Student nurses are set to receive dedicated training on domestic abuse and violence against women and girls as part of ‘The Unlock Safety Initiative’ which has been developed in partnership with @theRCN, @WomensAidNI, @QUBelfast School of Nursing & Midwifery and @ExecOfficeNI Ending Violence Against Women & Girls Regional Change Fund. The First Minister and deputy First Minister said they were delighted to support the training for frontline healthcare workers, enabling them to recognise abuse and take action to ensure victims get the help they need.

Many congratulations to our Dean and Head of School, Professor Alan Smyth, on this fantastic recognition of his work.
Congratulations to Professor @AlanRSmyth who has been awarded ‘Outstanding Clinical Researcher’ at the Cystic Fibrosis Trust @cftrust 60th Anniversary Awards.
Professor Smyth's research focuses on the safety and efficacy of #CysticFibrosis treatments, to allow clinicians to make the best treatment decisions in partnership with their patients.
He is also a member of @CochraneCollab, which is an enthusiastic team of people who are interested in producing high quality systematic reviews of interventions relating to the care of people with cystic fibrosis, and to their families.
Incredible work, Professor Smyth!

The Air Ambulance's callsign is 'Helimed23' 🚁This identifies our exact aircraft. When followed by the word 'Alpha' it allows Air Traffic Control to know we are on a time critical operational flight, which is similar to putting a ‘blue light’ on top of our aircraft 🚨
