Girl power!

I've spent the morning at the Royal Berkshire hospital - and met everyone at the renal unit. It turned out to be a real morning of girl power. Yes, I know there are wonderful male doctors, nurses, professional fund raisers there - but today I met some remarkably feisty females without whom the Royal Berks would be a lesser place, I reckon!

So best wishes and thanks to ward sister, Jill, and Matron Leo. It was lovely to see them again - today was my third visit. But the award for feistiness must go to an amazing woman who's made it to the top of her lofty professional tree whilst also being a wife and mother of three. She's a consultant oncologist at the hospital but also President of the Royal College of Radiologists, spearheading the "Year of Radiology" which is celebrating 100 years since Marie Curie won her SECOND Nobel prize for pioneering discoveries which led to the whole treatment process. She's Jane Barratt, clearly a fan of Madame Curie.

Listen again to her interview with me this morning - a celebration of girl power!
