Just want to say well done to our teenagers. You sacrificed a lot for us oldies to stay safe. You stayed in for months, missed out on 16,18 parties, proms, festivals, and saying goodbye to your school. Thank you .I’m hoping this u turn will have a positive impact for many of you

Here’s to the next ten years of #VADtherapy , hopefully we can save even more patients in the future @NewcastleHosps
Newcastle's VAD team threw a very special party for Ian Potts from Appleby celebrating 10 years since he was fitted with a life-saving heart pump at #FreemanHospital. “When I come back for my check-ups every 2 months they greet me like an old friend.” bit.ly/2TzIG5v 🎉
