Tony is most definitely one of NGH's unsung heroes in my eyes. He is extremely passionate about every aspect of his job, and the care he gives to his patients is second to none. He is a mountain of information in his respiratory speciality role and is always more than happy to share his knowledge to help others to become more proficient in their roles too.

He played a pivotal role during and beyond the recent pandemic and continues to do so. He helped to train many staff in the implementation of NIV for respiratory patients and made sure that patients and their families understood how to use this vital equipment. Since last summer, when I stepped into my new role as Tobacco Treatment Advisor, he has been so very supportive, encouraging, and extremely helpful with anything that we have done to try and make this new service in the Trust as successful as we possibly can.

 He has worked alongside us in a British Thoracic Society QI Project that we enrolled in at the start of the year and has spent many hours of his own time to make our project what it is today. Without him, I honestly think that this service would be in a very different place than it is today.
