Today we’re sharing the incredible story of the Regency Community Care Division, which was a St John Unit in Brighton dedicated to caring for people with HIV and AIDS. Darren Owen, who helped found the group 30 years ago, spoke to the chair of our Pride Network Jake McCandless 👇
Text reads "Terry changed the way St John thought about gay people...Terry helped support St John become the diverse organisation it is today."

In 2013, Dr. Kate Granger initiated a campaign advocating for healthcare professionals to introduce themselves to patients. While this may appear straightforward, and I've encountered the sentiment that it's an oversimplification or already standard practice, my personal experience suggests otherwise. Approximately one year ago, I was admitted to a local hospital due to acute cholecystitis. During my hospitalization, I observed the same phenomenon that Dr. Kate Granger highlighted. The patient experience in a hospital setting can be quite distinct from that of a healthcare provider. Many healthcare professionals were diligently performing their duties, and doing so effectively, yet often omitted introductions or explanations of their actions. Therefore, the message conveyed in the campaign initiated by Dr. Kate Granger should be reinforced. hellomynameis.org.uk/

Cardiac arrest isn’t a diagnosis in the same way as headache isn’t a diagnosis, jaundice isn’t a diagnosis, chest pain isn’t a diagnosis, abdo pain isn’t a diagnosis. If we keep trying to find magic bullets that treat the presenting complaint, we’re relying on luck to innovate.

This month marks 10 years since I first registered as a Paramedic, beginning my career with @EastEnglandAmb, before moving to @Ldn_Ambulance. Both organisations have helped to shape me personally and professionally, not to mention countless mentors, colleagues and friends who…

I have lost count of the times that I have cried at work, but this has to be the time with the biggest of mixed emotions. Thank you @djobtn, @Dr_Hannah87, @Luke_Tester, @Will_Bellamy and the rest of the Sussex+friends team. @stjohnaustralia, have room for a foreign Johnner?

Eating some of the cheapest and most delicious Singaporean cuisine. On the menu today? Brekky - Kaya toast, soft boiled eggs & kopi Lunch - Hawker centre food market for Xiaolongbao, Laksa and Hainanese chicken rice. Don’t forget the beers. Grand total? 20 quid. Insane.
