After a few days of processing what was a day to be remembered for the rest of my life, I’m finally sharing some photos taken during King Charles’ 75th Birthday Reception. What an honour and a privelege to be there among the greats. 🇬🇧🇵🇭 #buckinghampalace #kingsreception

What a fantastic ride so far! So proud of us🙏🩷⭐️ #memories #25years
Then and now...in 1999, a group of nurses arrived from the Philippines, ready to begin their careers. Last month, they celebrated 25 years since their arrival. 🎉 Congratulations and thank you for everything you've have done for our Trust and for our NHS! 💙

So proud and happy to have gone with these amazing nurses to the Houses of Parliament🏰
A group of Internationally Educated Nurses, winners/nominees at our Nursing and Midwifery Awards, enjoyed a trip to London & the Houses of Parliament last month. Some were invited to thank them for supporting new IENs. Lead Nurse, Edel Sabas said the day was "awe-inspiring"! 💙

Healthcare support worker Junior supported a distressed patient in a very challenging situation. He has been recognised for his quick thinking and bravery with a @CavellCharity #CavellStarAward presented by our Chief Nurse. ⭐ Congratulations Junior, we're so proud of you! 👏

One of the things I love with my job is to meet the #IENs when they land in the UK. Fresh off the plane and to new adventure @MTWnhs @HaworthJo @hannahtompsett @JulesAyling

Our Careers and Wellbeing roadshow has been doing the rounds at our hospitals, visiting our wards and talking to our nursing teams about career development, learning, wellbeing support and networks. The focus this month is pastoral care. 💙 #ExceptionalPeopleOutstandingCare

A Saturday well spent. Another IEN listening event with our chief nurse @HaworthJo. It was well attended with presentation of good practice and to have an opportunity to once again hear #IENs experiences to see what else we can improve on. @mtw @JulesAyling @rennyheald33472

I don’t know where HM King Charles @RoyalFamily gets his energy from but spending your birthday with 400+ International Nurses & Midwives is a feat in itself! Thank you for being so gracious, listened to all our quirky but unique stories❤️ We get to sing him a Happy birthday!

Providing a platform for our #IENs to have a voice. A Listening Session with our Chief Nurse @HaworthJo is exactly that. It such an eye opening and humbling experience. It is only in this honesty that we can make a difference. @MTWnhs
