    Happy fur-sday from Daisy the spaniel who visited her owner, Richard, in ICU during his recovery from cardiac surgery 🐾 Daisy is the first pet to visit ICU at Royal Brompton since the start of Covid and staff said she 'worked miracles' in lifting moods for everyone on the ward.

    We were thrilled to see one of our longest Covid-19 patients discharged recently. Tansferred from @LNWH_NHS, Sam went home to his family in time for his son's birthday. Some of our intensive care and respiratory colleagues who treated Sam stopped by to say goodbye & share a laugh
