Pioneering nurse Daphne Steele has become the first person honoured with an English Heritage #blueplaque installed outside of London.
Daphne made history by becoming the first black matron in the NHS. CNO Ruth May called the plaque a fitting tribute.

If you are successful in your career, you most likely had mentors along the way.
It's time to pay it forward.
There is far more need for mentors than people willing to volunteer.
I am mentoring multiple students right now.
It is a joy, an honor, and a privilege.

Dame Donna Kinnair speaks about the early days of the CNO CMidO_StrategyGrp - there were only 3 Black Chief Nurses in London at the time, out of 12 across the country! It was very challenging & the group provided enormous & valuable support.
