'To call 2020 the year of the unexpected, I believe, would be an understatement and an injustice.'
I've written this piece for @bowelcanceruk to share the journey my fiancé Robert & I have been on with #bowelcancer since September.

It's been a long weekend on call, 2 lengthy (but successful) call-outs. Shift tomorrow then off to Prague on Wednesday for Invasive Physiology & Intravascular Imaging training thanks to @PhilipsHealth 🤩
I couldn't love my job any harder if I tried 🫀🥹
We are so proud to have raised £3416 for @TheBHF ❤️
On 7th June, a team of us from @TorbaySDevonNHS Cath Lab trekked 26 miles around the South Devon Coast. It was tough but we kept each other motivated; smiling & laughing through the rain (& pain 😅!).
Very proud 🥰

🚨 Torbay’s Coronary Services Must Stay! 🚨
The fight to protect Torbay’s PPCI coronary services is far from over. Moving this life-saving heart attack treatment 24 miles away to Exeter will create dangerous delays in emergency care—putting lives at risk.
I’m urging local health bosses to rethink this plan, but I need your help. Every name added to the petition sends a powerful message—our community deserves accessible, urgent healthcare right here in Torbay.
🖊 If you haven’t signed the petition yet, please do so today! Together, we can make sure Torbay residents continue to receive the care they need—when and where they need it most.
I learnt nothing from last year's charity hike.
Tomorrow we go again.
This year to raise funds for @TheBHF 🫀 accompanied by my cardiology colleagues!

Please donate 🙏🏻 and pray for our safe return!

Alongside fellow local Lib Dem MPs, I’ve written to the Devon Integrated Care Board to formally urge them not to proceed with the Test of Change that would move primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (pPCI) procedures to Exeter.
Torbay’s cardiologists have shared serious concerns about this proposal, and I believe patient safety must come first. I’ve called for a more inclusive approach—one that fully consults with Torbay & South Devon NHS Trust (TSDFT) before making decisions that could impact lives.
This fight isn’t over. We need accountability and a health system that listens to the experts on the front lines.

Sickening that a company who paid out huge bonuses then had to pay fines and compensation to customers due to a Cryptosporidium outbreak via their poorly maintained infrastructure are now stealing that money right back out of the pockets of their victims.

Worried about plans to move critical heart services from Torbay Hospital to Exeter? 💔 I am too! Doctors say minutes matter in these emergencies. That's why I've launched a petition to STOP this move and protect patient safety. Add your name and let's make our voices heard! ➡️

Today I have pressed the Health Secretary with an urgent question, requesting he meet with me and other local MPs to discuss the proposed relocation of coronary services from Torbay Hospital to Exeter.
I'm deeply concerned this move risks patient safety for Torbay residents. I'm disappointed that my request for a meeting was declined.
I'm now demanding meetings with local health bosses to directly address these concerns.

I've raised serious concerns about proposed changes to Torbay and South Devon Cardiology Services. 🚨
I'm demanding an urgent briefing and data on the decision to temporarily move out-of-hours PPCI services to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital.
Patient care MUST be the priority, and services need to stay at Torbay Hospital. #SaveOurServices #TorbayHospital #Cardiology 🏥

MP concerned over proposed change to cardiac care bbc.in/4jSvmGa
My closest auntie died suddenly 2 weeks ago, my Uncle (her husband) has been told he has metastatic cancer with months to live and I've spent the whole day in an ambulance with my elderly Grandad.
How's 2025 treating you? 🫠
Beautiful surprise for my Birthday tomorrow from the best team 🥹🥰❤️
My heart is so full 😭🫰🏻 I love organising activities for our team, we've become such a close-knit group and our socials are very well loved. Seeing them all happy and smiling is the best gift 🥹
Spent yesterday in Bristol with the 2 girls who were by my side throughout our nursing degree!
True friendship stands the tests of distance and time. It may have been a year since we were last together but it felt like we've never been apart 🥹
My cup, and heart, is so full ❤️

Returned to my old school today to give a talk on the various routes into Nursing.
So encouraging to see so much enthusiasm from prospective future nurses 🙏🏻
It's been a long week...today topped it. FIVE...yes FIVE...PPCIs in 12hrs 🫣
But I did pull my first femoral sheath successfully this week 🤩
Here we go again...this time for @TheBHF ❤️🫀
I've convinced a team of my wonderful Cardiology/Cath Lab colleagues to join me next year on a 26 mile 'stroll' around the South Devon Coast!
Lots of fundraising ideas incoming! Watch this space 🤩
@TorbaySDevonNHS
Please donate what you can, big or small, we would be very grateful. It is going to be a long 9 months of training walks and fundraising efforts but it will all be worth it for this great cause 🫀❤️
