There are moments when all you can do is pause and take it in. I had one of those moments this week whilst listening to @dameanionwu.bsky.social share her remarkable life story. If she doesn’t inspire you to use your #cypnurse voice, nothing will! Thank you @kathevans2.bsky.social for taking the pic

Thanks @kathevans2.bsky.social for signposting to this. And - as ever - being a champion of #ChildRights and #YPHealthParticipation. It's a privilege to work with you 😊
