I recently saw the brilliant neurosciences dept at Middlesbrough's James Cook Hospital. But it only has 18 rehab beds when the guidelines say it needs 80 beds. I asked the PM for the resources to develop a world-class new rehabilitation centre to serve Tees Valley. #PMQs

Some things are worth celebrating. My 2024 ‘perfect’ sourdough. Never to be recreated? Can’t wait to taste it now!!

Revived my current sourdough starter (affectionately called Ambrosia) for some Christmas baking. She is aggressively powerful and I don’t know how to temper the bloom 🥲

With assisted dying dominating the news, please take a moment to consider your own wishes around the end of life. It's surprisingly quick & easy to plan ahead. This guide from @hospiceuk.bsky.social covers advance care plans, powers of attorney etc. So useful. www.hospiceuk.org/information-...

Planning ahead
Planning things like what type of funeral you want and who to leave your belongings to can make your final days easier, giving you more time with family and friends.

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size. At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

My first post! Our current Social Communication Group cohort have decided to organise a charity quiz to raise money for HeadwayTyneside. We would LOVE to have a huge turnout to support both them and such a great cause. We have a date and venue so block it out in your calendars! More details to come.

I really don’t understand this whole ‘stay on Twitter and fight’ thing. You’re jousting with bots and reply guys and wading through ads it’s not Waterloo.

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

I’ve started a starter pack that I will continue to expand that I hope represents the UK #neurorehabilitation community. I am looking for collaborators to update this who might not represent my position - a white, male, ‘professional expert’. Ideally experts by experience. go.bsky.app/GuSZ8Pn

Thanks to @cliodhnacarroll.bsky.social for the little nudge to try this network. Excited to see if it takes me back to heady days of original Twitter and the excellent network that existed there.
