Today, we would like to take a moment to celebrate the life of Jules Wyman and the lasting contribution she made to AfPP and our community.

Over many years, Jules shared her knowledge, warmth and wisdom with us, whether through her inspirational conference presentations or writing for the IPP.

Affectionately known as our very own ‘Coach on the Couch’, Jules wrote the first wellbeing piece in AfPP's Innovation, People and Practice (IPP) magazine and went on to contribute five articles in 2020. She explored subjects that resonate with so many of us, from imposter syndrome and confidence, to looking after our own wellbeing. At the heart of Jules’ writing was a desire to help others.

📢New hoodies and T-shirts now available to buy NOW! 📢

Too often, medical professionals describe being seen as “just a nurse”, “just an ODP”, “just a student”, “just a healthcare assistant” or “just a doctor”.

In perioperative practice, there is no such thing as "just". Every voice matters. Every role makes a difference. Every person has a part to play in keeping patients safe.

This is why we launched our campaign – and the response has been overwhelming.

Show your support for our campaign with our exclusive hoodies and T-shirts - and help champion a culture where everyone feels empowered to speak up.

Not just a hoodie. Not just a T-shirt. A reminder that every member of the perioperative team has a voice that matters.
