Possibly made every mistake in the book as teacher, mother, daughter, wife, trainer, friend, carer and colleague, but I did try to be kind.

NO hospital or health organisation is above scrutiny. As soon as they circle wagons and act “to protect the system” know they are frantically covering up and that all associated bodies will be helping them to do so. The system is more important than the patients 😡

A confidential report by @RCSnews says leaders at Great Ormond Street "manifestly failed in their responsibility" and staff concerns were repeatedly dismissed with managers "shirking their responsibility". This poor culture extended to the trust board 3/4 thetimes.com/article/9ec9154…

So true - Post Office & Grenfell Tower opened our eyes. The NHS is next. So many individual inquest coroners already indicate neglect/poor practice contributing to avoidable deaths (especially regarding Mental Health & vulnerability)
All of our institutions are rotten. Which is so difficult for the decent people who do work in them, and those who come into contact with them.

🚨 Looks like all GP practoces using EMIS are down today due to the global IT outages. How many GP practices is that? All? Most?
And don’t forget - if you got married decades ago to a person who now requires care - that “In sickness & in health”bit neatly lends itself to “not disabled enough for our system”judgements

Always go for the low hanging fruit when it comes to any benefit 😠😡🤬
100% in support with this family and 100000s of others in this country. We have a huge crisis. The local councils see carers as the enemy. The NHS could do 3 to 4 checks in one but is not set up to, the whole carers allowance system is broken and much more.

“Laughing Boy” highlights many reoccurring themes:
⚡️ obfuscation, denial and cover-ups
⚡️ failures to provide basic levels of safe care
⚡️ parent blame
⚡️ inquest-induced trauma
⚡️the difficulty for some orgs to “learn lessons”
⚡️ how excruciatingly difficult it is to say sorry

Job description for an apprentice PA working in general practice. All you need is a 2:1 or higher in a science-based degree.

But what about carers can’t work @Helen_M_Walker on top of caring role? There’s a fixation on increasing the earning threshold for carers that have time to find employment. As you know from your own survey many work 90 plus hrs a week caring. There’s no extra time to work🧵.
Our new #StateOfCaringFinances research introduced by Chief Executive @Helen_M_walker shows thousands of unpaid carers in poverty because of the cost of living crisis and unfit benefit systems. Government must act to provide financial support immediately.
