Return to #talesfromclinic - just seen man who had no finger/thumb extension at 10 months post-stroke, but at 16 months he has the start of quite nice hand opening. It doesn’t always seem to happen in first 12 weeks. So what’s the mechanism of this? #strokerecovery

Today @DavidGilbert43 re-lived his time as a mental health inpatient, he read poems, he told stories and he made lots of new friends.
Listen to @MarkOneinFour speaking to him at the end of the day at #MindStateSociety A fascinating interview!

I believe kindness is a critical leadership quality. Kindness is power and a real strength I’ve seen time and time again in the best leaders I’ve worked with. Thankfully, this research backs this up too... @aimiechapple @NaomiKerbel @lynne_doherty @ZahraS_B #kindness #leadership – at Lambeth, London
#Leadwithkindness Our newly released research in partnership with @hallandpartners @oxfordsbs reveals that kind leaders develop their team by encouraging new ideas and ways of working.
RT and let us know in the comments how you encourage new ideas within your team? #leadership

Excited that (of all papers!) @DailyMailUK will carry a feature about the book this week or next. And focus on the incredible stories of @mjseres and @RecoveryGuru - not my fave media outlet for sure, but any publicity will do #mediatart

Thanks for the 'Dear Friend' letter. Glad I'm not the only one who finds patient advocacy an uphill battle on top of being already ill.
