Join Christie Watson and Caroline Elton as they discuss the NHS, share their views of life behind the scenes and what it is like for the teams that look after us in hospitals.

Doctors and nurses are the people we turn to when we fall ill and who look after us. They are the people we trust with our lives, and with the lives of those we love. But what is it like from their side?

Christie Watson was a nurse for twenty years. Taking us from birth to death and from A&E to the mortuary, The Language of Kindness is an astonishing account of a profession defined by acts of care, compassion and kindness.

  Something smells fishy here. Two separate people, multiple purchase, each time saying chicken was off. If that's the case Environmental Health would be all over the shop like ants swarming a carcass. Can't quite put my finger on what's really going on here 🤔

  If anyone has a Nectar card and shops at Dog Kennel Hill it will learn what you buy. I regularly get Nectar prices/offers on things I buy to donate to the Albrighton. The donation I plan to take round next week contains toothpaste that was on offer at a Nectar price. Tins of tomatoes, pasta and cereal have also come up in the past. Put the item in your trolley and drop it in the donation box on the way out. Multi use offer buy some every day, take it home then donate a few.

  I am faintly amused by the cries of horror when the overtly political actions of Southwark Council Labour (their car hatred does after all form part of their manifesto) is countered by what might possibly be political action of others (although there is some evidence to support it being a groundswell of purely local and not party-affiliated activity). Who is behind Southwark Labour party one might ask - is it Militant Trotskyites? From where are they being funded? The Kremlin, Beijing?
