It’s Christmas Day and the Chaplain (Sarah Crane 💚) and the Intensive Care Consultant (me) in Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS FT today have inadvertently dressed as the orange cream and coconut quality streets Merry Christmas everyone !

Absent relatives from the bedside in icu at the peak of the covid19 pandemic was possibly the most moral distressing part of the whole thing Joel Meyer MBE made it better for a whole lot of people through his work with the @lifelines_icu team A thoroughly well deserved MBE 👏

“Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow.” @Sallyshiels1 amongst the great speakers at the @OxCPD Macintosh day this morning in Oxford

Dr Peter Young (OBE) describing the “hierarchy of interventional effectiveness” when discussing innovations today at the Macintosh day @OxCPD #macday23

Getting to the “Success as a business”stage for a healthcare innovation can take ~ 17 years 🥲 says Peter Young… #macday23 @OxCPD
