Huge congratulations to our Ward Manager, Debbie Sells, who has been shortlisted for Nottinghamshire Healthcare Foundation Trust Oscar under the Leadership category.

She is our Queen 👑

Everyone's origins are important. Dr Margaret Oates OBE shaped our service and it is because of her, our perinatal team, and unit exist. Her ethos and approach still very much under pins all we do.

Today we celebrated our Ward Managers last full time day after 28 years on the ward! Thankfully, she will continue her reign but will be taking more time for herself.

🥂 Here's to our Debbie - best Ward Manager and human!
