When Ethan was younger, he would leave me random written notes everywhere. This one he wrote 3 years ago when he was 10 and it still makes my heart swell. I still have these little treasures in my drawer. #loveyoutooEthan #unicohijo #myboy #lovenotes

77% of NHS staff are women.
Today we salute you for the role you have played in inspiring, shaping and leading it over the last 76 years and for making it the nation’s most loved institution.

On this day at 6.31am in 2020, Maggie Keenan became the first person in the world to receive an approved COVID-19 vaccine.
The vaccine, which has saved countless lives, was administered by NHS nurse May Parsons.
Maggie, who was 90, is a former jewellery shop assistant.

Such a privilege to speak at the @ucu Migrant’s Conference today highlighting the challenges IENs face, esp the lack of recognition of academic qualifications inhibiting us to access HEI L7 courses & ultimately career progression!
Need to push harder!

Lesson 101 as to how much nurse leaders have 'done' to tackle the issue of #Racism
Producing documents & writing tweets makes no difference-bar personal 'achievements' via gongs & titles
And along with @NHSE_WTE -you-ALL- propagate this #racism
Shameful
