1 in 7 people in the UK are neurodivergent.

During Neurodiversity Celebration Week, colleagues across Wirral trusts shared their stories to improve understanding and highlight the strengths neurodivergent people bring to healthcare.

From fresh ways of problem-solving to the ability to focus deeply under pressure, these different ways of thinking are helping teams grow stronger and improving care for patients every day.

By opening up conversations around conditions like ADHD and Autism Spectrum Condition, staff are helping build a more inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive.

This week is Neurodiversity Celebration Week 🤩

Across the NHS, neurodivergent colleagues bring a wealth of strengths, talents and perspectives that make a real difference every single day. From creative problem-solving and innovative thinking to deep focus, empathy and attention to detail, these qualities help shape better care for our patients and stronger teams for our staff.

Neurodiversity is something to recognise, respect and celebrate. By embracing different ways of thinking and experiencing the world, we build a more inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive.

To all our neurodivergent staff: thank you for everything you bring. Your individuality makes our NHS better 💙

Today is National Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialist Day 💙

Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialists play a vital role in supporting patients and families through every stage of their cancer journey. From diagnosis to treatment and beyond, they provide expert advice, coordinate care and offer reassurance when it’s needed most.

They are often the main point of contact for patients, helping people understand their care and making sure they feel supported throughout their treatment.

Thank you to all our dedicated Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialists for the compassion, knowledge and support you bring to patients every day.

Every month, put your mind to the test with a stimulating mix of word, number and logic puzzles.

Children under 6 are now being offered the MMRV vaccine instead of MMR as part of the NHS routine childhood vaccination programme.

This replaces the existing MMR vaccine and adds protection against chickenpox, alongside measles, mumps and rubella.

You don’t need to do anything — your GP will contact you when your child is due.
