- Today marks 140 years since the death of Mary Seacole one of the pioneers of modern nursing. During her life Mary overcame adversity and barriers to provide compassionate care.
- A huge thank you to those district, care home and community nurses and colleagues from primary care who are out visiting people, caring for people in need and providing vaccinations. For more than 160 years community nurses have cared for people at home 365 days of the year.
- Completely overwhelmed by the lovely messages of congratulations following the Platinum Jubilee Honours. Thank you to everyone - I have tried to respond individually - apologies if I have missed you. I am grateful to work with amazing colleagues and I’m proud to lead @TheQNI
- ‘Nursing is a profession of vigilance not simply one of task delivery. Scheduling of work must be person-centered and individualised and the named Registered Nurse must determine the appropriate ‘window’ of time to deliver holistic care.’ Prof Alison Leary @alisonleary1 @TheQNI

- After of life time of service today sees Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth laid to rest. While community nurses from health and social care continue to provide care, community nurses will be represented at the funeral by Queen’s Nurses @stephlawrence5 @saldri01 @TheQNI @CrystalOldman
- This Christmas Day community nurses are out in our communities, people’s homes, hospices and care homes providing care to those in need as they have for more than 135 years. Happy Christmas 🎄and thank you @TheQNI @CrystalOldman
- Thank you @DawnButlerBrent for your advocacy and support for nursing. The path is often long and winding but we will get there. Delighted you are standing again for the next Parliament because the nation needs MPs like you. Thanks to to @alisonleary1 @ProfJuneG @caspertown42
- Pfizer second doses for 10 hours today and tomorrow. Lovely to see the same patients again. @TheQNI @CrystalOldman @CNOEngland
- Replying to @PaulBrandITV and @itvnews@PaulBrandITV where is the evidence that District Nurses are unable to see patients? @TheQNI represents community nursing and this is totally untrue. Tens of thousands of patients are been cared for by district nurses 24/7. Reporting facts would help @CrystalOldman
