So yesterday was the day I officially retired from the NHS after 40 years. A colleague made this fantastic cake celebrating my love of writing and books. I'll continue as a writer and journo; you can follow my news on @RachaelRow. But what a career it has been.

And the developments I have seen stand out too. I nursed some of the first people with AIDS in London and saw some of the first implantable defibs (I saw one in a museum recently). The best place to work was definitely accident and emergency. The camaraderie is incredible.

So after years of transformation and development, the current state of affairs is devastating to see. Please don't normalise corridor care or overcrowded wards and departments. And look after the staff. The NHS cannot run without the staff, especially clinicians.

Career highlights are: being one of the first nurses to give thrombolysis in ED and changing pathways for people with heart attacks, setting up and running a long covid service, and working on a national project on emergency nursing.

One day, you too will need a nurse

One day, you too will need a nurse

Nurses are the heart of the NHS. They are dedicated, skilled, knowledgeable and wise. This is why it’s time to value them and pay them properly

Brilliant news.

First time @theRCN has balloted all members for strike action in its 106-year history. It’s understandable that nurses seek redress but incomprehensible why the government has failed to publish a NHS workforce strategy for all hard pressed staff. People need hope for the future. – at London, England

Just a reminder that NOT giving #Flash #CGM to those with #T1Diabetes at present is denying them what the vast majority have. And is DELIBERATE sub-standard care If YOU want your name in the public domain as the person obstructing it? Please carry on If not? Follow the science
