Extremely pleased to report the next step in my nursing journey will be as a Clinical Lead for the Home-Based Treatment Team. Sad to leave my Mountcroft (& F4!) colleagues who have become a surrogate family this year, but excited for the challenges ahead 🎉

Merry Christmas to those spending time with their families and those working to keep services running and safe. To those in the festive spirit and those who are struggling. To those full of love and to those full of loss ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Always good to get the blues back on for an inpatient day (not too keen on this time of day though!)

Some thoughtful gifts from a wonderful student nurse I've had the pleasure of assessing in practice

My current role! An amazing team to work with and a great opportunity for someone looking to make the next step on their nursing journey nhsjobs.com/job/-v6058711?…

My diagnosis doesn't define me. Appreciate the opportunity to share my story Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust #ActuallyAutistic

What an emotional day! Saying goodbye to my CMHT home-from-home and closing another happy career chapter. Blessed to have met and learned from so many wonderful professionals and friends along the way and looking forward to new beginnings 🌟

New job ready! #firstdaynerves

This Neurodiversity Celebration Week meet Ross. Three years ago he received an autism diagnosis at the age of 30. Ross is a Clinical Lead in our Home Based Treatment Team after recently being promoted. Read his story on our website bit.ly/3wOTZ2h #ThisIsND Neurodiversity Celebration Week

It's been a good day: facilitating my first supervision sessions and appraisal conversations with new team members and getting to know them better, and coming home to a kind message from Chris Oliver. Very much appreciated, thank you.

Come and work with me! We are looking for a passionate and innovative Clinical Lead to join our welcoming and dedicated Home Based Treatment Team. lscft.nhs.uk/vacancies#!/jo…

My first (maybe only) vlog where I share my experiences of a 'simple' trip to the shops #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD youtu.be/kzlGsAPpV34?fe…

Out-of-office is officially on. Proud to have been a part of this team over the last 3 months and looking forward to the future, but ready for a rest and reset!

Today, I had the honour of sharing some of my personal journey at the Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust Learning Disability and Autism conference. I was humbled to follow inspiring and knowledgeable presenters and to connect with colleagues old and new on their personal and professional journeys 🌈

Here's a shortened and softened version of the talk I gave on my experiences at the recent LD & Autism conference: youtu.be/uQsQkicI6ZU?fe…

A year later than planned and without a team finally managed to do Tough Mudder. A year ago I could barely walk and thought my running days might be over after struggling with recurring injuries. Now I feel healthy again and am so grateful for that #ToughMudder

Have any Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust colleagues completed the Flourish and/ or Mary Seacole programmes? If so would you recommend?

Next year, I will be running Manchester Marathon and fundraising for Alzheimer's Society. A cause close to my heart. Check out my JustGiving page and please donate if you can. Thank you! justgiving.com/page/ross-sysu…
