CCOT, Katies Davis and @jill_bradley_ have led this work at the Homerton Hopsital and it has been a privilege to work alongside them. Seeing such a positive step for patients has been a joy. Thank you for having me and Waki Terranaka along for the ride.

Amazing scenes at the launch of ‘Call 4 Concern’ today @NHSHomerton . Thank you so much for our Chief nurse @mcmanusb Medical Director and Chairman, Sir John Gieve for stopping by!!!

What is Call for Concern you say? I am glad you asked….🧵

[Letty Dormandy @Lettydormandy]

Call for Concern is a patient safety initiative that aims to help patients and families call for help and advice when they feel worried that they or their loved one is more unwell.

Last year I was told off for calling this ‘an exciting opportunity’ so let’s just say My Chief registrar year has impacted my career more than any other…

🧵

[Letty Dormandy @Lettydormandy]

I learnt how to lead a team and make sustainable change for the better…

I worked with great colleagues, was respected and valued (All the things that are too often missing from the junior doctor experience)….

Many NHS doctors are striking from 3 to 9 January. 📆 Hear from Paul Gilluley, our Chief Medical Officer about how the NHS can help you during the strikes.

[Letty Dormandy @Lettydormandy]

Could not agree more- colleagues pulling together to make it possible. Thank you all!!!

[carlo prina @carloprina]

In somewhere small and special like @NHSHomerton it takes all consultants to help cover in the absence of our other colleagues and everyone has changed their days and prioritised this work- this ain’t easy and comes at a cost when you see the to do list but it is very special

[Letty Dormandy @Lettydormandy]

Fabulous fun at the medicine festive bake off this afternoon- serious judging of some phenomenal entries and plenty of chocolate to enjoy
