Being the medical secretary /PA to a consultant takes a lot of dedication , skill , compassion , kindness I’m really going to miss Sheenagh , colleague , friend ,confidant for 20 years. Thankyou for all your support and loyalty 🙏 shout out to all med secs everywhere
@drvictoriamj It’s something called medicbleep which has replaced the physical bleeps at our trust. It’s an app basically - good points and bad points with it as always!
@RoshanaMN All fine thanks! 100% cannula success rate! My snack game was off last night as I didn’t bring anything 🤦♂️- had to raid the office biscuit tin for a Tunnocks Caramel
This year for #NCW2023, we have asked some BOA members to write a letter to their younger selves. Here’s Kate Spacey, Consultant surgeon, emphasising the importance of networking, mentorship and work-life balance. https://t.co/gPkjoUBKn4 @Pod_in_heels
