Just learnt Greater Manchester will be placed into tier 2 restrictions via twitter. Apparently there was a government briefing for GM MPs but I can’t provide details because I wasn’t invited. I suspect this is because they don’t know where Wigan is. What an absolute shambles

Nothing has positively influenced my career more than being accepted on the @NHSGradScheme [redacted] years ago.... 2021 applications now open. Not only for recent graduates, last year over 20% were NHS staff. I can't recommend it enough. Apply! 👇🏿👇🏿👇🏿graduates.nhs.uk/events/

It's a year since I received the NHS Leadership Academy Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Award. I met some fantastic people, made great friends and became better leader. I can't recommend the programme enough. #EGA @NHSLeadership @Helbax @therealnb_1 @heather6797 @nicholasbjones
