Long overdue.
Filipino nurses have been the backbone of the NHS since 1969—decades as the largest international nurses in health & social care.
Now, we’re finally named in the NHS Staff Survey.
Not “other.”
We are seen, named, acknowledged. 🇵🇭💙 #FilipinoNurses #EquityMatters

I initiated the 'Parliamentary Coronavirus Quilt' project.
Each block is a representation from MPs highlighting the effects of the pandemic across the UK.
I will publish a photo book about the quilt, donating all profits to support The National Covid Memorial Wall’s preservation.
