Two mental health nurses have been honoured for their work by being awarded the title of Queen’s Nurse.

Sarah Sanders and Jenny Walker, from Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, received the honour from Dame Elizabeth Anionwu, The Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI) Vice President and Patron of the Mary Seacole Trust, and Professor John Unsworth OBE, Chair of Council, The QNI, at a ceremony at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel in London.

The benefits of music for wellbeing, particularly for people living with dementia, has been a big thread through older people’s services at Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust (NSFT). A new webinar on Wednesday, 4 December (5.30-6.15pm via Teams) will give members of the public the chance to find out more about one aspect of the work NSFT has been involved in.

NSFT has become the first mental health NHS trust in the UK to be awarded the Menopause Friendly Workplace accreditation.

And young people who have been involved in participation have talked about their experiences on a new podcast out this week in NSFT’s Mental Health and You series.

NSFT teams took to the stage to showcase a variety of 20-week projects at its first Listening into Action (LiA) Pass It On event.
