Zoltan came to St Mary’s Hospital in July 2023 with severe crush injuries after being hit by a van.

A year later, he is pictured with Laura Burgess, the clinical lead physiotherapist overseeing his rehabilitation.

“Today is the first time that Zoltan is going to see his daughters and his family since the accident, so there is a lot riding on today to get him off the ward.”

Kirsty, major trauma rehabilitation co-ordinator @ImperialNHS

Zoltan’s determination on #C4Emergency is inspiring!
