Joined November 2011
On the #NHSBirthday, I'm reminded not only of how proud I am to play a small role in supporting patients and staff, but also of how truly grateful I am to my @Team_ESNEFT colleagues who safely delivered my daughter 6 months ago, blessing me with a new role... Mama 💙 #NHS75

This was an emotional interview, but what a story 😊 Thanks to Ginny for being so open, honest and an all round star 💙 #NHSComms #AHPsDay
When Ginny withdrew from her degree when she was pregnant with her second baby, she thought 'that was it'. But undeterred and inspired by her colleagues, she's about to start an apprenticeship to become an occupational therapist 👏 More: https://t.co/zAnMnbGJuT

It's been a while, years in fact, but more open visiting is back 💙
More open visiting is back in all our hospitals to support patients and their families. People no longer need to book visiting slots and visiting hours have been extended. All the details about the changes to our visiting policy are on our website⬇️ https://t.co/xJtX3MOkfM

some good news is that it looks as if hospital admissions for this wave might have peaked in England, at just below the previous two peaks (similar to what Portugal saw in its peak last month).

4 years ago today was my first day in the NHS. I walked into #ColchesterHospital leaving the world of journalism behind. The move from newspapers to the so-called "dark side" has been my brightest yet. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else! I 💙 my @Team_ESNEFT family and #NHSComms

Sometimes, things just come together. Really proud of this little film and our Estates and Facilities teams 💙 Shout out to my wingman behind the camera too @JamieNiblock 🎬 #NHSComms
Our Estates and Facilities teams do so much valuable work many people may never see 🔌🔨🏗️🏥🌷🧹🧼 We couldn't care for patients or keep our hospitals running without them. Today, on healthcare Estates and Facilities Day, we're celebrating their great work 👇🎬 #HealthEFMDay

🧵THREAD: a new wave has started in England (and likely about to or has in rest of UK) TLDR: this will be 3rd wave within 6 months. Long covid an increasing issue - particularly in overexposed professions. We don't need a UK ventilator challenge we need a ventilation one! 1/xx
