Yesterday evening, as part of our activities to mark the anniversary of the first lockdown, we lit up our buildings to celebrate our staff. Here are a couple of photos of the Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy. 💙

🗣️"The children loved moving around and getting involved with bandaging, observations, getting ready for theatre." 36 youngsters made the journey to the Vic today to dress up in modern nursing uniform and learn more about the modern nurse, midwife and AHP.

We've had a furry little visitor on our Children's Ward...🐕 The fantastically named Jilli Mowat popped in for a wander round our young patients - she even had her own wee pass made up so she could get through security! #loveyournhsfife

It's been a very Scottish send off for Dr Schwanny at Queen Margaret Hospital. Dr Schwanny has been working as Anaesthetist in Fife for the last three years but leaves us to return home to Iraq. The theatres team presented him with a series of gifts to celebrate his time in Fife

The Clinical Research Facility at the Victoria Hospital has been renamed the Amanda Wood Clinical Research Facility. The naming marks the huge contribution of one of the driving forces behind R&D in Fife. 🔬 📲

Porters are often the unsung heroes in the NHS, but the work they do is invaluable. This letter we received from a grateful patient shines a light on the positive impact they have on care, and the difference they make to improving the patient experience 👌 #loveyournhsfife

****Calling NHS Fife Staff**** Do you or any of your family, close friends have access to a 4x4 vehicle? Can we ask if you/ they can assist each other to get to our healthcare sites or back home? Thanks to everyone who has assisted us so far!
