We’re walking the distance of Donny to Berlin AND BACK! When it’s cold, wet and grey! 🥶🍁
Here is Michaela’s story👇

What OCD is not:
- being tidy
- cool
- a personality trait
- a ‘quirk’
- being clean
- liking order
What OCD is:
a dehabilitating condition which consumes a person’s mind and life through persistent, frightening intrusive thoughts and repetitive compulsions

Officially signed off as a band 6 and passed my driving test over the past few weeks! Makes up for 2 weeks of suffering post- tooth surgery! 🥳
Do any SLTs know of any resources that have swallowing exercises in different languages that they use within their trust please? Particularly Polish but all languages would be useful!! Thanks ☺️
Very nice (but surreal!) experience going back to LBU & delivering a lecture about online post-laryngectomy communication methods to SLT students on this rainy January morning! They were all lovely and made me feel very welcome! Thank you @DrAnneHurren for inviting me 😊
✅ NQP competencies finished (no longer newly qualified!)
✅ Band 6 development competencies underway
✅ Ethics essay passed & dysphagia course complete! (No more essays pls!)
November has been a successful month, I would say! 😮💨

We have some truly heart-breaking news to bring you today as we mark the passing of our beloved colleague, Kay.
At just 17 years of age, Kay Murgatroyd was diagnosed with anaplastic lymphoma kinase positive lung cancer.
Throughout her battle with this illness, Kay displayed an unwavering strength and an indomitable spirit. While undergoing treatment, she pursued her dreams, attending college and ultimately venturing to Sheffield Hallam University becoming a student nurse.
The calling to contribute something back to the NHS, after the care she had received, burned brightly within her and, in 2021, Kay emerged as a qualified Registered Nurse and joined the ranks of S10 at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, where she found inspiration to make a difference to the lives of others - which she subsequently achieved day after day.
Though Kay's time on this earth was brief, sadly spanning just 24 years, she left an indelible impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her. She faced her own mortality with bravery and embraced life with an unyielding passion, cherishing every moment and filling the world around her with love and compassion.
Kay's too-soon departure leaves an ache in our souls, a void that can never be fully filled. But let us also celebrate her life, her resilience, and the legacy she leaves behind. Let her memory serve as a reminder to us all that life is a precious gift, and it is up to us to make the most of every moment we are given.
To Kay's friends, family and loved ones, we share our deepest condolences. We also share our thanks for sharing Kay with us. May she rest in peace.
