Living with #LongCovid + caring for patients? @shh-uk.bsky.social runs free peer support groups. 🗓️ On Thursday 1st October at 7pm, I'll be sharing short, practical nervous-system regulating tools to fit into a busy clinical day. 📧 To get your joining link, email supportgroup@ssh-uk.org #MedSky
A deep blue banner reads "Long Covid Support Groups for Healthcare Workers." Large serif text in navy and gold says "As a healthcare worker you don't have to face Long COVID alone." Details below: 1st October 2026, 7:00 pm. "We'll explore regulating strategies for busy healthcare workers with Long COVID." A gold label names Sheren Gaulbert as Guest Speaker. To join, email supportgroup@ssh-uk.org. In the bottom right corner, framed by a gold circular border, Sheren, a South Indian woman with shoulder-length blonde and brown curly hair, smiles warmly at the camera, wearing large amber earrings.
Logos for Supporting Healthcare Heroes UK and Sheren dot Health are shown at the top.

"I don't know but I'll find out and get back to you" doesn't make you look less capable. It demonstrates • Honesty • Self-awareness • Grounded confidence Sometimes a patient's question may be beyond your scope. Being honest about what you know serves both of you better. #MedSky #ImposterSyndrome

1 in 5 Americans depend on Medicaid for health insurance, but they don't all know they're on it because it may go by another name (e.g., Medi-Cal, Apple, BadgerCare). I identified the name of each state's Medicaid program. If you or someone you love is in one of these programs, call 202-224-3121.
