- One of my patients this morning told me that they find it difficult to explain their difficulties to others. I made this for them..
- On 5 July 1948, I came into work with my shiny shoes and 12p in my pocket. We couldn’t believe that healthcare was free, I remember my mam paying the doctor before he would even look at you. It was a joy to know that from that historic day onwards, money wasn't an issue #NHS70
- Today, I was able to ‘walk’ properly with a device called a Pam Aim (unsure of spelling). I can’t describe the feeling! I’m sure the big grin in the pictures say it all!
- Shall we take this opportunity to tell @Jeremy_Hunt that the NHS is still running even though it's a bank holiday? Radiographers (like A and E and wards) work 24/7 for emergency scans and imaging. Our role is vital for patients.
- As I come towards the end of my time on this account I wanted to let everyone know that I have really enjoyed this week - thank you for having me @NHS. I have written a few words to leave you with which I hope you will have a chance to read
- #HelloMyNameIs Ethel, I'm delighted to be taking over the @NHS account today. I was a cadet nurse on the first day of the NHS on 5 July 1948. I remember my first day, I had on clean pressed white overalls and very shiny shoes. #NHS70 Find out more: ow.ly/Cs9p30kNumB
- Just had a patient in who suffers from chronic fatigue. Which reminded me, I wanted to talk about this (see below ) today.
- Have u ever thought as u enter a room of colleagues.... I am not clever enough to be in here? That is probably the imposter syndrome & the #NHS is full of people with it. I say embrace your inner imposter, & remember no one knows everything - even people who think they do!
- The NHS attracts the most brilliant doctors from overseas. Meet @DrAmalinaBakri who was the top student in Malaysia and now training in UK.
- Replying to @NHSFor those asking for a picture of Joshua now here he is a year on with the picture we were given that lives above his bed. Most people never get to meet their heroes, I gave birth to mine! Thanks for listening to his story we’re off for a cuddle😊 #fighter #theboywholived
- I am so proud to have launched one of the first breast cancer screening mobile buses in Liverpool, 40 years ago in 1978. That old crate isn’t much to look at but I knew as a radiographer, we could treat breast cancer if caught early. We trundled that old crate all over Liverpool!
