British Gas cancelled again! 😡🤬. Had leaking pipes for the 2+ months. They won't let me fix the problem because it voids warranty. It's cost me approx £600 in loss of wages, heating & water so far. I have to wait yet another month to fix it @BritishGas #poorcustomerservice

Today on #WorldOralHealthDay we’re stressing the importance of maintaining good oral health. People with #dementia have a higher rate of tooth decay & gum disease, which can be because they find daily activities difficult, or are unable to express pain: dementiauk.org/get-support/m…

This COVID year has been a year of adapting to change, realising the importance of team working, the value of nature, & how grateful I am for the people around me (2 metres away of course). I am so grateful for what I have & what I have learnt on this journey #oneyearon

The Meaningful Activities Service has been supporting people living with dementia at @Leic_hospital for 7 years today! Our longest serving team member Heather reflected on her experience seeing the service grow and develop (in more ways than a change in uniform!) @uhl_DOE 🎂🎈

So ya, got asked again. This was part of a much bigger piece with @UHLRebeccaCOO I don’t have to justify myself...but I do this because I think it’s important for people to know how damn hard this is. How exhausted we are. How other peoples actions impact more than their own 1/2

Think someone isn’t trying? Think again. Thank you to @mellow_doodles for sharing what the reality of ‘getting better’ can sometimes look like.
