A Big Thank You to Becklin Centre - Ward 5

On behalf of myself and some of the other Leeds University students mental health nurses, I’d like to say the biggest thank you to all the team at Ward 5 at the Becklin Centre. You made us all feel so welcome and it was our pleasure to be a part of such a compassionate, caring and fun team. I began placement doubting that I could make it through my nursing training, even contemplating giving up, but now after finishing placement I feel inspired and capable of achieving my dream. Sending the biggest thank you & best wishes for the festive period ❄️❄️

A Big Thank You to Armley Medical Practice

I want to say a big thank you to all the Staff at Armley Medical Practice Leeds .. They bought and donated toys for Radio Aire’s Cash For Kids appeal... You are simply the best 👍 This year we have held a Macmaillan coffee morning with a tombola, had a raffle for a pamper hamper that the staff put together in aid of The Alzheimer’s Society..Had an Easter raffle in aid of the RLNI & also continued to support Candlelighters children’s cancer charity. It amazes me how generous you all are and how you all continue to support whatever we do at the practice. Also lets not forget the biggest thank you and that goes to our wonderful patients who are always willing to bake, attend, donate and support everything we do... To be fair it’s a pretty amazing Practice 😍
