I interviewed a children’s nurse academic and surgical first assistant to show some of the different routes children’s nurses can go down! Thank you so much @KatieEAnderson5!

@Francis_Sanday So sad to see

A great resource for any neonatal unit

[Dr Crystal Oldman CBE EdD RN RHV QN FRCN @CrystalOldman]

Today I wrote to our #ExtraordinaryQNs to ask them to read the report by @nazirafzal and Rise Associates on the culture of @nmcnews and to read the @TheQNI letter to @wesstreeting calling for an independent review of the NMC and its regulatory functions. @johnunsworth10

Delighted to see @anneharris_rt recognised in the #birthdayhonourslist Great colleague who generously shared her knowledge and expertise!

[Katrina McNamara @KatMcACT]

They exemplified true friendship, support through the bad times, celebrating the good times. And taught us so much about living each day to the full.

[Harper's Law NI @HarpersLawNI]

While organisations and Unions formally supported Harper’s Law & Assaults the RCN refused to support this campaign. Legislative change is coming. Very proud to effect positive change to protect ESP & NHS personnel. For the RCN - there’s still time yet to back your members!

@alisonleary1 We’ve lost a very special person, a truly inspirational leader.

Such a privilege to present at this excellent conference - the island of Ireland really is leading the way with collaborative working in #ppc. No surprise with such great colleagues leading the way @maryddevins @FionaMcElligott @joannebalfe @j0hnallen85 @HannahLinane et al….

“I have the best job in the world”; “my job is so enjoyable and has been so much fun”; “children’s nursing can be most challenging, but it’s also the most rewarding” all quotes from today’s @ABPN_ChildNurse #OralHistoryProject recordings. Want to share your story?

[Francis @Francis_Sanday]

I find it of great interest that our #politicians will give time for #PhysicianAssistedSuicide but won't fix this issue. For years they have left it to the voluntary sector to fix it. The way we care for our dying says what kind of #society we really are...

[Michael Tatterton @MJTatterton]

Delighted and very proud to share a recently published #research paper by our fabulous #PhD student, Ada Iluno, exploring children’s #PalliativeCare experiences of #families from ethnic minorities. You can read Ada’s paper here: https://t.co/UHcjPBYwbm @melaniec2 @UoB_Nursing

[Francis @Francis_Sanday]

This would support the evidence from all other jurisdictions that have allowed #PhysicianAssistedSuicide or even #Euthanasia I do hope @ScotParl take note

[Katrina McNamara @KatMcACT]

@tobyhporter @hospiceuk @CommonsHealth Thank you! We really need powerful advocacy to ensure our excellent hospice sector can survive to provide much needed care, only yesterday I heard that a friend had been told there were no available beds at their local hospice, no 24/7 support other than hospital care.
