Mae pob blwyddyn yn anrheg sy'n dal gobaith am anturiaethau newydd. Boed i'ch 2025 fod yn llawn archwilio, darganfod, a thwf! Each year is a gift that holds hope for new adventures. May your 2025 be filled with exploration, discovery, and growth!

As 2025 nears, I’m reflecting on how stepping into a non-clinical digital role showed me how deeply my identity as a nurse is rooted. It’s more than a job—it’s who I am. Has anyone else stepped into a non-clinical role and it not been for them?

I just want to say Nadolig Llawen to my network! This year has been tough but I'm looking forward to the opportunities 2025 will bring! I hope you enjoy a restful festive break, and to those that are working through, providing essential services, Diolch yn fawr!

If you are a nurse interested in Digital in any way, there is a Digital Nursing Forum! Join as a voting member and help raise the voice of nursing in Digital health! #DigiNurseForum @diginurse-fi.bsky.social

I enjoyed recording a podcast this evening for The IAED Dispatch In Depth with Rhi Roynon & Conrad Fivaz talking about Welsh Ambulance NHS111 Wales recently implemented Call Prioritisation Streaming System (CPSS) & the positive outcomes from recent clinical validation research.

#NurseSky at what stage does banding not become important? As a band 7 becoming a band 8a is really important to me, however people in very senior roles say banding isn't important. What are your thoughts?

When the healthcare system takes a tech or system approach not a person centred approach it can cause more harm.

"Remote monitoring truly shines in population health management strategies. When combined with chronic care management, medication adherence & other health readings, providers can get a truly comprehensive view". medcitynews.com/2024/11/remo...

I'm looking forward to beginning my term on council with the Royal College of Nurses in Jan. The RCN needs to be formidable in its pursuit of respect for nurses or we will continue to lose them. There is no health system, and no healthcare, without nurses. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...
