Reflecting on a fabulous day yesterday - taking part in @FNightingaleF#FNFStudents Day was a real privilege.
Some great ideas and insights shared across the room & a wonderful key note speach @CuriousBecks Bonus to catch up with old friends and making new connections 💚
'Identify one older person you support. Take time to understand their needs and work with them to find meaningful social connection' @PimmEmily outlines how nurses' small actions can have a big impact when tackling loneliness #InternationalNursesDay https://t.co/xlfXBNvxt0
What a way to celebrate #InternationalNursesDay by being on a panel at #FNFStudentsDay Excited to feel inspired by the next generation of nurses!Then a year after having the honour of carrying the lamp at the FNF Commemoration Service-i'm returning to celebrate all things nurses!
An amazing way to celebrate #InternationalNursesDay2025 yesterday by returning to Westminster Abbey for @FNightingaleF 60th Commemoration Service - a fantastic celebration of nurses, and an opportunity to connect with old friends and new 💚

On #InternationalNursesDay2025 it's great news @DHSCgovuk has announced the title 'nurse' will be protected in law: reassurance for the public & #socialcare nurses that only those legally permitted to use the title can do so. Read my blog for more updates: https://t.co/BlSo281wW1
I attended two events this week that spoke about the power of language. Have a think...🤔
Instead of recruitment & retention - move to retention & recruitment. Instead of health & social care - move to social care & health. Both more focused on prevention, more proactive terms...
@sujeffreys Enjoy Su! You will be great. Remember @RADA_London 'Breathe' - although @westwood_greta reminded me to not blow out the lamp doing this last year! Would be great to connect after the service 😊
As a proud career #carehome#nurse of 23 yrs this made me 🥹. We often hear that nurses 'save lives' but saving a life is about more than restarting a heart, it's about maintaining someone's heart in their life. There's still #stigma about care home nursing - let's bust the myths
* Ideas around accessing prescribing budgets/indemnity insurance.
Some inspiring and valuable discussion, ensuring that social care remains a vit and equal partner in the room!
Prof Claire Pryor led world cafe discussion on non-medical prescribing at @SalfordUni where key partners listened to challenges/solutions of those who have completed/embedded NMP in their services, followed by identifying collaborative priorities to lead upcoming research.
