How fab is this? ⏬ I first encountered Cathy back in Covid when she asked me to get out some urgent advice to patients with bleeding disorders to signpost to appropriate platforms - it's good to see she's still got their back and champions their needs @nursingtimes.bsky.social

It's not every day one of our nurses gets featured on BBC News, so it was fab earlier this week to see Cathy Harrison's Nursing Times Nurse of the Year award celebrated!

Cathy has done amazing work supporting the blood and bleeding disorders community 👇
