Cracking summer day out at the #Croft Historic Vehicle Festival yesterday, where #1 son was conducting Northallerton Silver Band. #NorthYorkshire

Always good when an interdisciplinary symposium starts with the experts discussing how to manage #AorticDissection patients like me! Looking forward to this. Aortic Dissection Awareness UK & Ireland THINK AORTA Global #AortaEd

Honoured to be invited to Dublin to open this event, by our host and our two Aortic Dissection Awareness UK & Ireland #Ireland representatives, Deirdre & Stuart. A day learning about #AorticDissection at the premises of Guinness Ireland sounds like just the ticket. #ADADIRL24

Enjoyed chatting with Lindsey Rusche and Simon Rose at School of Health Sciences UEA as a guest on the THINK AORTA Global podcast. Great to share our patient voices and insights via this medium.

An inspirational day in London yesterday with my #Marfan tribe, sharing stories & tips about self-advocacy at the Living Better with Marfans, Loeys-Dietz & vEDS Symposium. Thank you TheMarfanFoundation & Marfan Trust for inviting me to speak. THINK AORTA Global Aortic Dissection Awareness UK & Ireland Terumo Aortic

Mrs. O. and I had a really good day at this...

In Ep2 Pt2 of the #THINKAORTA podcast, our Chair Gareth Owens talks about the impact of our life-saving #THINKAORTA campaign, which we launched in partnership with Royal College of Emergency Medicine, SCTS UK and Heart Research UK in 2018. #AortaEd #patientsafety

I cannot wait to hear this #AorticDissection story... 🙂#ADADUK24 #THINKAORTA #AortaEd

Good to hear Tara Mastracci talking about the importance of #Aortic multidisciplinary teams at IADS. I'm convinced that the Barts Aortic Surgery MDT approach is the reason I have such a good outcome from acute complex Type B #AorticDissection in #Marfan syndrome, 8 years on. ❤️

There's a real buzz about improving #AorticDissection patient care at IADS. Great to catch-up during lunch at the "top-of-the-world" with Rachel Bell of Vascular Society and Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT), who is doing so much to advance the cause.

Grateful for the warm welcome by UK-AS for the Patient Agenda that I presented on behalf of Aortic Dissection Awareness UK & Ireland. We have an effective patient-clinician partnership that is driving improvements in #Aortic surgery care and outcomes, as well as high-quality, national #TAD research.

This new development in the global THINK AORTA Global campaign that I lead means a lot to me, personally, as a #Marfan #AorticDissection patient. I'm looking forward to what we can achieve with the help of Bert Medina, Michael L. Weamer and the team at TheMarfanFoundation.

Great to be interviewed live on AHTV yesterday by my good friend Carin Andersen of Aortic Hope, for #AorticDissection Awareness Week. Our chat covers the work of Aortic Dissection Awareness UK & Ireland & THINK AORTA Global & how patient leaders are collaborating globally to tackle #Aortic disease. #AortaEd

Really looking forward to #AorticDissection Awareness Day Ireland at St James's Hospital next Monday.

This makes me very happy ❤️
