Excited for my next chapter, very happy to have passed the first part of my v300 non medical prescribing x hard work paid off, with help from my amazing DMP.
We're absolutely delighted to announce that St Giles Hospice has received an 'outstanding' rating from the @CareQualityComm. We know that our staff and volunteers strive to deliver outstanding care every day, but to have this recognised by the CQC is truly wonderful! 🧡

All the best Jayne, enjoy some “you” time, you certainly deserve it
Star of ITV Series, Superhospital, retires from the Royal Derby Hospital after 45 years of service. Today, Jayne Tomlinson works her final shift as a Sister on Ward 304. Take a look back at her time on Superhospital on the clips below. Good Luck Jayne!
Hosted a dozen or so health and social care students at the hospice today from @southstaffs, then shared my personal story of caring for Mel with our medical students and rounded the day off with a "We do more than you think" presentation to Yoxall Patient Participation Group!
