43 years ago today, Miriam Palk started her journey into nursing and what a journey it has been.

The picture above is Miriam the week before she left home to begin her training, ready to embark on a career in which she has truly excelled.

And guess what? We’re incredibly lucky that her journey has brought her to ICG Medical, where she is our Chief Nurse.

Those of you who know Miriam will know that she takes on some of the most rewarding, but often intense, work day-to-day. She is calm under pressure, understanding when it matters and firm when it’s needed. Quite simply, we couldn’t do what we do without her.

Miriam, your passion for nursing after 43 years is genuinely inspiring. Thank you for everything you do for ICG Medical, for our people, and for the profession you clearly still love as much today as you did at 18.

Here’s to the next chapter and to many more years!

Today is International Youth Day, recognising the role young people play in shaping communities and building the future.

Across healthcare, the next generation will play an important part in how services develop and respond to changing patient needs.

From students taking their first steps into healthcare to newly qualified professionals developing their experience, creating environments where younger people can learn, contribute and progress helps strengthen the workforce for the future.

Today, we recognise young people everywhere and the potential they bring to healthcare and beyond.

August is National Wellness Month, encouraging us to think about the everyday choices that support our physical and mental wellbeing.

For healthcare professionals, looking after your own wellbeing can be particularly challenging when your working day is focused on caring for others.

Wellbeing doesn't always require a major lifestyle change. Taking proper breaks when possible, staying connected with others, getting enough rest and making time away from work can all contribute.

This National Wellness Month, take a moment to think about what helps you feel at your best, both inside and outside of work.

The Late August Bank Holiday may still be a few weeks away, but now is the time to start thinking about your staffing requirements.

Bank Holiday periods can place additional pressure on healthcare services as annual leave, changing patient demand and existing workforce pressures affect coverage.

Planning ahead gives healthcare organisations more time to identify potential gaps and secure the additional support they may need.

Medical Staffing works with healthcare organisations to provide flexible staffing support across a range of clinical settings.

Get in touch with our team to discuss your upcoming requirements.

Running a successful GP practice requires balancing two equally important priorities - supporting excellent patient care and maintaining efficient day-to-day operations.

Practice Managers help bring these priorities together by ensuring workforce planning, financial management, compliance and administration all support the delivery of safe and effective healthcare.

When operational processes work well, clinical teams can spend more time focusing on what matters most: their patients.
