Last shift of IMT done - and it was a neurosurgical SHO night shift no less!! 😅 Feeling very excited to start infection training in 2 days!

Exciting to be able to share this publication - the fruit of the hard modelling labour of Tim Russell and a great collaboration between the Legacy study team at NIHR UCLH Biomedical Research Centre The Francis Crick Institute and London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine!

Night before my first weekend on call and… spending it at the urgent vets hoping Boontje vomits up all the string she ate tonight 😿 Apparently the plan is to spin her till she pukes (?!) - having major cat mum guilt rn!

Welp! After a freak fall while bouldering, here I am experiencing the other side of medicine! 🥲 Feeling extremely grateful for the amazing paramedics, doctors, nurses, porters, and radiographers who have helped me today!
