Last week I started my new role at @BelTel as a 'Journalist Creator'!🤳🏼
What does it mean though?🤔
Well, I'm still a journalist, but now I'll be bringing stories in a more visual, social media-friendly way, that is also more focused on mobile audiences📲

@EoinTennyson A great GP that we have sadly lost from NI practice.
Exceptional courage to speak up so well

Gareth Patterson’s powerful and courageous testimony is yet more evidence of the urgent need to ban conversion practices.
In the absence of action from the Communities Minister, I will keep pressing to bring legislation before the Assembly to finally end these archaic and harmful practices.

@mlchealth @RCP_NI @mikenesbittni @niexecutive A great day with so much hope - and I got to meet @drjulespsych in person for the first time in many years! Still won't quite believe we've got the MBU until the doors open!

What a difference a year makes - Belfast Marathon 2025 and @RCP_NI & community nurses ran to highlight need for an MBU in NI. This week saw @mikenesbittni announcing #MBUNI will open 2028/29. Mothers will hold @niexecutive to account.
Good luck to all mums running today. 🌈🏃♀️🤞

Beyond thrilled to see this news. THIS should be the headline instead of flags and the usual political point scoring. This is a literal lifeline for mums and families struggling in crisis. 🙌👏👏👏👏👏❤️

There must be no more delays to delivering a mother and baby unit - @mcguigan_philip
“I urge the Health Minister to ensure there are no further delays to this project, that it is fully funded, and to outline how women will be supported in the meantime."

If you haven't seen Mums in Crisis please take half an hour to watch to understand why today's Mother and Baby Unit announcement is so important. You'll also understand why @mlchealth is a finalist in @amnesty journalist awards - this was such an impactful programme.

A permanent mother and baby unit will be built in the grounds of the Belfast City Hospital. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK without such a facility, forcing around 100 women a year to be separated from their babies when admitted to general psychiatric wards

After campaigning for almost 20 years, I'm over the moon that a NI Mother and Baby Unit will open. This will save lives and prevent life-long trauma. So, so proud to have worked with @ActionOnPP for 4 years and with @rcpsychNI nearly 20 years ago.

We're grateful to @mikenesbittni and his @healthdpt officials for all the work they've done on the landmark Tobacco & Vapes Act. The Northern Ireland Assembly was first with an LCM to adopt this law and @CRUK_Policy wants to thank every MLA who voted for a #SmokefreeGeneration

🚭The Health Minister has welcomed the Tobacco and Vapes Act passing into law. 🙌 Minister Nesbitt said: “The Tobacco and Vapes Act is a landmark public health milestone, creating a smoke free generation for our children and young people." 👉 More info: health-ni.gov.uk/news/minister-…

We are grateful for all the overwhelming political support across the four nations and across both Houses for their support for the Tobacco and Vapes Act during its passage through Parliament.
This is a major milestone in our mission to beat cancer, but our efforts to reduce the harms of tobacco don't stop here. We’ll continue to work with governments across all UK nations to ensure the Act is implemented in full.

The Tobacco and Vapes Act has become law today, helping to create Northern Ireland’s first ever smokefree generation. This law is a significant step forward towards protecting future generations from the harms of smoking.
