Great to catch up with old friends from previous organisations… Nearly 20 years in the NHS will do that, I suppose! It feels a refreshing and so many opportunities already! About to enjoy this session… #NHSP24

Into the opening session with @julianhartley1… Outlining the context we’re all working in - from the first 100 days of the new Government to the winter pressures we’re all facing… It all feels very relevant and helpful to work through these challenges and opportunities #NHSP24

❤️At Chesterfield Royal Hospital we have a dedicated breast team who see around 160 patients a week. Alongside routine screening appointments they are there to diagnose, treat and support women and men who are diagnosed with breast cancer. 🌟As #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth begins, we are featuring Emily Moulds, Trainee Breast Nurse Consultant as our #WhoWeAre and #WhatWeDo colleague. 👩‍🎓A Chesterfield girl, Emily has been part of #TeamCRH for over two decades, having started as a HealthCare Assistant in 2004 where she worked across the surgical wards until she qualified as a registered nurse in 2007. 📞From that point a career in surgery was her aim. She completed 7 years in surgery finishing off on Elmton ward where she cared for many breast cancer patients. When a role became available as a nurse practitioner Emily was successful, working in post for nine years before taking the opportunity to become a trainee breast nurse consultant in early 2023. 🩺Her role is to support patients when referred on the urgent 2 week wait cancer pathway, this is often the beginning of a patient’s cancer journey. Emily will meet with patients and take a history of their current concern and a full medical history. She explains what will happen at that appointment, organise imaging and either discharge a patient or see them at the end of their appointment to discuss the findings from the assessment. 📞She safety nets patients care to ensure they have the correct follow up appointments/care. Other clinics that she is part of includes, follow up of breast cancer patients up to 5 years after treatment, family history clinics and benign telephone calls. 🩷Emily has this advice: 🍒 Breast cancer can affect anyone so it’s important to be chest aware - Check your chest/breast area including your armpits and up to your neck area every month. 🧁🧁You can do this standing up or sitting down, in the bath or shower and you may find it useful to use soap or moisturiser so your hands glide over the area. 👀 Look for any lumps, thickening or changes in the shape or size of your breasts, unusual swelling, indentations or skin changes such as puckering, dimpling or redness. Please look out for inverted nipples or crusting or anything that is unusual for you. If you find any of these symptoms or anything that is not normal for you then please seek advice from your GP. ✅ More advice and support is available here: breastcanceruk.org.uk/about-….

“My donor isn’t here but his legacy is living through me. I think about him every day. By choosing organ donation – you are saving someone’s life.” Professional Footballer and Chesterfield FC coach Kieron Dyer has played for his hometown club, Ipswich, and his country - with 33 caps for England. In November 2015, Kieron appeared as a contestant on ‘I’m a Celebrity’ and lasted 21 days, coming fourth. Just six years later, in 2021, he was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis, and told he would need to undergo a liver transplant. Two years later, a successful donor was found and the operation took place in October 2023. Three months later Kieron was back in the dugout at Chesterfield, and within six months picking up his winner’s medal after Chesterfield FC won the Vanarama Conference League in April. Deeply emotional as he watched the scenes on the pitch that day, Kieron admits that his donor was at the forefront of his thoughts. Here, Kieron talks about the liver transplant which he admits ‘saved his life’ and the journey it took him on. He also has a message for the NHS… @CUH_NHS @ChesterfieldFC @IpswichTown @NHSOrganDonor
