Still in shock! I am so honoured to win Obstetrician and Gynaecologist of the year at #BHA2024 What an amazing evening celebrating so many wonderful clinicians who are not only surviving differential attainment and systemic racism but absolutely thriving @cahn_uk @kateko_idiegbe
My nephew died in January of an incurable mitochondrial disease, he was 4 months old and his name was Otto. He was truly perfect🤍 The wonderful Maternity Team at Hywel Dda have raised over £2000 in his honour for The Lily Foundation to help find a cure.
