It’s World Wellbeing Week, which is a global awareness week focused on promoting health and wellbeing in the workplace and wider society. Taking place from 24–30 June 2026. We should always remember this, not just this week but every day 👇 #NHS #JoyinWork #Defrazzle #NHSWorkforce

I was invited as a guest speaker at the Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Professions Conference for North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS FT. What a fabulous day it was! There was so much enthusiasm, learning and reflection in the room. And, they said very nice things about me too.

It’s Loneliness Awareness Week, so today I would like to shine a spotlight on loneliness at work. 👇👇👇

As #StressAwarenessMonth comes to an end, I want to share one final message: in the NHS, stress is often accepted as simply part of the job, but it shouldn’t be. Here’s why 👇 #BeTheChange

Friday thought...

Considerable research tells us that positive self-talk is good. It boosts motivation, resilience, and performance by reframing challenges as growth opportunities and fostering a supportive inner dialogue. All true. But when does it go too far? 👇️ 👇️ 👇️

Do you overthink too much? 🤔 Maybe it’s time to turn it into a superpower! 👇
