We had another cracker of a Staff Forum at #RBWH, with #TeamRoyal inviting Mick Donaldson to chat in honour of ANZAC Day. Mick has a distinguished military background and is now the Chief Adventure Officer of The Adventure Group International!
I thoroughly enjoyed Mick's stories and how he spoke about the values of the SAS and linked it back to the values we might expect of us as a member of #TeamRoyal. Thank you!
