This is the sweetest 🥹
My kid explaining my job as a Breast physician to the younger one: “All the body cells make a cake every day. But one decides to change the recipe & the cake’s horrible! Mummy has to find which cell & what ingredient has changed the recipe ASAP before the other cells copy it!”

When out on placement, seeing a familiar fury friend, can be the surprise you didn’t know you needed. Buddy & Teddy show our families so much calm and comfort 🐶🧸💙 @GreatOrmondSt

I went to my sons school play. The last time I went to a play he was in mainstream & sat on his own while his class did the play. Today he was so involved & happy. What a difference it makes to be settled & in the correct setting (yes I’m the mum who cried 😅) #Autism

Paddington bear is chief of all bears! Incredible job @spreadasmileuk & Marina 🐻⛑️
To brighten your Monday, take a look at this brilliant mural painted by Marina our Head of Art in the Bear Play Room @GreatOrmondSt Art is a great way of brightening hospital spaces and helping to distract and engage. We hope it makes the children, families and staff smile.

At the moment we start labour ward handover with an update of what equipment we’re missing. Recent hits include: blood culture bottles, amnihooks, theatre drapes, sterile gloves <7.5, forceps 😬😬 plus shortages of blood, TXA, synto…not to mention midwives…

The hot weather is making me think I need to wash everything just because it will dry. Having to stop myself shoving the guinea pigs in the machine.
