A moving and memorable few days that I'm thankful for being a part of 💛 flying the flag for palliative care Marie Curie NI #NationalDayofReflection2021 #MarieCurie #PalliativeCare #PalliativeNurse

💛

We are incredibly grateful for Department of Health's continued financial support for the hospice sector. This funding will help ensure we can continue to provide specialist care and support to people with palliative and end of life care needs across Northern Ireland.

I'll forever cherish days like today and the impact people, unknown to them, have on me ❤ #hospicenurse #palliativecare #dignityindying

Extra shifts are always a great idea when you book them...but just 6 hours between me and some well overdue annual leave - i can almost taste the bubbles already 🥂 #nurselife

To the hands we hold, the tears we hide. The medications we administer, the toilet trips we assist. The bloods, cannulas, IV prep. To be there for a person & their family at the most precious point of life - its a privilege to be a nurse ❤ #InternationalNursesDay Marie Curie NI

#WorldIBDDay 6 years in, 2 surgeries later, yet here I am - another flare up confirmed and awaiting a decision on the next stage of treatment. Crohns - the gift that keeps giving. But on we fight 💪 im a better nurse because ive been a patient ❤ #crohnsdisease #invisibleillness

We were delighted to speak with Emergency Department colleagues Belfast Trust about how to access the services Marie Curie NI delivers in the community which can prevent avoidable emergency admissions and get patients the care they need quickly.

So tomorrow is a pretty big deal-back to university I go 🙈 continuing to chase every dream I've ever had by starting my Specialist Nurse training in Palliative care. I can't wait for the sleepless nights, extra hours and zero social life-but it'll all be worth it 💛

Day one done - hoping its normal to be both nervous and excited about being back to uni! #UlsterNurse #specialistpractice #specialistnurse #PalliativeCare #nurselife #acoffeeaday
