Yes I follow the Tweeting Kettle on Twitter, I’m not quite sure when or even why I began to follow him (or her!) but it’s one of the random accounts I love following.  Anyway this little gem flashed up on my Twitter stream today:   Life saving chats – how often do we consider a…

Argghhhhhhh !! It seems I have let a few days run away with me … as its now day 21 and Days 18, 19 and 20 just appear to have disappeared into the Christmas ether ! However rather than kicking myself for not succeeding in a blog post a day I would rather reflect on…

Wow I love this: Fear is spoiling #Lego Lindsey’s trip to the park. What could help? https://t.co/QksDCW4cTK #EvidentlyAdvent pic.twitter.com/NUtEq2U9CC — Cochrane UK (@UKCochraneCentr) December 17, 2015 What a wonderfully creative way to get some evidence and research into our Twitter streams.  Not only are these films home grown by the UK Cochrane team but they…

After a bust early shift I have to admit to not having really looked at any social media today – but during the 5 minutes I have just spent “checking in” this picture caught my eye: I think its so important that sometime we switch off and relax both as caring nurses and as tweeting…

This morning I briefly scanned down my Twitter stream and this tweet from @maxwele2 caught my eye (original Tweet by @sarasiobhan): Brilliant linguistic analysis of how NHS ‘apologises’- many staff use without thinking @KathEvans2 @johnwalsh88 https://t.co/yzg1VgnJIh — elaine maxwell (@maxwele2) December 12, 2015 Non apologies in communications between @Southern_NHSFT and us.
