Mark Hudson - Debs Lovell

of 3 local Health/Care centres. Over the following 3 days I took daily lateral ow tests which were all negative so I returned to 'normal' life. Although the cold itself took a few more days to recover completely. No more than a week later I received another PCR test for future use................ Interestingly on April 27th a letter arrived from a Dr Michelle Willicombe from The Imperial College London. This lady is the Chief Investigator of The Melody Study. This is about taking part in an 'COVID 19 in-home antibody testing research'. This study is particularly targeted at those who have received a solid organ transplant, and is looking at the proportion of transplant patients who have made antibodies against COVID 19. This is a voluntary study and I have been invited to take part. At this moment in time, I have registered to take part and given my consent. I will of course keep you all updated.

Dr Mark Hudson - Retirement

As a patient, I rst met Dr Hudson back in 1995 or earlier. He has been 'part of my life' for a considerable length of time. But no longer. As many of you will know he has recently retired. Dr Hudson had for many years shown utmost dedication to his patients and career as a liver transplant physician. He was, as I say, a 'human' doctor. He always made time to have a chat when medical things were not going as expected. You could talk to him and he always responded in a caring and understanding manner. Having been a patient of his for at least 27 years I will miss seeing him in clinic and in the hospital. Dr Hudson please be aware that I (and my family) appreciated your kind, personal and understanding manner. You are held in the highest regard possible as far as I am concerned. Thank you from the bottom of my heart because I will never forget how you were over these passed years. Enjoy a long and 'healthy' retirement. You deserve it!

Take Care

Took the words right out of my mouth Debbie. He was loved and respected by so many of his patients being their ‘physician of choice’. We have been in touch with Mark and hope to meet up with him some time soon. (ed)
