Restarted #transplantation today @StGeorgesTrust. Did our first transplant since lockdown and to our knowledge, the first in London to be done on site. Proud of the team, the hospital and of course our fantastic donors. Onwards and upwards! @richardphull @TotterdellJac @DrRosena

NEW: Hundreds of high school students line the hallways of an Alabama hospital to say goodbye to their classmate as she heads into surgery to become an organ donor.
18-year-old Kimber Mills was shot at a party over the weekend.
Mills was shot in the leg and head, allegedly by 27-year-old Steven Tyler Whitehead, after a fight broke out.
Mills did not know Whitehead, who has since been charged with m*rder and three counts of attempted m*rder.
The high school cheerleader was taken off life support on Tuesday.
"Our sweet baby sister went to be with the Lord at 7:08 last night. She had the biggest gathering for Honor Walk the doc has ever seen," Mills' sister said.
"She was and is so loved by so many. We will miss you, Kimber."
Heartbreaking. RIP.

33 years I’ve been lucky enough to have the same transplanted kidney, that a grieving family so generously donated. Without their generosity I might not be here and I’ll be forever grateful to them for thinking of others at their absolute lowest.
I love you whoever you are.

What more needs to be done to tackle sexual misconduct? Today, we hosted the @wpsms_org summit, to challenge the NHS & regulators to effectively support targets and make reporting easier.
So it's good @NHSEngland has today announced the introduction of anonymous reporting [1/2]

There are currently over 6,000 patients waiting for a kidney transplant. It is so important to tell your loved ones what your wishes are around donating your own organs, in the event of your death.
It can be a difficult and sad conversation to have, but can transform the lives of others.

The moment when this little one, who had been away from her older brother and sister due to cancer treatment, reunites with her siblings. 😭❤️
Never, ever thought I'd have to tell my daughters that because they're brown, they have to be careful outside. I never even had this in 80s and 90s.
And as for 'taking your jobs'. You're welcome trying to do a kidney transplant but not sure how good your outcomes will be ...

16% of women in surgical training reported experiencing unwelcome sexual comments or advances, in the @gmcuk national training survey today. There is considerable work to do to eradicate abhorrent behaviours in our profession.

So many wonderful memories with @ManUtd tied to his legendary voice. So proud of our colleagues @StGeorgesTrust in getting his voice back!
The prospect of losing your voice is frightening – especially when it has made you a living, as in Martin Tyler's case.
This #WorldVoiceDay - and after two operations and speech therapy - he's thanked our "amazing" teams who gave him his voice back.

A legend of transplantation and a pioneer in the UK. A real loss to the medical world. Rest in peace.
