International Women Day - Inspiration and why staff do what they do

Elizabeth Clark - Clerical officer

What inspires me most about women is their ability to overcome challenged while lifting others up. The women in my life have shown me what determination, care and strength look like. I’m grateful for the inspiration they bring me every day.
I do the job that I do because it’s something I genuinely care about. I enjoy the challenges and helps me improve as a person while helping others along the way.

International Women day.

Dr. Holly Trippe - views on her inspiration and why she does the job she does ;

I chose medicine as a career initially because I loved the science and the idea of making a difference. Now I aspire to make sure every patient I see, is treated in a manner that I would want my loved ones to be. Every person deserves to be both heard and have access to the healthcare they need.
I have worked alongside many incredible female clinicians, but Dr Huda Mahmoud and Dr Priya stand out. They taught me more than I express about leadership within medicine, and ensuring your voice is both listened to and heard.

The reason why I follow my vocational calling is because of my own personal journey of trauma , loss and grief and have embraced this and such a positive of supporting others gives real purpose.

Interantional Women day theme - Give to Gain

Staffs views :

Carrol Merrick - Palliative Care Nurse
"I've always wanted to be a nurse from a very early age. I have had a lot of different careers from working in a bank to a gym club, but I can truly say I have come back to my real aspiration and that is being a nurse. Palliative care to me means that "I am working with the patients holistic needs than just following a straight pathway of care"

What I give to Gain - Staff views

Lindsay Snowden - Palliative Care Nurse
I am the first nurse in the family. I have always known I wanted to work in either Palliative Care or Intensive care . My passion comes from giving patients "Patient centred care and good End of Life care" "I am passionate about the fact that when we are born we have someone to bring us into the world and we deserve someone to go out with in a dignified way"
