PRAM Network 💙 RCPCH West Midlands Paediatrics

Six generations of sim fellows! 🙌🏽

A legacy created here in West Midlands Paediatrics all thanks to Annabel Copeman and SimWardWolverhampton 🧡🖤

I’m so proud of this course - my legacy from my sim fellow year of 2016-17. Eternally thankful to Alison Belfitt for the ideas, to Annabel Copeman SimWardWolverhampton for the support in making it reality and to laura roe for embedding it in the regional programme #paedsrocks West Midlands Paediatrics

Preparation for Cake Thursday NICU Team at BWC is under way. I’ve heard there might be some chocolate haters amongst the staff so the non chocolate alternative is in the oven. Thanks Jane’s Patisserie ❤️🍰 for the recipes #baking #cake #brownies

Wondering what the visiting policies are where you work? RNOH NHS Trust still aren’t allowing visitors, even for patients with life changing injuries - seems very cruel to me

RNOH NHS Trust how can you justify your no visitors policy. Aware of a person with life changing injuries whose heavily pregnant wife can’t even see him. Sajid Javid how can such variability in visiting policy across the country be allowed? #covidvisiting #RNOH #spinalinjury

Picking up on a recent thread of Filipino nurses being amazing colleagues - some of them also bake! This NICU night shift just got a whole lot better.

They said every registrar at BHH Neonates needed a management role within the unit. I got Winter 2021/22 Bake Off organiser.
