It was great to visit community services at CNWL NHS FT for my first visit as CNO for England. I learned about the vital work of colleagues in the COPD and Home Oxygen, Heart Failure and Palliative Care teams – and spoke to Parvathy, a student nurse on placement from Middlesex University.

Please watch this message from NHS England’s chief workforce, training and education officer and access information on the support available if you or your team need it. Thank you Dr Navina Evans. #teamCNO

It was a pleasure to meet mental health nursing colleagues EPUT last Friday and hear about the care and support they provide to patients and their families. Thank you for such a warm welcome. #teamCNO

I’m delighted that Louise Ashley has joined NHS England as interim Regional Chief Nurse for NHS East of England. I’m looking forward to working with you, Louise. #teamCNO

Today, I met mental health nursing colleagues Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS HPFT to hear about the specialist care they provide to older people in hospital. It was great to talk to student nurses from UH Health&SocialWork too, as well as other #teamCNO and AHP colleagues and catch up with their new CNO Dr Emma Wadey Ph.D FQNI RN (MH).
