Valerie Oliver-Davies JP, Governor of Hereford Cathedral School
Wednesday 6th May 2009.
From the moment Dame Kelly arrived, she was keen to work, and find out all the details relating to the school and how this development was achieved. Dame Kelly was interested and a delight to speak with.
We were in no way prepared for what a great speech she would make to the children. Hereford Cathedral was packed with 600 pupils and staff, and she held us all transfixed with her speech. It was inspirational. Her presentation style was relaxed, she walked around and really engaged with the pupils; the question and answer session went down really well.
Dame Kelly then went to the junior school to meet the 3-7 year old children, who were equally excited and dreamt up some great questions which were again handled with ease by Dame Kelly. Her whole style was so genuine with the children, which is what the whole day was about.
The adults had a opportunity to speak with and ask autographs of Dame Kelly at the lunch, at which she made time for everyone. If we hadn’t called a halt to the autograph signings, I think she would have stayed all day.
We had a truly memorable day, and would like to thank Dame Kelly for making it such a happy occasion.
Rachel Munton, Executive Director of Nursing and Allied Health Professionals (AHP)
Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust
‘Thank you to Dame Kelly Holmes for being a truly inspirational guest speaker at the second in our series of nurse master classes. She really connected with the nurses and was a real embodiment of the word ‘motivation’, leaving her audience thoroughly stimulated with a self belief that you can achieve anything if you believe in yourself.
Over 200 nurses from the county attended the event, which is led by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust with the support of the other local health organisations. An initiative created to provide an opportunity for networking and development of nurses from different healthcare settings, with the ultimate aim of improving care for patients.’
