@KensingtonRoyal @Rob7Burrow @LeedsHospitals Thank you for this 🎉

Opening the Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease in Leeds. Named after the late Rob Burrow CBE, the centre is the first purpose-built facility dedicated entirely to MND care, research, education and holistic support in the UK, and stands as a trailblazer for others around the country. It was a pleasure to meet professionals as well as Rob's family, highlighting the incredible dedication and generosity that brought this vision to life.

It was great to attend the Wisbech launch event for #Babyweek2025 with Bushra, the Community Pharmacy Engagement Lead. We really enjoyed talking to parents about the services available in local pharmacies including #pharmacyfirst, contraception & flu vaccinations for children

@MayorChester Amazing 🤩

From around 28 weeks, babies start hearing sounds and begin learning the rhythm of their native language. Oxford Brookes Babylab carries out a vast amount of research focusing on how infants learn language #BabyWeek #PrenatalLearning #BabyHearing
