A nice little treat after a full-on week! Prioritising self-care and well-being can be tricky but necessary- to avoid burnout and maintain good quality of care. #MySLTDay.
After a tough week, it’s nice to stop for a tiny spot of pizza 🍕 lunch with the wonderful @SltWxh and make the most of the @WhippsCrossHosp well-being hub. Happy Friday !
