My colleagues and my friends help me fail better.
I am a better doctor because of it, as well as a better person.

Simple but so, so important if we want inclusive, brave and authentic teams! Onwards and upwards... we all make mistakes... it’s what you do about them that counts!!!🙌

[Maria Smith @maria_smith999]

Have been finding the new ERC guidelines today of interest. No major changes as expected but interesting specifics. Especially the importance of correct pad placement! Education, Education!! #RCUK5thMay #resus21 @AndyFoo7 @SimandResusglos @gloshospitals

We will miss you Alli. Glad you will be just next door giving amazing care.

[Acute Care Response Team 💙 @AcuteResponse]

One of the “original outreach” team - the lovely Alli has accepted a permanent position within our Acute Medical Unit as their Practice Development Nurse. We miss her dearly within the ACRT! What Alli doesn’t know... isn’t worth knowing. Good luck!

Superheroes behind the mask #14
Leon.
Porter.
Enormously helpful and genuinely ‘cares’ - Leon has raised nearly £2k for our charity through his own creative ideas. A real hero. Always delivers. Inspirational.
