4 in 10 NHS staff are unwell with work-related stress. The pressures of the past year have pushed many to the brink. Please retweet to show your support for the health workers in every role delivering vital care every day 💙 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #WithNHSStaff

It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and this year's theme is nature 🌻 🌹 🌷 Spending time outside and observing nature can help you live in the present moment and give your mood a boost. Can you take some time out today to #ConnectWithNature?
