#WeEatWell19 was an initiative inspired by the twitter @WeCommunities #WeActiveChallenge held each August.  In that challenge tribes of UK based health professions compete against each other to win the #WeActiveChallenge. There is always fierce rivalry between the two leading teams @WeNurses, a team made up of nurses and their supporters and @WeAHPs , a team made up of allied health professionals and their supporters.  The #WeActiveChallenge combines the serious matter of encouraging health professionals to get fitter with light hearted twitter banter and encouragement.

AdsFoundation staff including #CharlieDog always join in the #WeActiveChallenge as honorary members of Team @WeNurses. Come the long nights of November we missed the fun of the annual #WeActiveChallenge and noticed others commented they did too.

AdsFoundation exists to promote health and care staff well-being as an important step in ensuring patient well-being and safety.  #WeEatWell19 was born (prior to the establishment of AdsFoundation by Adam’s mum Dr. Zoe) as an event to promote health and care staff well-being, both through promoting healthy eating and friendly camaraderie on twitter.

#WeEatWell19 ran from 1st to 30th November 2019. Twitter users were encouraged to post pictures of their health eating using #WeEatWell19.  Each evening the number of pictures posted by each tweeter was counted and a league table published.

At the end of November a basket of healthy treats was gifted to the individual who posted the most photographs with the # throughout the whole month.

The #WeEatWell19 winner was @warnetony who kindly asked us to donate his prize to a local food bank.
