Thanks to the great team of examiners, clinic staff from OPD2 @NHS_Lothian and @RCPEdin exam team who made our first run of the @MRCPUK PACES exam at RIE go so smoothly. Really appreciate you all giving up your weekend.

After day @UHD_NHS as @DocMattThomas, refilling crew H2O supplies at @PooleLifeboats. Contactless not working in the shop / no cash on me. Leaving empty handed, when the man behind me paid for it all. Human kindness never to be underestimated. Thankyou.

A rainbow over Poole Lifeboat Station whilst the crew are called to a Mayday at low tide. Hopefully a good luck sign for all involved.

Sign of the times. Hand sanitiser and helmet ready to go. Please follow advice so they don't need to be used.

My alter ego, @DocMattThomas, was wearing scrubs yesterday, kindly provided by Phil and Carol from @PooleLifeboats visits team. After weeks of proudly leading @Poole_Hospital medical response it was time to get my hands dirty.
