    Tired after another brutal night managing stabbed children. Proud to serve my community in this amazing unit, but wondering how many children have to die before we stop squabbling and invest in youth @NHSBartsHealth @duncanbew @DavidLammy @karlmercer @RossLydall @StGilesTrust

    In reflective mood after collecting my CBE today. Those I owe the most to aren't on this platform. Thanks Mike, Norts, Mr Morgan, T, sis, & mam. It's a long way from Lewisham to Windsor & I wouldn't be here without you @NHSEnglandLDN @NHSEngland @NHSBartsHealth @MyattGarden

    That night we admitted more stabbing victims to paediatric beds than the adult ward. Stop blaming each other and help me fix it!

    Witness what I’ve seen, feel the emotion inequalities evoke, learn from those who inspire and challenge, and understand that I had no choice but to engage & empower. Achievement is always because rather than despite. I pledge to do more with more for all. #QueensBirthdayHonours

    This isn't what I see. The victims of serious youth violence aren't gang members or DJs. They're frightened young men who got stabbed and shot by other frightened young men wedded to a caricature of the male role belief system that we're too scared as a society to challenge.
    A sad and sorry state of affairs which those of us who have been on the front line in our major trauma centres @NHSBartsHealth @StGeorgesTrust @ImperialNHS are all to aware of. Great leadership and perseverance from @martinpgriff @duncanbew @Tomkonig among others. #greattrainers
