A nice milestone reached before the end of 2024.
Earning things that require blood, sweat and tears mean everything to me.

So good to hear how joined up working and collaboration across government departments & the NHS results in positive effects for veterans that require care through Op RESTORE. It takes hard work, good people, vision and patience. @VeteransGovUK @NHSEngland @JohnnyMercerUK

Good to be back out running in the mornings - lost the habit but trying to re-establish it; knowing that physical & mental fitness improves productivity. Win the morning, win the day. #WTMWTD

The key way to identify early signs of impending #mentalhealth conditions is to ensure ALL supervisors have the skills/confidence to speak with their team about their wellbeing. The relationship between a worker & their supervisor is of paramount importance to their mental health

Mental ill health is the a major source of sickness absence from work;unless we tackle this by earlyidentification & treatment,and by creating healthier workplace cultures it will lead to poorer productivity & increasing ill health inews.co.uk/opinion/slacker-…

I campaigned for years to take Veteran’s care out of the Ministry of Defence. Proud that this Prime Minister has done so and aligned us with our international partners. Listen to why 👇
Puts us in position to be the best country in the world to be a veteran. We will get there.
