My colleagues tease me for using pictures of the hills, or my cats, in the talks that I give. But it does mean that I “own” the pictures, and no one has to give consent.

Though to be fair, you can’t identify the patients anyway in this pic of our ward!

Rosie features in a lot of my teaching. She has consented to have her picture shared, though a tin of tuna may have been involved.

Pictures do make slides more interesting, but they don’t need to have people in them.

I do have a few characters that feature in my talks though. They are all named after trees, and their stories are sometimes adapted a little to avoid anyone saying “but that’s MY granny!”

You can meet some of them here:

Some other patients from our #HospitalAtHome service...

I probably need to get out my felt tip pen again to introduce some more people to the ward.

The advantage of not being a good artist is that no one can recognise themselves!

Stories are recognisable too though. Please take care & respect everyone’s dignity & privacy!
