The DMA is a kinder place to be after the launch of “random acts of crochet kindness”. These small gestures can turn someone’s day around when experiencing difficulties. Thanks to Claire, Charlie and Annmarie for creating these!

At the DMA we value a team led approach to staff engagement. An insightful workshop was delivered today by @Nicole_OccPsych giving some of our Go Engage leads the knowledge and tools to help improve culture, engagement and wellbeing in their teams.

Today we welcome Air Marshal Clare Walton as the new Director General for the Defence Medical Services. AM Walton takes over from Dr Peter Homa, who left the post on Friday (30 June). Welcome to your new role AM Walton, we look forward to working with you. #DMS
