Community nurse Christine Heathcote celebrated her retirement with current and previous colleagues, friends and family. Christine qualified in 1970 and joined community in 1995. She's worked within the NHS for 49 years and will be massively missed by everyone. Enjoy your retirement Christine, and thank you for all your years of caring!

Our non-exec directors got their flu jabs today after the board meeting - have you had yours yet? #BeAHero and #EarnYourStripe by protecting yourself, your patients and your family.
It was great to welcome John Higgins, co-author of the book ‘Speak Up! Say what needs to be said and hear what needs to be heard’ today at our weekly Ground Round lecture. Today's theme was all around speaking up in your workplace, so it was fantastic to see such a big turn out and to see staff taking the opportunity to ask John their questions. Thank you to all who took the time to attend! 💬💚
