This is the reality of a systemic failure of nursing.

If you think it’s offensive ?

Try smelling it.

Try having this as your foot.

Try watching your father slowly rot infront of you.

Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich is run by Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust and they continue to blame the staff - this is bigger than one person.

Bigger than one ward.

Bigger than one HCA, Nurse or Doctor.

There are no winners in this situation.

This is a failure of duty of care on a systemic and leadership level.

It’s chaotic and dangerous.

Perhaps the CEO Ben Travis would like to comment ?

Because all other avenues have failed and father will die from this unless someone listens to what is happening.

People are fighting for basic health care and ultimately their lives.

Please share, like and comment. We need all the help we can get.

No one should have to suffer in this way.

This isn’t policy.
It’s people.

And it’s happening on the floors of our hospitals.

⸻

We have safe limits for concerts.
We have safe limits for cars.
We have safe limits for planes.

Capacity.
Ratios.
Regulation.

Because risk matters.

But in NHS hospitals?

There is no red line.

Patients stacked in corridors.
Human beings parked like overflow.

My dad.

On a corridor.
Lights blazing 24 hours a day.
Machines beeping.
Trolleys rattling past his head.

No dignity.
No privacy.

Incontinence pads exposed.
No screens.
No protection from wandering eyes.

Bed sores missed.
Gangrene creeping in while staff sprint between impossible demands.

And the staff?

Exhausted.
Morally distressed.
Trying to deliver safe care in an environment that isn’t safe.

This is not compassionate healthcare.
It is crisis management on a loop.

Politicians had opportunities.
Funding choices were made.
And people are paying the price with their bodies.

How many deaths will it take before corridor care is recognised for what it is?

Inhumane.
Unsafe.
A failure of leadership.

Corridors are for walking.
Not for treating our sickest and most vulnerable.

We cannot normalise this.

If you work in healthcare, speak.
If you lead, act.
If you vote, remember.

Because this isn’t abstract.
It’s someone’s parent.
Someone’s partner.
Someone’s child.

And today, it was mine.

Please sign & share. Its in every ones best interests that all countries in the UK stop “corridor care.”

In Wales, patients are currently receiving care on trolleys or chairs for hours on end, often days, in pain and suffering. Doctors, nurses, and health care staff are forced to treat and care for patients in corridors, car parks, and other places where safe, dignified care isn't possible and where th...

Speaking up and using your voice?

A privilege denied to many...
Especially women globally.

Empowerment can be LOUD or it can be quiet.

Sometimes you have to stand up and be counted.

This is me using my privilege.

“Something loved is never lost.”

I have a ring with this engraved on it.

I look at it often.
I reflect on what it means.

It started as a reminder to myself,
even on the days when I felt lost,
I could still love myself.

I couldn’t be “lost” because I loved myself,
cracked and broken parts and all.

Loving myself wasn’t about thinking “oh you’re brilliant.”

But about the acceptance of who and where I was.

Loving myself with compassion, regardless.

The pathway that I was on...

And where I am today, too.

I am loved and supported.

And even if you don’t feel it?

You are, too.

When I think about these words,
I breathe a little more easily.
A little less painfully, sometimes.

And that is the beauty of quotes.

Please do share yours, and we can all share our wisdom.

My best advisors ARE NOT therapists…

And here’s why.

Therapy,
Counselling,
Psychotherapy,
Call it what you like.

It isn’t about advice giving.

Nope.

It’s about,
Exploration,
Empowerment,
Discovery,
learning skills,

And self love ❤️

What would you add to the list ?

This is one of my best people whom I go to 🥰

⁣
⁣
Sometimes, ⁣
there is no plan. ⁣
⁣
⁣
The chaos unfolds ⁣
and you find yourself in a place, ⁣
a situation or ⁣
with a person that wasn’t …what you had in mind.⁣
⁣
It wasn’t meant to be like this. ⁣
⁣
This wasn’t the plan. ⁣
⁣
What went wrong?⁣
⁣
Nothing. ⁣
⁣
This is life. ⁣
It’s OK.⁣
It’s not easy,⁣
It’s not always fair. ⁣
⁣
But if you follow it?⁣
Embrace it?⁣
You can find your way back to you. ⁣
⁣
You are surviving in the chaos. ⁣
⁣
Inspite of it,⁣
because of it. ⁣
⁣
It’s raw,⁣
painful,⁣
Ugly ⁣
and can be exhausting. ⁣
⁣
But you can do it. ⁣
⁣
Check in with yourself... ⁣
⁣
Do you know where you are? ⁣
⁣
Who you are? ⁣
⁣
Where you want to be?⁣
⁣
Sometimes,⁣
the plan? ⁣
⁣
Is to have no plan. ⁣
⁣
Embrace it,⁣
even if it makes you uncomfortable⁣
and watch how life improves. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes, ⁣
my clients get stuck.⁣
⁣
And my response? ⁣
Sometimes,⁣
we have to start with what we don’t want. ⁣
⁣
And maybe,⁣
the plan isn’t what we need. ⁣
⁣
So, what’s your plan ? ⁣

“𝐕𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the most toxic terms in healthcare. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“Oh, they work 70+ hours a week, it’s their vocation.”⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What to die from exhaustion?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
To have no work life balance. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For the guilt they hold if they dare to have the “audacity”to prioritise their own needs? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
That’s not a vocation. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s a sentence. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One where the payoff? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Is toxic burnout,⁣⁣
broken relationships⁣⁣
And corrosive guilt. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Vocation. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Used as a “stick” to pressure humans to give more than is sustainable to others. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Regularly. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I googled it …⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Literally, the first example is about medics. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Vocation. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It isn’t a saintly persuit. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It IS instead, a toxic poison used to create unhealthy reliance on others. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Demanding that they sacrifice themselves, over and over in the name of “good.” ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Service to others? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Should never be at the cost to ourselves. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“Vocation” needs a vacation from healthcare. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Now. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
What word would you like to bin? ⁣⁣

I thought about what to write a million times.

5 years.

1826 days ago …

Life changed.

The world shifted.

Lockdown.

I’d never heard of the word.

Let alone understood its meaning or impact.

Bubbles, social distancing and furlough.

We’ve all changed.

Much healing is needed.

Especially, within NHS.

They are still hurting.

Very much so.

So today?

Please think about what they did.

They ran towards the nightmare.

Many didn’t make it.

Many still don’t.

PTSD,
Anxiety,
Depression,
Burnout,
Trauma
And moral injury.

All can be killers,
Like Covid.

Support us so that we can support them.

So that in another 5 years ?

Another million frontline workers can access emotional support.

Together we can support them,
Like they did us.

And still do.

I have red hair.

You can’t easily miss it.

What, you may not know?

Is the history of women and the colour red.

It’s just a colour, right?

No.

From the Suffragettes, who wore red lipstick to signal rebellion,
whilst fighting for women to vote.

In World War II, Women wore red lipstick in defiance of Hi**er.

It was a stand against Na**sm.

And in recent years?

In Chile, women wore it to protest against the sexual assault of women.

Red has long been a symbol of empowerment,
resistance to the patriarchy,
liberation and boldness.

Stand up,
stand out,
but whatever you do?

Stand for something.

Red.

It is not just a colour.

It’s a statement.

Wear it.
Embrace it.
Today, more than ever,
the world needs YOUR voice.

Happy International Women’s Day - stand with us, for us or against us, but we are not going anywhere.

Today, my boys wear red ❤️❤️
