Read through the thread of tweets first thing this morning. First action as soon as I got to @RBNHSFT was to put an all staff note out to say keep hydrated, look after yourselves and your colleagues, take fluids regularly when needed. Our staff welfare is key to patient care.
With the hot weather I thought I’d ask a question: do you think it’s ok to see staff drinking at work in the Emergency Department? Eg when writing up their notes. Please answer if you are a member of NHS staff or a member of the public.
60%I’m NHS staff - it’s fine
1%I’m NHS staff - no
38%I’m public - it’s fine

pleased you could come - it was really useful for us to have the community and voluntary services together in one room showing us how they can support patients on discharge - a useful update ready for Winter
It was great to meet so many staff @RBNHSFT at 'Support Upon Discharge Event' It gave us a chance to talk about #HealthwatchRdg and showcase all our project. We also gathered information from other voluntary and community groups.

Excellent day - powerful presentation from @dr_shibley on carers experience - best place to assess a patient is in their home surroundings! - they usually manage best at home - particularly if they have a very nice cat! @lizsargeant always good to meet your heroes! #homefirst
⁦@dr_shibley⁩ with two fantastic therapists ⁦@moyrapugh⁩ ⁦⁦@AliceCLockhart⁩ . it is great to see so many people who know thinking #homefirst is right, coming together, with an energy that is palpable. Hearts and minds aligning, outcomes for people improving
