🌸Nurse Georgia🌸

Some goodbyes are harder than others, and this is definitely one of them..
Watching Georgia grow into the amazing nurse she is today has been such a special journey. From where she started to where she is now, seeing her confidence blossom, her skills develop and her beautiful caring nature shine has been something truly special. She has worked so hard, overcome challenges, learnt so much and grown in ways that make us all incredibly proud.

But what makes Georgia truly special goes far beyond her nursing skills. It’s the connections she has built with her patients and their families. The nervous little patients she has helped feel safe, the familiar faces who have come to know and trust her, the cuddles, the gentle reassurance and the comfort she has given to families during some of their hardest moments.

Georgia, You have grown into a compassionate, capable and beautiful person who makes a difference simply by being you. It has been a privilege to watch you grow, and we hope you realise just how much you have achieved and how many lives you have touched along the way.

It’s bittersweet watching someone you care about spread their wings. As much as we wish we could keep you here, we know that growth sometimes means taking a leap of faith and embracing new opportunities. We hope you carry with you all the confidence, knowledge, memories and love you have gained along the way, and always remember the incredible nurse you have become. We love you George 💛

💙Farewell to our one and only Daniel💙

It’s never easy saying goodbye to someone who has brought so much laughter, happiness and life into the workplace. Daniel, you’ve been such a special part of our team, and it’s hard to imagine our shifts without your jokes, your banter, and your ability to make absolutely everyone laugh, even on the hardest days.

You’ve made ordinary days memorable and created so many moments that we’ll look back on and smile about for years. You have an ability to make people feel comfortable, and bring everyone together. The laughs won’t be quite as loud, the shifts won’t be quite as entertaining, and there will be a definite Daniel- shaped hole in our team.

As sad as we are to see you leave, we know you will continue to do great things and wish you nothing but the best in your next adventures. It has been an absolute pleasure to have you on the team, and anyone who has the chance to know you, knows how truly special you are.

Thankyou for being YOU, Daniel you’ll be missed more than words can say. And while this might be the end of one chapter, we hope it’s beginning of something amazing for you.

Woke won’t be the same without you legend, you’ll always have us cheering you on.
With lots of love - Westlakes team 💙❤️

🐾🩺Training day at Westlakes🩺🐾

On Monday, we had the fantastic nurse Melanie Reddy in with the team for an anaesthetic troubleshooting season. We tackled recognising problems early, what our monitoring is telling us and most importantly what we can do about it.

Thankyou Melanie for making our team feel even more confident and for the awesome afternoon of education.
