Thank you, Emma @itaherone.bsky.social for your support to me and to our community. I could have not done this without the support of a compassionate leader like you. 💕

Bold. Calm confidence. Committed. Purpose driven team. I am deeply proud of what we have started. And I am even more excited for what we will continue to build together.

History was made today. After more than two decades of unwavering dedication and service by the Filipino community to the NHS here in Wales, we have finally seen our flag—the Philippine flag—raised on hospital grounds for the very first time. A proud and powerful moment! #PhilippineIndependenceDay

It’s official: the PNA UK Wales Chapter officers have taken their oath of office at the historic Lea Hurst — the childhood home of Florence Nightingale. The ceremony was made even more meaningful by the presence of inspiring Filipino and Indian leaders. @reginareyes.bsky.social @sabcoxy.bsky.social

The mortality numbers related to ERCP are always sobering for a relatively “routine” endoscopic procedure. Clinical appropriateness must always be considered. Cotton adage- ERCP is most dangerous for people who need it least. #EndoscopySky
