Happy #earthday @unitednations It’s easy to forget just how integral the health of the planet is for our health. Our society has tried its best to separate itself off from nature in the way that we live.

Busy clinical day 👩🏽‍⚕️🩺 Alongside that was the real privilege to meet some lovely patients, who allowed me an insight into their lives and their worries. I try to think about how I would feel if I was in their shoes, or someone I loved - that’s what medicine should be about.

Stories help us to escape the everyday, to take a break from worries and problems, to feel and empathise, to laugh and to imagine. Cinema is amazing - a shared experience and sense of belonging. Lucky to watch @projecthailmary at one of my favourite places @Everymancinema

Clinical day 👩🏻‍⚕️🩺 One of the highlights for me being doctor is learning about someone’s story. We all have similar feelings, thoughts and diagnoses; but the person behind those is an individual who needs to be heard, seen and valued.

Choose differently and things can be different.
