“Legacy is not leaving something for people, it's leaving something in people.” Today we remember the one and only Dr Kate Granger who died on this day in 2016. Kate’s powerful #HelloMyNameIs campaign inspired thousands across the NHS having a huge impact on patients and staff.

Do customer service staff get trained on the Equality Act? Just intervened - employee in a soho cafe refused to take an order from a customer in a wheelchair stuck outside the door. She claimed she couldn’t leave her colleague to go to the door as she’s pregnant and it’s busy 😡

Horrified is right. Creon is essential for so many including those with pancreatic cancer. When I worked at @PancreaticCanUK we knew that many people didn’t get the access to it that they needed and it’s heartbreaking to know a shortage will make it worse.
Horrified to read this - The Sunday Times highlighted this Creon shortage earlier this year - it could last until 2026! It is a major crisis affecting many many patients

We know the England team losing the #EURO2024 is the worst outcome for some, for others however it's the reality of waiting for their partner to come home. Football doesn't cause #DomesticAbuse, abusers do. Share our helpline so women know they are not alone 👇🏼👇🏿

Really overwhelmed by such positive response to my job news today. I’m excited by the possibilities of what lies ahead but also aware of the responsibilities. It may take me a while to reply to everyone personally, but I’m so grateful for the support and positivity.

💜💚💜 Congratulations to all the 263 women MPs in our new parliament. You now make up 40.46% of MPs. Significant progress on 35% before. Some sadly not returning, but we are retaining & gaining many, many more. Onwards and upwards. @CentenaryAction @fawcettsociety #SheVotes24

While developing cancer during pregnancy is rare, it is so important to #BeBodyAware like Kelly, and flag any changes or concerns you have with your physical or mental health with your midwife or GP.
