This is an open, honest and inspiring account of neurodiversity from someone working within the healthcare industry. Thank you so much for sharing your story in celebration of Neurodiversity Celebration Week, so that others know they're not alone

“Remember your brain is not wrong – it’s just different”

As part of Neurodiversity Celebration Week (17 – 23 March 2026), an annual awareness week that celebrates and challenges stereotypes and misconceptions about neurological differences, the Trust has spoken with a Trust administrator about her experience of being neurodivergent.

Neurological differences affect 15-20% of people in the UK. By highlighting the strengths and positive perspectives of neurodivergent people, this helps to celebrate their unique talents and ways of thinking.

Esther Rook, Medical Education Administrator at Derbyshire Healthcare, shares her experience of having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the impact this has had on her life.

We're committed to supporting the training and development of our staff, and so it is fantastic to see those equally dedicated rewarded for their incredible efforts

It was a proud day yesterday for our CEO Professor Oonagh Smyth as she collected her CBE for services to adult social care.

This is a wonderful recognition for both Oonagh and the incredible adult social care sector.

Well done Oonagh from the whole Skills for Care team 👏
