I was so pleased to complete the Accelerated Directors Development Scheme (ADDS), it was an amazing programme and gave me the opportunity to learn with fabulous people across the region. To go to work today and receive recognition from my wonderful boss just made me smile!

What a fantastic Chief Nurse Away day! Great staff engagement, time out to learn together, and share new ideas. Cannot wait for the next one!! 🙌@kellyMcgovern21 @WestHertsNHS

Up and out before sunrise, checking in on staff wellbeing and patient care. Lovely observations of warm interactions by the teams! 🤩🙌@Pope2Emma @kellyMcgovern21 @WestHertsNHS

Refresher CBRNe/Major incident training completed! Thank you Helen and Rick for teaching the team today! Essential training for staff but hope it’s never needed. #staffsafety#patientsafety @WestHertsNHS @kellyMcgovern21

Out of the office and on the wards today with our NED Heather, meeting staff & speaking with patients & relatives, received great feedback and good suggestions so we can always improve. Well done to the medical wards! 🙌

Watched ‘Delivering Babies’ at Watford Hospital series 4. Emma Willis was fantastic working with the amazing teams and families, sharing with them emotional and precious moments, also was quite special for me too as I was born there! 48 years ago! 😳🥰👶🏻

I always believe how peers treat each other is how they treat their patients. From the professional behaviours, warmth and humour I observed at St Albans site and with patients sharing with me great feedback. I couldn’t be more proud of the teams working there! 🤩@WestHertsNHS

Great day out with my family especially as huge fan of @JeremyClarkson cheers!

Thank you to all those who helped with mealtime audits, a great turn out! Observing fantastic interactions with patients and visitors, and clear processes ensuring those who need mealtime assistance was achieved. Well done to all the ward teams! 🙌@WestHertsNHS @kellyMcgovern21

A great team promoting Learning Disability Awareness this week! Sharing great work and new initiatives to support our patients! 🙌⭐️@WestHertsNHS @kellyMcgovern21
