The problems:

1. Blame culture
2. System needs over-ride staff well-being
3. Unintended personal costs of upholding values at work

Amazing opportunity to join us on our exciting improvement journey - @ekhuft is a challenging and fantastic place to work #wecare #proudchiefnurse

Big #retirement day today - after 44 years in the NHS, 38 as a registered LD nurse and 25 as a union rep (sentences concurrent) . Not my usual kind of #NewShirt but I made sure my colleagues had a chance to try something different themselves...

Decision to stop access to new users for NHS Practitioner Health has been quickly u-turned.

Engagement with trade unions and professional bodies through any review of staff mental health support is essential.
