@ProfVicSimms @IronOverloadUK @NHSuk Happy birthday Vic!!!

As a @IronOverloadUK person I get my bloods done regularly. They check your DOB. Cue nurses and porter singing happy birthday- & I got a balloon! (My midwife sis says this is gen only for paediatrics- I’m clearly special). @NHSuk you are wonderful.

Privileged to represent ⁦@healthdpt⁩ at NI Counselling Forum 21st birthday conference. The passion and commitment to improving lives was inspiring. I look forward to working with NICF and ⁦@BACP⁩ in my role as Chief Psychological Professions Officer for NI

How fabulous! Two of my favourite things combined. The evidence is there. Skin to skin works for baby and parent. And focusing on chd infants. Class!!

“Silo” seems to be a theme word for #CNOC2025. @CardiacNeuro has been making so many efforts to break down those silos and it’s so cool to hear about all the creative ways people tackle this!!

Absolutely this!

@NewbornCardiac Wish I was there! 💯 support this messaging!!

Setting up babies for success by getting them into a calm state can be done with simple interventions. Great visuals of this in action during this presentation! #CNOC2025

Day 2 of #CNOC2025 is off to a fantastic start with session 4 on #NeuroPROTECTION #chd # neurodevelopment 🧠🫀

So important to be reminded that changes in brain development happen starting in utero. We’ve said it before and we’ll keep saying it…you can’t support infant development without supporting moms! #CNOC2025
