Happy International day of the Midwife. #IDM2019 #thankyoumidwives SWBH_PMA SWB NHS Trust

Think it’s really important for young people - especially women - to know that even the most senior, apparently confident people have moments of self doubt. It’s not a reason not to follow your dreams. Be yourself and believe in yourself.

Getting ready for run of nights. How do you prepare to shift your body clock? #pma #shiftworker #selfcare

Mental health awareness week... are you maintaining 2 full time jobs?

Thank you Dr Maeve O'Connell RM RGN ☘️💙 for sharing. I was talking to @flowepower66 about this yesterday. I’m absolutely against all kinds of public shaming of individuals, sometimes justified by shamer as ‘calling out’. #ENOUGH

Have you been mugged? Last seen on M2. Is there someone you want to thank/make smile? The only rule with the mug is you must give it to someone in a different ward/area. Receive the mug, enjoy its contents. Then refill and pay it forward #payitforward #spreadthelove #mugged #pma
