I loved #Fingerbobs 😢
I'm very sad to report that Rick Jones, aka Yoffy from Fingerbobs has passed away aged 84. I initially interviewed him for my book many years ago and we stayed in touch. He was a huge creative spirit, a talented musician and a lover of life. I shall miss him greatly

Delighted to see Dr Sharkey being honoured for her caring, compassionate work as a clinician and leader. I will always remember her kindness to me in 2003 when my mother was under her skilful care in Altnagelvin Hospital. May you continue to enjoy success in the future
Congratulations to Dr Rose Sharkey, Respiratory Consultant at the Western Trust, who has been honoured in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List 2021 with the award of an OBE. Click Here for full story: westerntrust.hscni.net/respi… #WTHeroes

SKETCHNOTE MONDAY 🎉 One of my favourite theories is the Theory of Thriving at Work, developed by Gretchen Spreitzer and colleagues in 2005. It underpins much of the work I do, so I thought I'd share with you as you might find it useful too #psychology #sketchnotes

It is incumbent on all of us in hospital medicine, existing consultants and consultants to be, that this contract is rejected at all costs. By removing clinical independence it stifles patient care. If I was a Irish trainee abroad I would certainly not be coming home for it

Have just read the Draft Sláintecare Consultant contract, May 31st 2021 version. Reads more like an 18th Century Bond of Indenture @IMO_IRL @IHCA_IE have a lot of work to do to try and make this workable. Given its current form, would not advise potential applicants to sign it

The NRH is a truly excellent place to work; no other hospital can match up to it, in my opinion. We need talented people to sign up for rewarding career opportunities. See the ad below. Come and join us!

I was the on-call SpR psychiatrist last night in South London I assessed people in a mental health crisis who needed emergency inpatient care There was NOT A SINGLE PSYCHIATRIC BED AVAILABLE IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY If this was physical health, there would be outrage

A message for all #flagshaggers or #fleggers on either side of the Irish Sea: "You can't eat a flag." Politics is not about flags. #Humespeak
Real politics shouldn't be about waving flags, it should be about developing the standard of living of all sections of your people. 23 years on from the Good Friday Agreement, we all need to spill our sweat to change our society for the better.

I love #LineOfDuty and yesterday’s opening episode was great. Intriguing. The opening episode to season 3 with @DanielMays9 @mellor76 was very dramatic! As was the opener to season 2 with @Misskeeleyhawes All the seasons are brilliant! @Line_of_duty
