Everyone knows Labour are going to win the election, but if you’re feeling like there’s no point in voting as the outcome is a foregone conclusion, I’d like to draw your attention to something really radical that is on offer tomorrow: 1/8
Day 3 of #RCN24 in Newport, Wales. I’m looking forward to hearing the Report of @theRCN Council, voting in more debates as a representative of the @CYPACF, and listening to a keynote speech by @gareththomas14 🏴
Delighted to be a voting member of the @CYPACF this year at @theRCN Congress in Newport, Wales. I’m excited to make new friends and be part of the changes in the nursing union I am so proud to represent 🤍

To even be considered to apply for a Parliamentary Labour Party position, you need at least 12 months of membership in the party. Why is this not the case for these defecting Tory MPs?
Make healthcare degrees free again and provide a bursary for those students at university. If you want to encourage 18 year olds to support the country’s national interest, start by taking steps to make healthcare an attractive career again
Today I am creating a presentation to outline the benefits to employers who support their employees with armed forces reserves service. Enhanced skills, improved performance, employer recognition, strategic advantages, and valuable resources are a few from my exhaustive list.
I was fortunate enough to meet Dame Liz at university, and she is a remarkable woman with a fantastic sense of humour. Her generous bursary, which is given to a nursing student to advance their education, contributed to my project in Auckland. I’ll always remember her. #Legacy🕊️
We are saddened to learn of the death of Dame Elizabeth Fradd, an inspirational nurse leader.
During her career, Dame Liz was a children’s nurse, health visitor and a deputy chief nursing officer for England.
Here is one of her articles for RCNi https://t.co/DWu1j3kPg7
I was recently asked about my leadership weaknesses, and the steps I have taken to overcome these. On the spot, this is a tricky question to answer; but utilising the importance of reflection allows us the time to gather our thoughts. So, here’s mine: 🧵
Of course, I wish I’d have been able to articulate all of this on the spot; but being kind to yourself, taking a moment to reflect on the significant personal development effort you have invested, and practicing how to articulate your achievements will get you there eventually.
