The scariest thing as a parent is to have a sick child, being a doctor doesn’t make it easy. On Saturday, my 13yr old gradually became worse & I cannot fault the incredible team at @EmergencyStoke for managing his #AsthmaAttack despite being stretched on a busy weekend night

I got out of my comfort zone & did my first red carpet photo op for the @hellomag Inspiration Awards! It’s safe to say I didn’t know how to stand 😂 so unglamorous!

I did it!!! Set yourself a challenge. After a near drowning episode i was petrified of the water - its a fear i passed onto my sons - now as an independent swimmer- i’ve moved up to the medium lane at my pool and i can’t believe it! So go on - set yourself that challenge! 🙌🏽

Stop scrolling for a second. It’s just past 8am, I’m starting clinic. It’s been a long week and I’ve had some caffeine! 🤭 So before you move on … stay with me for a few seconds and sing 🎶 along 😄 #happybirthdaytime #thursdaymotivation

This quote from The Queen ignited my passion for Womens Health. The Queen is THE icon She showed with grace, poise, diplomacy, wisdom and with humour what a woman is capable of on the worlds stage. Thank you Ma’am for being my constant & an inspiration for caring for others 🕊

I get a lot of comments that I talk about “shameful” things when it comes to Womens Health- sadly sometimes from my own community🥺 But a message such as this ⤵️makes me feel I am doing alright💕

I ran 1hr:30min behind in my NHS surgery today. I was finding alternative HRT regimes, reviewing #HRT doses & managing other medical conditions. I am grateful that not one single patient complained but waited patiently for me to see them💕🙏🏽 #NHSGP #womenshealth #HRTshortages
