How did a hardworking nurse, Gerry, become a top social media influencer in the NHS?



Many of us take, of course, Top 10s with a pinch of salt!

Many of us have had chatted with Gerry about the NHS.

Gerry’s Twitter account is @archangelolill.

Gerry’s profile is self explanatory.

As a hardworking frontline nurse, Gerry’s views are very interesting.

One of the onrunning themes in this unique Twitter thread is how unfair it is for hardworking nurses, who don’t even get time to make a cup of tea as a break, get harpooned in the political discourse.

While people who have no clinical training, but have a management background, offer “advice” on compassion – and sell their ‘knowledge’ to the NHS – nurses like Gerry end up picking the pieces.

Gerry has often spoken about being demoralised through well rehearsed NHS scandals, which were very difficult for the nursing profession to cope with.

The hurt is that £20bn ‘efficiency savings’ are currently being delivered across all the main political parties. None of these ‘savings’ have been pumped back into frontline care, it is widely reported.

And many of these savings have been achieved by making draconian staff cuts, while balancing the budgets to negotiate crippling PFI loan repayments.

Now it turns out that Gerry is having the last laugh, in the face of her views about protecting the NHS which many find passionate.

Sometimes Gerry has been difficult to argue with, on grounds of the feelings whipped up, but Gerry freely admits this and means no offence at all it appears.

Gerry has recently come very high up in an impact poll published recently.

And guess who came last!
