thinking about organisational response to not hitting targets. You can't "culture" your way out of a broken system; it simply doesn't work and it heaps the blame for the systemic issues on the shoulders of those working within it.

Spent 2 days with amazing group from @NHSGrampian sharing learning of peer support with @psa_ltd. Looking forward to revisiting my old stomping ground when we return to face to face training.
