#Measles can be a serious infection that can lead to complications, especially in young children & those with weakened immune systems. Measles spreads easily but it is preventable. Make sure you & your loved ones are up to date with your #MMR jabs or catch up on any missed jabs.

And all of that is why, 12 years ago, I resigned as a Consultant Paediatric Surgeon. I had NO job, NO idea what would happen or where I would go but I knew that all that was better than staying. I was broken. @SheffChildrens repaired the broken bowl #kinsugi

Bringing my accountability ladder back out - where are you with any given decision? Too many people sit at “wait and hope”….
