Thanks John for taking time to walk around with me. And if anybody is interested in joining me, please DM me or @Bradford_St_Bhm for details of litter picks in the Digbeth area. 🥰
Huge online admiration for @x_brum and his litter crusade, so I popped to Digbeth to make a BBC film with him.

Great to fit in some campaigning for @SarahCoombesWB on my brief trip home! Lots of people on the doorstep are eager for change and for Sarah as their MP. Now to cool down from the heat!

Support the Labour Party? Are a hard worker? Fancy making a big difference in the West Mids? Then consider applying to these positions. One will be working hard in West Brom to help elect Sarah Coombes! No political background required. Reach out to Sarah for more details!

Black Country friends and former colleagues who are members of the Labour Party - definitely give this a watch. Sarah will make an amazing MP for WBE and will give the constituency the representation it needs and deserves in Parliament. I’m with you Sarah 🌹

Kirith will make an outstanding MP for Bolton North. She’s fiercely proud of the town she lives in and has the warmth and determination to make a real difference to people’s lives. Cannot wait to see how this campaign progresses.
Bolton North East needs an MP who speaks up for us and fights for the things that matter to our town. I’ll build a united team to take on the Tories and deliver a brighter future for the community I’m proud to be a part of. Join the team 👇 https://t.co/UWO7l1TpzD

“Who on earth wants to walk around Birmingham on a rainy Saturday morning!?” Turns out loads of people did! I’m forever proud. Big up 0121. In the words of Ozzy: Birmingham Forever
After a wonderful 6 years, it is time for us to say goodbye to Real Birmingham. With us both now living abroad, it is the end of an era! Thanks so much to every single one of you that has walked the streets of our beloved Brum with us! That’s a wrap! @Ankcorn @RubyHarriette

Such a star and a modest one at that! The first Ward Manager I ever worked with and completely committed to maintaining patients mobility. Congrats Emily
Huge congratulations to Emily Prentice, Frailty Ward Manager, for being presented a @ReconGamesUK gold medal by @BrianwDolan. Emily is extremely dedicated to #EndPJparalysis by implementing a number of initiatives on her ward to get patients up, dressed & moving. Well done Emily!

It’s also an end to working and living in the West Midlands as I’m relocating to Canada. Adventure awaits! Expect a few more pictures on this account of mountains, lakes and bears. See you later Brum, I’ve got a plane to catch!

virtual wards, rarely ever outlying, never bording, abolishing medically fit wards, digital transformation in Care Flow Connect and Patient Flow and improving SDEC services. I’ll never forget how we pulled together during Covid and supported each other during uncertain times.

Personal & professional news! After three brilliant years I’m leaving Walsall Healthcare Trust. It’s been the most rewarding professional experience of my life and I’m going to miss @teamMLTC in a big way. I’m so proud of all we achieved: resilient ambulance handover times,
