Research star of the month @SalfordCO_NHS is renal dietitian Rebecca Pearce for her work building a Patient & Public Involvement & Engagement group for the Donal O'Donoghue Renal Research Centre. Rebecca thoroughly deserves the NIHR grant she's been awarded for her own research!

Totally agree@JaneEBall Nurses need to valued every day. Happy International Nurses Day to past, present and future nurses! 🤩
12 May 2024
100% thank you.
But nurses don’t just need thanking on one day of the year.
They need valuing EVERY DAY - with staffing levels guaranteed to allow them to nurse without endangering themselves or their patients.
Which means enough registered nurses on every shift.
