Christopher Redman displayed a dedication beyond the call of duty with all his patients on the Silver Star pre-eclampsia ward. He would appear at odd times to check on someone’s progress, or their baby’s, having biked from his home in Oxford.

Christopher kept in touch with Walsall Manor hospital throughout my stay.
