Amazing! Max joins Mr Hasan’s patients to celebrate his award!
World-leading cardiac surgeon Asif Hasan was surrounded by the children who received the gift of life thanks to his unerring skills at the emotional climax of another memorable Pride of Britain ceremony. 🥹 Now 70 years old, Mr Hasan has just retired after 35 years of service at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, but just after receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award, he had an extra special surprise: a cast of patients who would not be alive without him. ❤️

8 years after his Child of Courage Award, Max was back on the Pride of Britain stage to surprise Mr Hasan, the surgeon who saved his life twice. 💛 Over 8,000 people are waiting for an organ. Please record your decision on the NHS Organ Donor Register and @PrideOfBritain

Podcast with Emma Johnson about her book Golden Heart. Describes her son's dilated cardiomyopathy, the heart transplant surgery that saved his life, the interaction with the donor's family, and the campaign to make organ donation the default. @BookHeart thepodcastbrowser.com/a-gold…

When vaccines blunted their impact, we forgot the fear of the disease, and in our comfort, people began to forget why we needed the vaccines in the first place.

We wish we could eradicate ‘just a’ from NHS vocabulary. Every single person plays their part, and it couldn’t happen without everyone.

We now know, thanks to @C4Dispatches and ⁦@thetimes⁩, that: Taxpayers’ money from gov depts and the NHS goes to the Duchy of Lancaster. It funded the late Queen and now the King. This private wealth helped settle Andrew’s legal case. telegraph.co.uk/royal-family…

Apparently the NHS will pay the King’s duchy £11m over 15 years to rent a warehouse for ambulances...it is being charged 67% more than the previous tenants paid.

With #MaskAbuse on the rise, this is difficult reading for people who rely on masks for safety. Masks should be protected in the law, just as religious clothing is. If you don't know why, read it with the substitutions in place – as an alternative no one would write! 1/

Huge thank you to @doctor_oxford for joining us at #GoodGriefWeston last night to talk about her work and her wonderful new book 'The Story of a Heart'. Such a rich and moving discussion, I'm not sure there was a dry eye in the house.
