Grief is a strange thing, it hits everyone differently and we all show it in different ways None are right or wrong they are just different. Just because we don’t show it in public doesn’t mean we are struggling Remember you never know what is happening in people personal lives❤️

Great night at #BJNAwards. A pleasure to hand the award to the Oncology Nurses of the Year. Karen Hamlen & Ben Hood. They developed a teen-friendly website providing understandable and age-appropriate information about taking part in cancer research.

This is me in 2005, a year after becoming a Research Nurse in Late Effects. We didn't have a CNS at that point and I'm pleased to have become part of the fantastic team with several CNSs and AHPs caring for people with late effects. Happy #nationalcnsday
