I love working with CYP as even on the toughest days, they are still honest, funny and true. If you gain the trust of them and their family and make the journey a little easier, that is the reward in itself

Brexit a key factor in worst UK medicine shortages in four years, report says Nuffield Trust says supply chains have shifted, with medicines for epilepsy and cystic fibrosis among those now scarce

Rapidly rolling out alternatives to the latest medicine shortage is now a routine part of my 'day job'. It surprises me how few shortages of essential drugs make the news, so thank you Guardian and Nuffield trust for highlighting it

Urgent Call for Action: Support Disabled Children’s Right to Dignified, Accessible Continence Care - Cerebra Our groundbreaking new report reveals a shocking failure by health and social care bodies across England, Wales, and Scotland to provide adequate paediatric continence supplies for disabled children. ...

Action needed!! Kids continence care is close to my 🩷 as Mum and nurse. A new report shows the lack of services is causing emotional, financial, & social consequences for families, & disabled children are being denied their basic right to dignity and inclusion. Thanks!
