OK so I have cheated a bit with this blog post and I haven’t used a current Twitter post that has resonated with me today … but rather a Twitter post that resonated with me a year ago. I was reminded of this post through my Time Hop App – which shows me posts from…
Putting the social into social media – Day 5
Twitter is a great place to be as a healthcare professional, you get to meet with all sorts of people, share ideas, experiences, thoughts, evidence, research and participate in really interesting discussions …. However life would be very dull indeed if along the way we could laugh a little. Social media is social after all…
Not so different – Day 4
I quite often finish a Tweetchat buzzing with ideas and enthusiasm but none more so as when we manage to bring more than one health care profession together. There is something quite magical about professions collaborating during an hour long twitter discussion, bringing together ideas, experiences and expertise. Last night WeNurses held just such a…
Stopping to reflect – Day 3

Dreaming of being a nurse
Last week was the end of the school term and our local school invited parents in for the afternoon to look at their child’s work. It’s always lovely to see what my daughter has been up to and she takes great pride in showing me every page however this term I have to admit to…
Keeping Up – Infographic
A little while back I wrote a blog called Keeping Up which was all about keeping up during Twitter Chats. The blog was quite widely shared however, as well all know sometimes a blog is just too many clicks or even too much to read when surfing the world wide web … especially when viewed vis…
Smiling when you Tweet
Before you go any further dear Reader this blog comes with a sparkling and fluffy warning … I happen to like sparkly and fluffy but I know there are many who do not. If you are a decidedly unsparkly and unfluffy person then I suggest you close your browser right now ! Ok so now…
