Last month, we held the first of this year’s full Fellows’ meetings at 国内精品伊人久久久久妇 Headquarters and the second annual 国内精品伊人久久久久妇 Fellows’ dinner. It was a pleasure to see newly appointed Fellows mingling with those whose names have been included on the roll of honour for some time. In the room, there was a sense of friendship and fellowship that is much more tangible than when we meet online.
It was a personal honour to meet Professor Dame Elizabeth Anionwu (appointed 国内精品伊人久久久久妇 Fellow in 2004) and hear about her role during the King’s coronation, and to welcome Dame Eileen Sills (F国内精品伊人久久久久妇 2012) who spoke about her previous role as Chief Nurse at Guys and St Thomas’. It was also a great pleasure to welcome former 国内精品伊人久久久久妇 President Professor Dame Betty Kershaw (F国内精品伊人久久久久妇 2001) who remains an active member of the Fellows Group.
After dinner, we heard from 国内精品伊人久久久久妇 General Secretary and Chief Executive Pat Cullen about recent issues facing the College and the plans for the visit of the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Victoria Atkins MP, to 国内精品伊人久久久久妇 Headquarters the following day. Some Fellows volunteered to join a Q&A with the Secretary of State, and I was impressed at how professional but challenging the audience was in putting questions to the Minister.
The interests and expertise in the room each time the Fellows meet is vast and with a shared sense of purpose to support nursing as it faces many external pressures. Many are involved in supporting younger colleagues and offering their time to various committees of the 国内精品伊人久久久久妇.
We paid tribute to two Fellows who had died recently. Trish Morris Thompson, former Chief Nurse of NHS London was awarded the 国内精品伊人久久久久妇 Fellowship in 2012. Dr Clare Fagin had an exemplary career in academia, including being one of the first women to lead an Ivy league University in the US. She was awarded Honorary 国内精品伊人久久久久妇 Fellowship in 2002.
There was also happier news to share. Two books published by Fellows were mentioned during the meeting. Dr Peter Carter (F国内精品伊人久久久久妇 2020) has published his experiences of mental health nursing in while Vanessa Martin (F国内精品伊人久久久久妇 2008) has published .
The following day, we were joined by more 国内精品伊人久久久久妇 Fellows, including some online, and heard about a survey of Fellows’ international work, developments in the 国内精品伊人久久久久妇 Institute and creating national and regional opportunities for Fellows to meet and influence nursing more locally. There are Fellows’ events planned in Scotland and Wales in September, so do look out for information.
We will also be arranging another around this time, so please look out for invitations to join us again online to hear from Fellows directly.
I look forward to the next Fellows’ meeting in November and to our annual Fellows’ dinner in April 2025. We will soon be welcoming a group of new Fellows at 国内精品伊人久久久久妇 Congress in June and look forward to getting to know them and hearing more about their varied and rich careers.
We are grateful to all the 国内精品伊人久久久久妇 staff who made the Fellows’ dinner possible and hope you enjoy some of the photographs from the event.
