Leaving Queens hospital Havering having met nursing staff in almost every department. My admiration for these nurses knows no limits. They are a credit to our profession and for what they do for patients. Thank you to the one and only Ian Norris for accompanying me all day

Today was so uplifting but yet I see nursing staff manage in the most challenging of circumstances all out with their control. Thanks you to our staff and reps for sorting visits for me. This is the part of the job thats most important to me. What a privilege to meet our members
