Thank you for the wonderful donation of Easter eggs last week to the staff and children on Galaxy ward, arranged by sian pidduck on behalf of Vistavis window cleaning company.

Tomorrow at Barnet we will be hosting the international friendship circle. This is an opportunity for our overseas nurses to meet with their clinical and operational peers with a cuppa. Come and join us in the Retreat at 11:00. Tea and coffee provided. Karen Kirwilliam

Don’t forget to bring your walking shoes tomorrow because it’s walking Wednesday!! Meet at the main entrance of the hospital at 13:00. We look forward to seeing you. Karen Kirwilliam

At our International friendship circle group on Friday, we listened to Ishmael share his journey from joining the Trust as an overseas nurse to becoming a band 6. Join us on Friday at 11:00 in the Retreat to hear more inspirational stories.

It was walking Wednesday today and the group took a breather to appreciate the road sign which sums up why we walk on a Wednesday!!
