This month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and growth of every woman in our community. Every Filipina story is a journey of courage and empowerment—one that deserves to be heard and shared.

Planning activities during school holidays while managing your leave entitlement can be both challenging and rewarding — especially for Filipino nurses working in the UK. Whether you’re in the NHS, community nursing, or private hospitals, annual leave often isn’t enough to cover all the school breaks your children have, which makes careful planning even more important.

Para sa lahat ng OFWs sa UK: ang pagmamahal niyo, lampas sa distansya. This Valentine’s Day, sana maramdaman niyo kung gaano kayo ka-mahal, ka-miss, at ka-appreciated—ng mga taong pinaghihirapan niyo araw-araw. 💖

From hospital corridors to mountain trails, photography has become a powerful way for one nurse to tell stories of courage, hope, and quiet beauty.

I work as a Haemodialysis Nurse within the National Health Service, where compassion, precision, and patient-centred care are at the heart of what I do. Alongside my clinical role, I also pursue my passion as a UK-based professional freelance videographer and photographer, capturing meaningful moments and creating visually compelling content for both individuals and brands.

As a Surgical Care Practitioner, we provide support to the surgical team during the perioperative period. In our Trust, we primarily do bedside assisting for robotic-assisted procedures. We are rotated to different specialities that perform robotic procedures, so I make it a habit to check which list I'll be working on the day before.
