Wishing happy #InternationalNursesDay to all nurses, nursing associates and students, especially those working in children’s #PalliativeCare.
I’m lucky to have worked with and learned from so many brilliant nurses who make a difference to babies, children, young people and their families, every day

I welcome the Palliative Care Commission, with some fabulous commissioners. But where is the nursing voice? Of 21 commissioners why 10 medical doctors and only 1 person with a nursing background? #hpm #hapc #nursing @alisonleary1.bsky.social palliativecarecommission.uk/commissioners
