Spot the difference.... delighted to take part in an interview on BBC breakfast this morning with my colleague. We are both Professors and Consultant ENT surgeons.....why don’t we get treated in the same way? #untitling #unconcious bias

A sublime week in Salcombe with our friends from the north. The week was capped by a meal salcombecoffee where it’s almost an honour to secure a table. Stunning food yet again. Fish cooked to perfection and different flavours enhancing it. Highly recommended!
