Crank Hugh is looking plume-ing marvellous on his arrival at the Freeman Institute of Transplantation
Our marvellous cake was baked for us, thanks to Lara, by GBBO winner Matty Edgell
Our cake didn’t last long with 18 hungry Cranks around
Go Hugh!
Go Matty (& Lara)!
Go Cranks!
12 days earlier Luca & Ged were in Beds 5 & 6 at Wythenshawe TC
This demonstrates the recuperative power of the Jim Quick Ward team
Luca’s famous quotes:
“Don’t worry Mum, I’m only riding the first two miles, honest”
107 miles later – “Well I enjoyed that” 😂
Go Team Jim Quick!
Great to be at @UKParliament today highlighting #heartfailure and @BSHeartFailure#25in25 campaign BSH Chair Lisa Anderson spoke of the need to detect heart failure earlier and to prevent it. Thanks to @AbbottNews for supporting, MPs and patients Ged and Bob for their stories
@JimQuickMFT@TntTracy73@Michaela0895@vikki_warman@MFTnhs Congratulations and a big shout out to every member of the team on Jim quick ward. They are a brilliant team without whom we wouldn’t see the successes of our transplant and VAD programme. Well deserved recognition! 👏
I'd be really grateful if any LVAD patients were able to help George with his study please. He is researching the factors that help adjustment to living well with LVAD.

Super-VADs Ian & Luca triumphantly abseiled the 19-storey Manchester Hyatt Regency Hotel
Ian's 'bounce & drop' technique caused the exterior panels to flex inwards & then 'boom' outwards like a giant bass drum
A loud 'STOP BOUNCING!' command from above soon slowed Ian's descent😂
Crank Hugh here modelling his bespoke design Newcastle Electric Cranks t-shirt & both are looking good
How long until the other UK H&L Transplant Centres have their own very 1st Electric Crank?
Free bespoke design tshirt for each centre's pioneer - what are you waiting for?
@andywoods27 @VADCoordinator@CongressEums@HajjJennifer@AngelaWashenko Very thoughtful compilation of topics Andy and a session well run. Generated good discussions and awareness. As vad coordinators we have our work cut out to take the centre stage.
Attached is our Electric Cranks ebook, a collection of our Twitter posts
