A lot of love for the session on "from self doubt to self belief" with @CJRollings16 and @cherylmckay1968 . Wonderful session, really did hit home personally around the inner critic. Ending with a meditation session ✨️

Great & very passionate talk from @WisniackiFiona with the underlying message of listening to our patients and keeping their preferences at the heart of care/treatment.
