I wonder if this is regular bladder or nurse bladder.

Colleen Ramsay, @owainwynevans.bsky.social , Italy. What's not to love? #Ciao!

Today's assignment was on change. Specifically why employees resist change. The premise of the question implied that resistance to change should be avoided. This isn't always the case and @helenbevan.bsky.social makes a good point that it can be valuable and even strengthen change. #MBA

I passed my finance module. And pretty well. Which is quite a shock to me! It was brutal 😄 #MBA #HealthcareLeadership

🧵 Today we have released a new report on UK govt plans to overhaul the Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) system. Every day, internationally educated nursing staff (IENs) make vital contributions to our health & care services, but UK govt’s proposals fail to recognise their value. (1/3)

Lecturer for my new module "you may already be familiar with the PESTLE analysis..." Yes, yes indeed I am. I think its been in every single module I've done so far on this course 😆 I can do these i my sleep i think lol. #MBA

Just spending my Sunday afternoon calculating standard deviations for fictional share portfolios, as if I was the capital budgeting manager of the NYSE. As you do. And thats before the critical analysis of Harry Markowitz's modern portfolio theory. #MBA #Finance #Assigment

And we’re off. Can Taylor Swift return to number one in the uk singles chart with “The fate of Ophelia” just ahead of Raye’s iconic “Where is my husband?” I think so. Perhaps. @officialcharts.bsky.social @itaherone.bsky.social

Oh by the way Taylor Swift is predicted to return to number one tomorrow according to the midweek update.

The definition of risk is interesting though. Seminal work.

We did a lot on volatility. And this thing. www.investopedia.com/terms/m/modi...

Modern Portfolio Theory. Im reading it over and over and its just not going in 🙀 I think this finance module has finally defeated me! #MBA Henry Markowitz may have won a nobel prize for his work but I still dont get it. @drshibley.bsky.social any tips on this one?

Even though I'm not on the other place now, I feel that this is a tradition I'd like to continue. My #NewYear Emoji quiz! Not really very sure how well this will take off on here so any help you can give me to share the love please do! The clues are related to clinical research. Just for fun!

Uh-oh... power cut, never a good sign. It came back on though - hoping it stays that way!

A quiz question for you @drshibley.bsky.social Which Taylor Swift song shares one of the words in its title with her name? I made it up for my round in the Christmas quiz at work. I dont think anyone got it I think it was a bit difficult 🙈 I feel that you would get it instantly 😆

Very interesting day today on the @thercnwales.bsky.social #PoliticalLeadership course. Great to meet @heleddfychan.bsky.social as well and hear her talk about being an MS.

It’s #WhiteRibbonDay and this year the focus is digital violence. I face a lot of online abuse and I know how often it can spill into real life. If you see sexism, misogyny or racism online, call it out. 16 days of activism starts now.

Seems apt to share this this again today. #CovidInquiry receivingconsent.com/2021/12/08/i...

Join us to mark Remembrance Day to honour the personal sacrifice of nursing staff in conflicts around the world. We will remember them.

We will remember them❤️ Ar ddiwrnod y Cadoediad, rydym yn anrhydeddu dewrder, ymrwymiad a dewrder ein Lluoedd Arfog a'n cyn-filwyr, gan gofio'r rhai sydd wedi colli eu bywydau mewn gwrthdaro. It's important we all pause to remember and honour those who served, and gave their lives for our freedom.

Tonight's reading in #MBA land. This is tough, but I think something is going in my brain. I feel like I'm back at school learning formulas again! #FinancialPlanning #ProjectedIncomeStatement

Went to see #Six last night in Cardiff and it was fantastic. This woman was the unexpected star of the show. She was doing the BSL signing and looked like she was living her best life. Legend.

Part of the problem with having a Law masters degree is that if you put LLM after your name people think you're referencing AI 😆 Im not a bot- honestly!

Interesting to chat with @peredurplaidas.bsky.social this morning about health care in Wales. Personally, I think that building on the progress made already will be important in the coming years. There are good foundations in place, especially #Marmot - reducing health

My 9 year bloggerversary. Thanks to all of you that have contributed to the 10,000+ views my posts have had, for all your shares and comments and for your time reading them. Im very grateful 😁

I wrote this quite a while ago now, but its always good to think about how accessible our language is in research and the barriers that can affect people's confidence to engage with it. "AEs SAEs and who on earth is Susan?" receivingconsent.com/2018/11/16/a...

Cofio Aberfan - 59 years may have passed but we will never forget the 116 children and 28 adults that died. Dyma un o'r dyddiau mwyaf dirdynnol yn ein hanes a newidiodd fywydau di-ri am byth. We will never forget them.

Not that I haven't already got enough to read 🤣 #BreneBrown #NewBook

#Oliverscampaign Today on #WorldMentalHealthDay2025 I will be presenting Oliver's story, the importance of reasonable adjustments & the rollout of his training to MindMapFocus at their conference this morning

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

My latest offering. Talking about the creative process and the role thinking plays for me. I don't have all the answers yet, but I stand very firmly in it's defence! receivingconsent.com/2025/06/21/i...
