"I've always wanted to be a nurse."

Kim was in the year group whose A-Levels were cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic.

She's now a healthcare support worker in cardiology and next month begins her nursing apprenticeship with us, funded by the NHS.

Long acting Covid antibody treatment Evusheld will not be available on NHS after Dept of Health says there’s insufficient data on how long it protects against Omicron. NICE has been asked to review Evusheld but decision not due til April 2023. Evusheld sold in over 30 countries

@BBCFergusWalsh Thank you for your support in raising the profile of this story. 500,000 immunocompromised people desperately need this drug, to start living their lives again. Is this a measure of what this country has become, that we throw the most vulnerable to the wolves.

This is me on our first vaccination clinic- happily vaccinated and vaccinating my dear colleague. It was day that I will remember as a stand out in my 33 year career to date. I feel so privileged to have had 3 doses of a vaccine so that I can protect myself and others!
