Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 18/04/2025We wrapped up our first camp of the season yesterday! Privileged to spend a week with the most incredible young people and volunteers creating endless mischief and magic. I’m lucky to be a part of such a dedicated, committed and adaptable team! 010
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 27/03/2025An incredible time so far at #RCPCH25 spreading the OTWC word. So many wonderful opportunities to share what we do and hopefully reach more families with our services! Lots of people interested in volunteering opportunities too. Very exciting! ☺️ 010
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Good morning! It’s day 1 of #RCPCH25 today. Looking forward to meeting everyone and sharing the Over The Wall Camp #mischiefandmagic 020
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 25/03/2025En route to Glasgow! Taking Over The Wall Camp to #RCPCH25 - come and say hello if you’re going to be there! Lots of opportunity to learn more about us and what we do. 010
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 24/01/2025As the week draws to a close I’m reflecting on celebrating one whole year working for OTWC. I’m privileged to work as part of such a dynamic and like-minded team to deliver the opportunities that we do to children and young people facing health challenges. Feeling very grateful right now. 020
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 20/01/2025I’ve been quiet on here! Anyway, our first round of residential camp place offers for our first three camps go out tomorrow. Blessed to think that there are some excited young people out there eagerly awaiting their place offer email! 💕 010
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 13/12/2024I’ve had a horrible headache by the end of the day for the past two days. I also realised earlier I haven’t used my Nespresso machine for two days. Are these two things linked? 😩 130

If you/your child is interested, please email me, Betül Bay 👇. And importantly, each hour of their contribution will be compensated! 022
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 10/12/2024I started my Baldurs Gate 3 run again because every time I learn more stuff in the game, I want to start again to apply what I’ve learnt. Let’s face it, I’m never finishing that game. 010
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Remember when schools labelled specific kids as “gifted and talented”? Do they still do that? 010
Reposted by GemmaEve Holroyd @eveholroyd.bsky.social · 08/12/2024Just managed to catch up on the ITV Tonight programme outlining challenges faced by hospices. Children’s hospices are a lifeline for families. Medical care only a fraction of what is on offer; mostly it’s about supporting living and creating safe spaces. 15% statutory funding just doesn’t cut it. 051
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 07/12/2024I really want to play Baldurs Gate 3 right now, but I’m so tired that I don’t think I’d last long. 000
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 07/12/2024I had an absolutely astounding night seeing Paul Heaton in Liverpool last night. Supported by The Zutons and the wonderful Danny Muldoon. What a line up! 000
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 02/12/2024There’s a lot of Stardew Valley on my Discover tab. Is this a safe space to admit that I’ve tried twice and just can’t get into the game? 010

Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 29/11/2024The Auto Reply is set up on Outlook for a week of annual leave so that I can celebrate successfully navigating another trip around the sun. 000
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 28/11/2024 I saw someone refer to #BlueSky as “new Twitter” and I don’t think I’m ok with that 🤷♀️ 010
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Is it normal to be getting genuine sensory overload because my other half is watching Oliver at such a wildly inhumane volume? 010

Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Thanks to those who have followed me so far! It’s helped me get started in building my feed by following others. Would love to receive recommendations on who else to follow. 010
Gemma @paedsnursegem.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Thought I’d take a wander over here and see what’s happening! My name is Gemma, I’m a paediatric nurse and I’m looking for other healthcare professionals and those with an interest in paediatrics to network with. I also appreciate funny things and pet pictures. 040
