           The Wave Programme is intense, it’s hard work, it’s investigating multiple ideas a week and maybe only taking forward one but this week has been great seeing colleagues in Audiology and HCOP enjoying change and taking real groundbreaking patient improvements forward. Success 👍🏻

             My son’s girlfriend has just completed her nursing degree and only 6 of the 300 who are in her position have found a full time job as no vacancies out there. Bonkers

             Happy June everyone. If there’s 1 thing that sliding doors moments do to you, it strengthens even more the need to appreciate the simple things in life. Wishing everyone a great month ahead, be good & be happy ❤️🐇

             What the King says below. An amazing day of togetherness in the city followed by this horrendous act. We were the very lucky ones just a few minutes ahead but thoughts, prayers and love go out to everyone. YNWA ❤️

             Men. Time for us to feed into something which will hopefully be positive moving forward. We know we don’t like bothering the GP until it’s too late with ‘it’ll be right’ or don’t like to talk about ‘soft’ stuff that actually matters and saves lives. Go for your life’s, literally

             You’re never too old to try a new sport! A year after playing pickleball for the 1st time & then starting a small but perfectly formed club, we’ve entered 2 tournaments in last 2 weeks in Warwick & Leeds & medals galore & we’re 2 outta 2 in the male doubles 😉🥇🏆
