Hi. How are you? Hope you're having a great day! We will now be taking a breather from posting for the next 2 months! This pause will allow us to listen more to you. However, we're not going away or stopping any of our activities with schools! Later this week, you'll see a POLLS Highlight appear in our profile. Over the next 2 months, we'll be listening to you and you'll have the chance to tell us more of your thoughts and opinions. This will include your opinions on future post content, university advice and many more topics. So keep checking for our stories or turn on the notification bell and tell us your thoughts as we post the polls. But if you miss them, they'll be saved in our highlights! In the meantime, we hope that you enjoy the remainder of this term and have a great summer holiday.

Specialist Paramedic Porter Speech & Language Therapist Over the next 5 weeks, we'll be highlighting other NHS values and the roles that readily fit these values through their responsibilities. @nhsengland @nhshee
