It really felt like a โback to schoolโ this week as @rockchoir_rob kicked off the autumn term. So nice to see so many familiar faces back together, ready to sing & have fun ๐คฉ!
Weโve started the term learning โSeptemberโ by Earth, Wind & Fire ๐๐จ๐ฅ- how uplifting!

Itโs #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and this yearโs theme is community.

Attended a Blood Bourne Virus #HepC workshop today by @Waythrough_UK
Powerful reminder that hepatitis C is curable - but not 4 everyone, yet.
Stigma, inequality & lack of access are still barriers to overcome.

Today @tynehousing celebrated #InternationalWomensDay with @wishnortheast
We shared our thoughts on acceleration - enablers & barriers. A perfect time to reflect on my own journey from an International Educated Staff Nurse to an Executive / Board Nurse.

The inspiring story from a service user reminded us why this work is so vital. Change is possible with the right support!

Nothing like waking up to a winter wonderland! The whole village is blanketed in snow. The crisp air, the soft silence & the glistening white - pure magic! โ๏ธโ๏ธ
But I recognise the weather is not good news for many vulnerable people , so please take care & keep warm!
