5 yrs ago I was sexually harassed+assaulted while working as a nurse in the #NHS . It was covered up+the perpetrator was promoted. I had to protest outside Parliament to get an independent investigation. It’s been torture. Over the next 3 weeks my case may conclude. Watch me

The biggest risk to patient safety is a system of NHS managers regulators and unions who cover up risk, enable harm and persecute healthcare professionals and patients who speak up @Jeremy_Hunt @MattHancock #WorldPatientSafetyDay

I have two gift bags stuffed with chocolate on the chair near my bed. I can’t reach them. Colleagues is this a legitimate reason to use the nurse call buzzer?

Amazingly, working in the #NHS has been the loneliest place in my dark days over the past 4 1/2 years. I’ve had such limited emotional support from the place it should be in adundance. @Twitter has been full of love and kindness. It’s been my lifeline #OurNHSPeople #BeKind

I was a nurse. Triply qualified. Whistleblew in the public interest following sexual harassment by a colleague. I’ve lost my registration. He’s still able to work with the public. Didn’t deserve to loose my registration ⁦ @nmcnews ⁩ ⁦ @theRCN ⁩ ⁦ @Crouchendtiger7 ⁩
