@mariekeemonts @Gilllishman65 @CherylTeasdale The Team have reflected on discussions with clinical staff and explored colour psychology- it was felt that a return to the Specialist Nurse uniform would take us in a positive direction

[NuTH IPCN TEAM @NuthIpcn]

Bob Dylan once sang The Times They Are A- Changin’- well so has the colour of the IPCN Team uniform. Here is Rebecca and Esther wearing our lovely new blue uniforms.
