25 yrs ago today I started a new job @UHBTherapy as a newly qualified physio. Didn’t think I’d still be here now! New building,a gazillion new colleagues, a pandemic &huge changes in practise. I’ve lived here longer than I’ve lived anywhere else but still a southerner at heart!

It’s raining outside but inside we rehab! Made this patient’s day to be able to cycle with his BiVAD, to make him feel he is doing something “normal” @Tx_VAD_physio @UHBTherapy @UHBCriticalCare #OrganDonationWeek

We’re so sad to hear that the UK’s longest surviving heart transplant patient, Steve Syer, has died.
Steve lived for over 38 years after his transplant, and we’ll remember him as an incredible champion of organ donation. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-gl…
