s we are nearing the end of 2023, could I please take this opportunity to wish everyone
the very best for 2024. I cannot believe how quickly this year has passed — each year seems to go more quickly than the last. Before we leave 2023 and move into the new year, I would like you all to take some time to reflect on everything you have done this year — the many patients you have seen, the improvements you have made to care and your services, the challenges you may have encountered, the ‘thank you’ messages you have received and the enhancements you have made to so many people’s lives. It is always beneficial to reflect, as all too often we continue in our everyday work without having time to really think about everything we have achieved and the very real difference we have made. Please celebrate your work — you are appreciated so much.
