Have you read 'The Story of a Heart' yet? A must read for anyone inspired by #OrganDonation. The beautifully told story of Keira and Max - the young heart donor and recipient who inspired Max and Keira's Law. I will never forget my first read of the manuscript for @doctoroxford.bsky.social 🎄💗

Christmas shoutout to our amazing #NHS - this week our family has used our NHS dentist, GP (twice), local pharmacy & local A&E - all handled extremely quickly & competently. Our NHS takes a lot of flak so keen to highlight the positives too 💙🌟 #WinterPressures

That special feeling when you see ‘your’ ad when you’re out and about! 🥳

That's a great shot! 🙌

All possible because of NHS Organ Donation and the amazing gift of life. @nhsorgandonor.bsky.social

Mum given 65 blood bags to save her life - BBC News Adele was losing so much blood she needed the equivalent of three people's worth.

Mum of 5 - whose husband was told to prepare she might die - saved by blood from 65 donors. Wonderful to see Adele celebrating #Christmas thanks to the life-saving gift of #BloodDonation - can you help us boost stocks this Christmas? 🩸🌟

Who has got the best NHS Christmas tree? Hospital, ward, surgery, clinic - open to everyone. Feels like there should be a national competition… #NHSXmastrees

#NHScomms also means wishing you'd said 'looking for something to eat soup from a particularly tall flask' rather than suggesting she was also eating the flask itself. And on that note, goodnight dear BlueSky 😅🤦‍♀️

A colleague found a (very small) teaspoon today.. it would have been a moment of triumph, if she hadn't been looking for something to eat a particularly tall flask of hot soup. I told her to be grateful it wasn't a fork 🤣 #NHSLife

Fantastic to see #nursing excellence within blood and bleeding disorders recognised and celebrated on #BBCBreakfast! Well done Cathy, @claudiablake.bsky.social & team🩸🙌 #NHSComms #MedSky
