“A fellowship with Retrieve has challenged me to become comfortable in dealing with critically unwell people outside of the relative safety of the hospital environment. I have especially enjoyed the close team working needed within a small team, ensuring patient safety and high-level care could be delivered in a variety of locations and scenarios. I’ve enjoyed the variety of cases I’ve been involved with, and the unique challenges the geography of the South West Peninsula has towards transfer timelines and the extended reach you work at whilst transferring a patient. This placement has given me more confidence for my future roles and stepping up to consultant working.”
Surgeon Lieutenant-Commander William Francis-Smith, ST6 Anaesthetics
