I still find it surreal that, almost a decade-and-a-half after leaving New Zealand, I still get emails to say that I am "owed a payment" for not using all my annual and study leave during the couple of years I worked as a doctor there...

Smiling because the Derm Don, Ian C, is with us today at the Behçet's centre 👍🏻
Skin shenanigans in this disease can include:
- Pseudofolliculitis (acneiform rash)
- Superficial thrombophlebitis
- Erythema Nodosum
(Aphthous ulcers, which is why we have an oral med consultant)

Despite a strong field of candidates for the @rcophth.bsky.social President election, I'm backing Stephen Kaye
His commitment to being a visible, accountable leader who takes action, champions the role of the Ophthalmologist, & fights for SAS doctors & trainee opportunities is key right now

She leaves behind an immense and indelible legacy, pushing ophthalmic research nursing forward, and it was an honour and privilege to have known her.
My sincere thoughts are with all her loved ones, and with the entire CERC and St Paul’s family, during this difficult time.

Dasha meant a great deal to many people. For me personally she offered consistent support, both professionally and on a human level.
I last saw her only a few weeks ago, still working tirelessly and contributing in her own truly superhuman way, despite her illness.

I am very saddened to hear about the passing of the amazing Dasha Koneva.
As well as being a friend to many, Dasha was our inspirational Research Matron at the Clinical Eye Research Centre at St Pauls. She was exceptionally hardworking and dedicated to improving patient care and research outcomes.

I spoke on #Babinski: pithiatism, his break from Charcot’s hysteria model, & the lasting role of suggestion in functional vision loss.
Also learnt about Dr. Knock (1951): “Ça vous chatouille ou ça vous gratouille” – a French lesson in the art of suggestion! 🇫🇷🎭
