Over the past two weeks, we marked three important awareness days β International Day of the Midwife, International Nurses Day and National Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) Day. These important days recognise the dedication, skill and impact of colleagues working across maternity, nursing and theatres. πππ
For this, the Trust hosted their first ever Nursing and Midwifery Conference at Hounslow House on 11 May, showcasing the unique and collective contributions of various projects led by our nursing and midwifery colleagues that make a difference to patients, teams and communities.
At West Middlesex Hospital, the Nursing team hosted a variety show event with various nursing staff showcasing their talents through singing, dancing and guitar performances.
There were also ward deliveries throughout the week, where special treats where given to our nurses, midwives and ODPs.
Lastly, the week culminated with a Trust wide interactive quiz led by the Nursing, Midwifery and ODP teams, where staff where quizzed about the NHS and the Trust.
Thank you to all of our incredible nursing, midwifery and ODP workforce who continuously deliver outstanding patient-centred care. π
