After day @UHD_NHS as @DocMattThomas, refilling crew H2O supplies at @PooleLifeboats. Contactless not working in the shop / no cash on me.
Leaving empty handed, when the man behind me paid for it all.
Human kindness never to be underestimated.
Thankyou.

25 years to the day since I started @Poole_Hospital and still enjoying every moment, despite what this year has thrown at us. Great colleagues here and at @RBCH_NHS @TEDGeriatrics. Great to work with @RCPEdin and @AcuteFrailty and volunteer @PooleLifeboats @RNLI as @MattThom1964

A rainbow over Poole Lifeboat Station whilst the crew are called to a Mayday at low tide. Hopefully a good luck sign for all involved.

[Matt Thomas @MattThom1964]

Sign of the times. Hand sanitiser and helmet ready to go. Please follow advice so they don't need to be used.
