A tricky volunteer shift today but overwhelmingly made better by taking a long stay patient to the garden.

We shared our love of big band music, I told him about my saxophone, and we listened to the BBC big band on my Spotify.

It was quite perfect 🥰

Happy Friday all....

Only 13.5% of cases reviewed in the @ncepod.bsky.social rehabilitation report were rated as good care.

Oof.

Her biggest lesson for the critical care community?

“Look beyond the patient”

Think about their support networks, their environment…

The things that make their life worth living.

Satisfaction with the #NHS is at a record low. 📉

Our analysis with @thekingsfund.bsky.social shows people want the NHS to do what it says on the tin: health care free at the point of use, available to all and without having to wait unacceptably long to get it.

How exciting!

Louise Gallie @rehablegendlou.bsky.social · Apr 16

Today I shadowed a lovely member of our #ICU #Psychology team

It was great to see how well supported some of our most vulnerable patients are & reassuring to discover that I'm saying the right things to patients I see!

Looking forward to learning more 👊

Thank you, that means a lot.

I have seen the Delirium guidance, and it's great. I'm going to be referencing it in my upcoming presentations 👊

"The impact of Delirium was massive and continues to be an almost constant piece of baggage in my life"

As #WDAD2025 comes to an end, I share with you a blog post that I hope touches on this year's theme of raising awareness...

Keep banging the drum 😉
