Today has been really hard for everyone in Royal Glam. I have witnessed such compassionate care from our nursing/other staff & everyone doing their best. A huge thanks to our neighbouring hospitals & WAST. Please get behind us and we will come back from this stronger than ever.
At 18 my mock & AS grades wouldn’t have got me into medical school
At 36 I’m a Consultant Physician & Assistant Medical Director in one of the largest health boards in Wales
I am one of many examples. Our young people are our future.

I can hardly speak at this interview. I am so emotional. I am so proud of our workforce especially our nursing staff who are with our patients day in day out. I am so proud of you all

A man who was one of the first patients to be treated for coronavirus at a Llantrisant hospital has had an emotional reunion with the doctor who helped save his life
@DrNezCon
So pleased to have been appointed at Cardiff as a Consultant in Acute Medicine.
The last 8 years at the Glam have been absolutely fantastic & I have loved every minute.
And the Rhondda. The patients. They are salt of the earth.
The Glam will forever have a place in my heart.
The last few weeks for the RGlam Consultants
@CwmTafMorgannwg
has been tough.
The A&E discussions floods & the concern re Covid_19.
This has brought us all together. We are one fantastic team. I’m sure we will provide more support, collaboration & friendship in the weeks to come
Thank you so much to the domestic staff in the Royal Glamorgan
@CwmTafMorgannwg
(especially Jackie) who had this beautiful cake made for me. The whole A&E team thoroughly enjoyed it.
You guys are amazing team and thoroughly appreciated by us all.
Amazing news...
You don’t know the meaning of the word community until you’ve worked in the South Wales Valleys! And what a community it is.
This was the right decision for the community, patients and staff of the (magnificent) Royal Glamorgan 🧡

@CwmTafMorgannwg
In 2 years so much has happened- it almost shut, the pandemic & two amazing Doctors passed away in the space of a few months. Gwyn & Brad forever in my thoughts. I loved working with you both 💙💙
Just want to say how proud I am of everyone who whorls for
@CwmTafMorgannwg

Last day of annual leave 🥰(although I don’t work Fridays!) I’ve needed this break more than any other to recharge my batteries.
If you haven’t taken any leave since March then PLEASE book it. Strongly encouraging all my
@CwmTafMorgannwg
colleagues (& elsewhere) to do the same.
Thinking of all those families today who lost someone they love to COVID. A huge thanks to all the amazing staff of

I have found my secret vocation- hairdressing! ✂️ 💇♂️
Cut both my big and little boys hair yesterday and they loved it. Can’t believe how chuffed my hubby is and that George sat still! And I found it so therapeutic ❤️
The RGH acute medicine team would be absolutely lost without these 3… our amazing ANP, SAS Dr and PA.
I love a blended workforce ❤️
@SarenaThakkar
@CwmTafMorgannwg
Just caught up on
@BBCCasualty
. Accurate and emotional. Brought back many memories of the first patient and the first conversations with families.
The fight really still goes on. Please stay at home and stay safe.
In the hairdressers and having to pay £1 for a mask. Why didn’t they just tell me to bring one? I’m so annoyed to be paying for PPE when I’ve lived, breathed and sweated in it over the last 4 months!!!!!! 😡
All of our teams are amazing, although I’d like to give a special shout out to our RGH teams, who are working tirelessly under such challenging circumstances. Thank you so so much - simply awesome 👏

Witnessed amazing staff, teamwork and care in difficult circumstances
@CwmTafMorgannwg
Love to see this ❤️ We need to normalise being a parent and having a career. Amazing that
@acutemedicine
is accommodating parents too. Have a great day Amie and Robyn! 💖
We need to normalise parental leave, support them +++ when they return, champion women (&men) with good WLB & normalise flexible working.
@ruthalcolado
and I did a workshop for this with
@RCPWales
& perhaps we need do this in-house for our trainees?
Acute Medicine is just the absolute best specialty.
I held both Reg and Consultant bleeps for most of day (thanks
@EmmaKealaher
for her help after 5).
There is just something so special about the take.

Will hopefully see some of you in the Glam and CTM over the next few years. It’s the best job in the world despite the tough times and my door is always open…
Both sides gather round the centre circle for a minute's applause in celebration of the lives of
