Have to say the portraits add a really human touch where so often hospitals have rather anonymous neutral artwork on the walls. One nurse said she loved going to see them in her break. Find them on the level 1 corridor near Outpatients West. @_katelightfoot

At @UniofBradford this morning to speak to students about @BiBresearch placements and bumped into one of our former placement students who is now a Research Associate at the university. Fantastic to see how the hands on research experience equips students for the future!

Young people empowered themselves this half term, using their voice to question the decision makers in Bradford on the things they find the most important. They shared their career aspirations and showed us how the future should be shaped. Thank you to everyone who took part.

Today was the first of our monthly intern training days. It was brilliant to hear how much our placement students have been up to in their first three weeks with us and do some paper plane based team building! ✈️

Visited @tarlyn's studio yesterday. So wonderful to see all of her Age of Wonder: Teenage Stories portraits all together. These portraits are made annually and document young people's journeys through adolescence.
