A year later than planned and without a team finally managed to do Tough Mudder. A year ago I could barely walk and thought my running days might be over after struggling with recurring injuries. Now I feel healthy again and am so grateful for that #ToughMudder

Today, I had the honour of sharing some of my personal journey at the @WeAreLSCFT Learning Disability and Autism conference. I was humbled to follow inspiring and knowledgeable presenters and to connect with colleagues old and new on their personal and professional journeys 🌈
Out-of-office is officially on. Proud to have been a part of this team over the last 3 months and looking forward to the future, but ready for a rest and reset!

Come and work with me! We are looking for a passionate and innovative Clinical Lead to join our welcoming and dedicated Home Based Treatment Team. lscft.nhs.uk/vacancies#!/job…
It's been a good day: facilitating my first supervision sessions and appraisal conversations with new team members and getting to know them better, and coming home to a kind message from @ChrisOliverNHS. Very much appreciated, thank you.

This Neurodiversity Celebration Week meet Ross.
Three years ago he received an autism diagnosis at the age of 30.
Ross is a Clinical Lead in our Home Based Treatment Team after recently being promoted. Read his story on our website bit.ly/3wOTZ2h #ThisIsND @NCWeek

What an emotional day! Saying goodbye to my CMHT home-from-home and closing another happy career chapter. Blessed to have met and learned from so many wonderful professionals and friends along the way and looking forward to new beginnings 🌟

Always good to get the blues back on for an inpatient day (not too keen on this time of day though!)
