We are wishing Amy Garner a big warm welcome to the team in Exeter. First day today!
Very pleased you came to join us here as part of the Knee Team.

“To the level of a Day 1 Consultant” is a phrase that became so familiar during my training. Well…. Today is that day.

Honoured and privileged to be joining the team at the Exeter Knee Reconstruction Unit.

I think it is finally ok to call myself a ‘knee surgeon’

Children learn bias & prejudice to eg disability, ethnicity, gender, sexuality etc from adults. From us.

They. Don’t. See. It. Until we point it out.

So please stop pointing it out. Instead show understanding, acceptance & kindness.

Thank you.

I’m going to miss this team.

The NHS can be a brutal place to work at times, but great colleagues and laughing at work make it completely worthwhile.

Quite overwhelmed by the send off I’ve had today.

Thank you Oxford

Remembering my colleagues who died, they were young, they were healthy, they went to work to help others, they were paid pittance, they left grieving children behind.

To those children, those bereaved medical families - I’m so sorry.

Just wrapped-up a thought-provoking panel discussion on gender representation in surgical specialties at Beyond the Conventional Surgical Conference. Thanks to Jumainah Fardaus for moderating & setting the tone for an engaging conversation! #surgery #equity #diversity #inclusion

This!

My male colleagues rarely, if ever, need to explain that they are the surgeon and that they actually do the operation. Hence, happy to go by first names.

Ask any female surgeon and she knows!

Untitling is infuriating. Every team member “Mr”… me: “Amy” (apparently!)
