🔵We are delighted to share that there are now 215 Big Conversation Champions. This is a fantastic achievement and reflects the commitment of each champion in driving meaningful conversations and ensuring the voices of nurses and midwives are heard as we implement ‘Leading the Way’. Please continue to engage with your local champions and share feedback from your conversations – we are listening.

🔵Professional Practice is the second priority within the Strategy and invites teams to reflect on three key areas: aspirations for professional practice, professional development, and future goals. Feedback can be shared via the MS Form or QR code right and takes just two minutes to complete. We also encourage everyone to explore the ​​Education Framework​​ for further guidance and support.

If you are visiting a friend or loved one in hospital, please help us to reduce the spread of flu and to minimise the risk to vulnerable patients.

We are encouraging all visitors to our hospitals, and all clinical staff, to wear face coverings, similar to those used during the COVID pandemic, while they are on our premises.

By taking this simple step, you will help ensure that you, your loved ones and our patients stay protected.

Roselynn Kennedy has retired after dedicating 47 years to the Burns and Plastic Surgery Service. Roselynn was the Ward Manager, for many years, in The Burns Unit situated in ward 40/41 and ward 23/24 before moving to ward 45 in the Jubilee Building of GRI.

Roselynn then held the post of Lead Nurse for 10 years and was the Clinical Service Manager for a period of time. She returned to the Burns Unit to finish her career as a Charge Nurse. This is where Roselynn's passion lay. She has always been an advocate for compassionate care, improvements in Burn Care and staff development. She promoted excellence in care to help patients achieve the best possible functional outcomes and live as normal a life as possible following traumatic, life changing injuries.

Roselynn has been instrumental in many improvements within the service. She was involved in the establishment of the Burns Clinic, setting up the post graduate Burns and Plastic surgery course, introduction of day surgery in Plastic Surgery, introduction of pre-assessment and Nurse Led Minor Surgery to mention a few.

Roselynn has inspired many of us both clinically and through her leadership and drive. She will be missed by all the staff and we wish her a well-deserved retirement. She is a true Burns Legend.
