Nominated by: Matthew Philpott I probably would have quit medicine if it wasn’t for all her time and guidance. For me personally, she has helped me hugely during very difficult and dark times during my FRCS examinations during the pandemic. She has steered us through these most challenging times. This is not only because she is an excellent and inspirational trainer, but just before the pandemic she stepped up to be TPD at very short notice and then the pandemic hit.

I’m not sure I’d be where I am now without her support and inspiration at such a pivotal time.' Nominated by: Rebecca Fish She was also the first less than full-time trainee with children that I’d ever met, showing me it was possible to be a mum and a surgeon and be happy. She was and I’m sure still is a fantastic surgeon and trainer. At the time I was struggling and beginning to doubt whether I was “cut out” for a career in surgery. It was in the middle of the modernising medical careers shake-up and I was one of the hundreds vying for an ST3 post in very uncertain circumstances.

She is a breast surgeon that opens doors to new doctors in the specialty, with exemplary dedication in her work.'

Nominated by: Jingjing Wang Emily Bairdįiona MacNeill 'In the years that I've known her, she has shown an honest interest in teaching doctors and being close to mentor them to their success. Emily Baird 'She continues to be a shining example that a good work-life balance is not merely a pipe dream for surgeons.
