Well done, Chloe 👏

Overjoyed that the Government has adopted my Bill on International Nurses Day and will now protect the title of Nurse. This change will keep patients safer and shows the difference a Labour Government can make #ProtectNurse

"The well-being of Neonatal Nurses must be prioritised. We cannot expect neonatal nurses to provide optimal care for the smallest and sickest babies if they are not looked after themselves. We must look after our nurses." Cheryl Titherly, NNA Chief Executive.

Did you receive your NNA member update this month? I can recommend the healthy recipe from the British Heart Foundation. I used half the suggested amount of stock & added more garlic than recommended. I will make this again. Photo whilst cooking, not the finished soup, which looked & tasted yummy.
