At the end of the week where we celebrated and listened to our Nurses, for International Nurses Day, we hear from Angela Witham, one of our District Nurses, who talks about the role of district nursing, how they are keeping people out of hospital, what she most enjoyed about our nurse's event and how she is so proud of her team working in challenging times.

Struggling with exam stress? You’re not alone.

Exams can feel overwhelming, but small steps can make a big difference:

- Create a realistic revision schedule
- Take care of your physical health
- Don’t compare yourself to others
- Think positively
- Keep things in perspective

Remember: doing your best is enough. You’ve got this 🙌

A new way to reach NHS 111, Option 2, by text. 📱
From today, anyone in north east London can text 07860 009642 to access mental health crisis support, as well as calling.
Sometimes words are too hard to say. Sometimes there isn't a private place to make a phone call. If texting feels easier, you can send 'help', or anything at all, even a blank message. A team member will get back to you.

A huge thank you to all of our nurses across NELFT 💙

Yesterday, we came together for our International Nurses’ Day celebration, recognising the incredible dedication, compassion and expertise of nursing teams across the organisation.

We celebrated our Directorate Nurses of the Year, heard inspiring stories from teams, and reflected on the positive difference nurses make to people’s lives every single day.

We also took time to acknowledge the realities and challenges many nurses face, creating space for honest conversations and reflection.

And while many joined the event, so many others were caring for people in our communities, clinics and wards.

From our junior nurses to senior leaders, thank you for everything you do. 💙

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week 💙

Stress can feel overwhelming, but small, everyday actions can make a real difference.

From getting active to practicing mindfulness, prioritising sleep, connecting with others and spending time in nature, there are simple ways to support your mental wellbeing.

Swipe through to explore practical tips for managing stress and finding a calmer balance.

This is lovely. So important to be working together to support people in our communities.

This Stress Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the support available through our NHS Talking Therapies.

Whether it’s stress, or low mood, our team can offer practical, evidence-based ways to understand and manage how you’re feeling.

You don’t have to manage it alone.
