The 1995 genocide in Srebrenica is a reminder of the grave consequences of hate speech, discrimination, targeting groups, violence.
We must uphold lessons from those events to prevent genocide today. In memory of the victims, in solidarity with the survivors. #RememberSrebrenica

What does a Non-Executive Board Member do?
They help shape healthcare - providing independent oversight, fresh perspectives, and representing the public while championing transparency and patient voice.
No healthcare background needed.

Privileged to attend the @Unison_GHB @NHSGrampian Health Branch AGM to hear about work like this supporting, celebrating & advising staff. A great opportunity to listen to views & experiences. A clear message too about #TeamGrampian & the contribution of staff to our improvement
Representatives from Unison visited staff at Ward 216 yesterday as part of International Women's Day. The ward was nominated for the visit in recognition of their hard work and dedication over recent weeks.
