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.

Love this page. I wish Amy Edmondson was here on BlueSky! It’s not only being willing to learn, but brave enough to fail many times in pursuit of that learning 🙌🏻
Trust that you know enough to get started and that you will learn the rest along the way—just like you’ve done hundreds and hundreds of times in the past.
I’m in very cold Doncaster for work today. Lovely walk with a good podcast. I always appreciate these opportunities for a slower start.
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.
Its great to see the community growing here! I have created a #neuropsychology starter pack so we can get together more easily - please share and let me know if you'd like added in :) go.bsky.app/VV4ZhEx

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.
So glad @helenbevan.bsky.social is here!

Very cool visualiser for just how bustling this network is
I made a thing! I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃 Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something
Just resharing this starter pack for those just joining!
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
