Patients on Arden ward were treated to a brilliant music session with resident music maestro, Matt tickling the ivories and nursing student, Liv on guitar. One of them had a voice like an angel. (I'm not going to say which.) @PennineCareNHS @Djbatch07 @MattAllen177372

Happy Black History Month! Banner created by patients and staff from Arden Ward, Stepping Hill Hospital. Who's name would you add?? #BlackHistoryMonthUK #blackhistorymonth2024 @PennineCareNHS @ArcStockport @Djbatch07 @mattwalshNDQ @bhmuk @AntHassallNHS @Mrsbaistow @DrJaKindell

Why are student nurses so under-supported by the NMC? I’ve missed 3 shifts this week as my 5-year-old son was admitted to hospital, and now, with just 2 months left on placement, I’m forced to cram 48 hour weeks to meet the 2300 hour requirement. How are we supposed to care for others when we can’t properly care for ourselves working these long, unpaid hours. Student nurses need compassionate/carers/discretionary leave too. *just to add - this isn’t a placement complaint. They’ve been AMAZING* #StudentNurse #StudentLife #NMC #Nurse

Fantastic STORM training with the amazing facilitator @Michelledavisq Such an important part of training for inpatient teams. #MonthofHope #SuicideAwareness #SuicidePrevention @PennineCareNHS @mattwalshNDQ @PaulaLB27 @AntHassallNHS @DilJauffur

Visiting @PennineCareNHS night-staff and listening to their worries & concerns about the violence nationally. Critical as #PennineCarePeople we demonstrate allyship with staff from global majority backgrounds #antiracism #NHS

@DilJauffur These shots are amazing Dil what an experience

like-minded photographers. 📸🦅🌿

Over the weekend, I had a fantastic morning photographing Ospreys at Rutland Waters. My close-up shots provide a sense of the bird's size, and those enormous claws leave little chance for the trout to escape. I'm definitely booking another session with Horn Mill Trout Farm.
