Busy clinical day 👩🏽⚕️🩺
Alongside that was the real privilege to meet some lovely patients, who allowed me an insight into their lives and their worries.
I try to think about how I would feel if I was in their shoes, or someone I loved - that’s what medicine should be about.
Stories help us to escape the everyday, to take a break from worries and problems, to feel and empathise, to laugh and to imagine.
Cinema is amazing - a shared experience and sense of belonging.
Lucky to watch @projecthailmary at one of my favourite places @Everymancinema

This month’s @psychologiesmagazine is here!
And I’ve contributed my thoughts about the surprising science and impact of delight on our wellbeing and health.
You may not think those short, fleeting glimmers of feeling genuinely lit up, make a difference - but they do!
Today is the first ever @unitednations Wellness Day 🌎
A chance to stop and reflect on what keeps you well, what habits make you feel good, and what in life really matters.
What does wellness mean to you?

Clinical day 👩🏻⚕️🩺
One of the highlights for me being doctor is learning about someone’s story.
We all have similar feelings, thoughts and diagnoses; but the person behind those is an individual who needs to be heard, seen and valued.
Choose differently and things can be different.
Getting outdoors in any natural green space can
- improves our physical strength and flexibility
- reduces anxiety and stress, improves self-esteem
- boosts our vitamin D levels and resets sleep cycles
- improves our immune response
- positively impact our cognitive function
Celebrating #nationalgardeningday today! 🌱🪻🌳
I’m not a natural gardener, and I certainly don’t know what I’m really doing - but that doesn’t matter! No outcome attached, just a chance to see how much better you feel after.
I wrote ‘Know Your Own Power’ out of a desire to support everyone going through tough times, life changes or feeling lost. 📖💫
Hope it may help you or someone you know with whatever you’re facing x

So grateful to @MindfulChefUK for sending me one of their amazing meal boxes
Cooking is amazing for mental wellbeing, enabling creativity, engaging our senses, and building confidence. As well as the joy it brings sharing, connecting and eating with those you love too.
It’s spring! ☀️⛅️🌦️🌧️
Our bodies and brains respond to the season changing; our skin, our mood, how we sleep and our energy levels are affected.
Join me and lovely @LaurenLayfield @ShanequaParis @BBCSounds for @BBCR1 Life Hacks today 5-6pm for your Spring Wellbeing Check Up!
With spring in the air you’re probably feeling a lot brighter. But if you have hay fever you may not be feeling quite so breezy.

Great to be back @bbc NBH today to record a very special episode @bbcwomanshour airing Easter Monday 10-11am @bbcsounds 🎙️
Thanks to the whole production team @bbcwomanshour @bbcradio4 🙌
I don’t often get the time to get creative in the kitchen but when I do, I feel so much better. Science tells us baking can help us reduce our cortisol levels, improves mindfulness through using our senses and connection to others in sharing whatever we make. So, why not try something yourself?
A perfect grey Sunday morning for a bit of baking - a nice treat of homemade scones, cream and jam.
Thanks to @britishbakeoff and @damemaryberry for the recipe 👩🏽🍳
But the really important question is, did I get the cream and jam the right way round?!
With clocks having gone forward overnight, spring has properly arrived ⏱️ 🪴 🌸
