From one extremely grateful apprentice- @Neil_J_Smart what an absolute legend, will be forever indebted for all you taught me! Your legacy will live on RIP
Our friend @Neil_J_Smart has given his
final lecture, the apprentices learning from his wise words, great times, & hard work - patients getting the very best. Legacy exists in the actions of those that follow & the stories continuing to be told & yes mate, “You did good” RIP
On #WorldPrematurityDay2024 forever grateful for the care we received @CV_UHB NICU last year when my son was born at 32 weeks / 2lbs 14oz #BornSmallButMighty #StillSmallerAndStillVeryMighty ❤️
Come and join our unit!
We're hiring a pelvic oncology fellow at the @SwanseabayNHS tertiary pelvic unit @SwanseaCRECT1, please RT! @ACPGBI @DUKES_CLUB @UKPEN__ @PelvExGroup @RACSurgeons jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/jobadv…
On #WorldPrematurityDay a huge thank you to the obstetric, NICU, paediatric cardiology, surgical & anaesthetic teams at @CV_UHB for looking after my brave boy born at 32 weeks in Sept. We received incredible care over the 6 weeks spent on NICU - now enjoying having him home 🩵
Today is #WorldPrematurityDay 💜
We know that the journey for families can last long after coming home from neonatal care.
That's why we’re proud to campaign for change, transform workplaces, educate schools, raise awareness and support families after neonatal intensive care

Thank you @bbchealth for highlighting the story of a patient suffering with hernia waiting since 2018 for an operation. Daily pain, inability to carry out daily activities, risk of obstruction/ strangulation. How on earth have we allowed this to be acceptable?! #itsNotJustAHernia
