A truly inspirational little girl - and what a privilege to work alongside the teams that helped her recovery
In March 2023 Aiyla was admitted to St Mary’s Hospital.
She was diagnosed with sepsis and multiple organ failure and had to have both of her legs and five fingers amputated to save her life.
We are so proud she was recently recognised as part of the @PrideOfBritain awards 💙

A truly incredible man. Privileged to have worked with him.
In memory of Malcolm Donaldson (1949-2024)
Highly respected paediatric consultant and research fellow, brilliant actor, musician and singer, supporter of children’s books and loving husband of author Julia Donaldson
We will miss our friend greatly and will treasure the memories

The system is broken - as a Paediatrician I should not have to spend so much time trying to advocate for my patients’ education. We are letting down a generation.

Happy changeover day to all the Paediatricians rotating today! Always a bittersweet time to say goodbye to those moving on but looking forward to getting to know a new team and welcome back some familiar faces @ImperialNHS @WLCH_NHS #PaedsRocks
So sad to hear this - I absolutely loved my time training in Glasgow. Nothing makes me realise how long I’ve been a doctor like how many hospitals I’ve worked in have been demolished

This is so important. Showing our vulnerability can also be one of our greatest strengths.
As I began to talk about my experience of burnout & mental illness as a doctor,
Others started sharing their stories too.
I'd never been alone after all.
This article is my way of saying
You aren't alone either.

As children in Scotland go back to school today, it’s a timely reminder of strategies that can help autistic children and young people with the transition 👇🏻
Thanks @Autism

17th September will be an incredibly poignant day. The statistics are truly shocking - we need to do all we can to reverse this pattern and support healthcare staff. It is important that we honour those we have lost.
On 17th September, NHS Practitioner Health and @DoctorsDistress are holding the UK’s first annual National Suicide Memorial Day for Health and Care Workers.
Since 2011, 2500 NHS staff have died by suicide- that’s four healthcare workers every week.
Speaking at the Wounded Healer conference, Dr Helen Garr, medical director of NHS Practitioner Health, said: “One death is too many. Healthcare workers who have lost their lives to suicide deserve to be remembered in a significant and national way.”
On this memorial day, we want people to take a moment and reflect on healthcare staff who have died by suicide so that their lives can be honoured and remembered in a special way. Whether it is having a moment of reflection, a minute’s silence or lighting a candle in remembrance, we must ensure their lives are never forgotten.
