I still love that my job continues to bring new experiences & little surprises regularly. Today's being carrying out FEES to the soundtrack of Mysterious Girl by Peter Andre - our patient's favourite song which helped him relax. It's quite hard not to move along with those beats!

End of an era at @SWBHnhs. Started my SLT career at Sandwell & City Hospitals and returned at the start of the pandemic. Last shift on the wards at Sandwell today before it closes on Sunday. Will be working Sunday at @MidlandMetUH as patients are transferred from Sandwell.

Fab opportunity to come and join us at this exciting time as we transition to our new hospital MMUH. Opportunities include helping develop our front door service and input into ED and AMU (the biggest ED/AMU in Europe so I've been told!) @SWBHnhs @ibedsSWBH @RCSLT

SLT SWB @swb_slt May 21, 2024

Due to new funding ahead of our move to our new hospital @midlandmet in October a fab opportunity has arisen for a Band 6 post within our acute team. There couldn't be a more exciting time to join us 🤩
Job closes 3rd June. Any questions do ask.

Today Kate retired from @SWBHnhs after starting in the Trust back in 1999. @swb_slt won't be the same without her! It's been an absolute privilege to work with Kate. She was there at the very start of my career & has become a true friend since I returned to the Trust 4 years ago.
