What a wonderful way to start a Wednesday morning! Nurse Clinical fellow Suma- who has developed & grown professionally this year so much so- that she is almost unrecognisable. She has secured a promotion in the system too and produced a fabulous toolkit for ward leaders!πŸ‘πŸ½ Well done!

As a Filipino in Wales, it brings me so much pride and joy to see our flag being raised - as we celebrate our independence day. It feels closer to home.

Congratulations @princemeph.bsky.social and to everyone in BCUHB for the massive success!

So the Marmot report on London last year showed that white working class boys did worse than ethnic minorities at school.
When it came to getting jobs though they were the most likely to be hired out of all groups who applied.

This is fascinating. I love working with multilingual families and am in awe of little ones who effortlessly learn words in different languages ❀️ it’s no wonder that the brain tools required for knowing and appropriately switching between languages boosts the pre-frontal cortex 🧠
