‘You know who you are and I will never be able to repay you) got me to St Mary’s Hospital Paddington, where I was whisked through the extraordinary A&E department by the gorgeous paramedics, doctors, nurses, domestic and administrative staff, all of whom made to feel so welcome and comfortable and safe.

‘As it turned out, I had a tibial plateau fracture (more commonly known as bike leg) and needed an operation. 

‘St Mary’s is one of the best trauma centres on planet earth and so, naturally, there were lots of poor people with injuries far graver than mine queuing up for operations that needed doing quickly, which meant my mangled knee would have to wait a little bit before getting patched up.

‘And so it was that I ended up spending the most wonderful, inspiring, insightful, love-filled fortnight on St Mary’s Valentine Ellis and Zachary Cope wards, waiting for my surgery! 

‘As I say in my thank you card on slide 18, I have never been treated with such kindness, care, respect, sensitivity and love. 

‘Nor have I ever seen such professionalism and compᴀssion shown so consistently by anyone to everyone, ever. 

‘During my two weeks with you I witnessed selflessness and charity and generosity of spirit the like of which one never sees these days. Behaviour rarer than magic.

‘Thank God for @nhsengland @nhsenglandldn. As far as I’m concerned the NHS is the greatest insтιтution ever invented and should be supported, protected and celebrated at all costs. Forever.
