😳 30 years ago today my journey as a student nurse begun, the best place in the world to train.. inspired by so many nurse leaders along the way. Really could not have chosen a better career #Nursing #bestjobintheworld

Almost 5 years ago, my amazing outpatients department closed down due to Covid to become the children’s ward. An amazing friend rallied around lots of people to donate amazing pictures. Finally, they are up in Opd.@NHSHomerton @HomertonHope
