Thank you Karen for sharing your beautiful painting with us. It has been so appreciated by all our nursing community who today received your sunflower print as a card. Uplifting, inclusive & positive!.
“When faced with a challenge, remember the sunflower - standing tall, facing the sun and leaning on each other for support. Together, weathering any storm - that's the power of teamwork.". This #IND2024, deputy sister Karen shares how her nursing experience inspired her artwork.

I wouldn’t typically post from the Stylist magazine, but this is rather good! Perhaps the answer isn’t always an email in the NHS, but we could get better at focused, pomodoro style meetings…?

Have just reviewed the table of contents…genuinely looks a compelling read and with 47 chapters quite a tome to offset the price tag maybe!? @martinlipscomb.
Published - and in a few days, available to buy (lottery winners only). Bar the price, every library needs one . maybe several?

On #IND2021 I reflect on my pride being part of the @UCLH nursing community. Also, my appreciation for cardiac ITU @StGeorgesTrust. It’s 6 months today since my father died in their care. The nurses exemplified what it means to facilitate a good death. #DMAW21 #InAGoodPlace

Virtual wards have been up and running in cancer to deliver on-time treatment via ‘ambulatory care’ @uclh since around 2003. An opportunity to expedite this pathway for other specialties post Covid as we learn the NHS waiting list could reach 10 million

Saddened to just open an email titled “free wine and mince pies” from the RCN inviting members to their annual carol service. What does this say about their understanding of the values and motivations of nurses??.

Thank you for your support following the NIHR film posting. I’m coming to know how working with, and using my nursing disciplinary knowledge can anchor and inform my research training. It brings an authenticity I had previously overlooked.
