Also at the PMRAFNS conference, we heard from the 'Atlantic Rocks' 4 RAF Regiment Gunners who rowed a gruelling and challenging 3200 miles from Lanzarote to Antigua. We learned how they developed their resilience and used teamwork to succeed in their mission. Truly outstanding.

A fantastic 2 days at the PMRAFNS nursing conference with over 200 hundred RAF Nurses in attendance. A wonderful opportunity to reconnect with colleagues. Fantastic presentation from Para Nordic Champion veteran Scott Meenah, who gave insights to his truly inspirational story.

This evening, at DMS Whittington, we gathered to remember and respect the remarkable tribulation, toil and triumph of those who tirelessly defended the UK against the Nazi peril. I was honoured to lead the toast to 'the few' to whom owe the precious freedoms we enjoy today. โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ›ฉ๏ธ

Suicide prevention depends on a supportive environment . When behaviours change; if colleagues seem withdrawn, and alter the way they plan- its right to ask how they are, or if they've had suicidal thoughts. Sometimes we need 'permission' to talk - listening can save lives.

18 days until the Defence Nursing Conference! Only by coming together, sharing experiences and learning from our speakers can we innovate and deliver the best care for our patients. Defence nurses - be it on land, sea, in the air, or at home - give care where others cannot go.

Great to catch-up with some of our student nurses, who were taking part in the British Army Warrior Fitness Competition (Midlands region) today. Fitness & team work helps prepare our nurses - mentally and physically - for the challenges they will face, at home and abroad. ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‘
