Up early to talk news with @Kevin_Maguire on @GMB but thanks to a great investigation on ‘corridor care’ by @itvnews, I got to share my Mum’s recent hospital challenges with @susannareid100 and @edballs

It’s been almost two whole years since this got started. Thanks @kaitborsay

Thanks for so many good wishes. My mum is home from hospital after a fourth stay in 3 months. We have had a shocker in terms of the NHS but the discharge experience on the last this week is probably the worst I have ever seen. I have been left navigating fours sets of discharge notes with different medications, some replaced (not clearly stated) and handwritten bits. The GP does not even have a copy so I am left hoping I do not kill her by getting something wrong. This is the NHS and its inefficiencies in plain site and the reality of life as a Carent who has to try and balance a job and the huge weight of responsibility for a loved one with no training or support. Big love to others out there in the same boat. I have been doing it for over 25 years and i swear it is getting harder.
A day of two halves! Morning on @SkyNews talking about the issues facing the country - all smiles! Afternoon in an ambulance with my mother who has had MS for over fifty years and has been in and out of hospital since August - worry, concern and all-round fatigue from trying to navigate it all. She fainted twice at lunchtime so now undergoing more tests.View quoted post on X
Well done Fraser, it was a great show and I was grateful to be part of it. It was clear you’d done your research in advance.
I guest-presented Sky's Sunday Morning slot - and had a taste for what political-debate presenters have to deal with.View quoted post on X
Some thoughts, in my notebook:-
