Renfrewshire sepsis survivor pens heartfelt open letter to NHS heroes
Heroic Corrine Hutton's care journey has included surviving sepsis in 2013 and undergoing a double hand transplant in 2019. A quadruple amputee has issued a powerful thank you letter to the NHS 12 years after doctors not only saved her life but 'helped her live it joyfully'. Dr Corrine Hutton MBE, best known as Cor, is the founder of Paisley amputee charity Finding Your Feet and she has released an emotional open letter thanking the NHS for over a decade of life-saving support. Her care journey has included surviving sepsis in 2013 and undergoing a double hand transplant in 2019. The letter marks twelve years since Cor was given just a five per cent chance of survival after contracting sepsis. It reflects on the care she's received through multiple surgeries, kidney complications, lung loss, and transplant recovery ‚ and the people behind it all. Timed to coincide with Thank You Day on Sunday, July 7, the letter is a deeply personal expression of gratitude from Cor, one of the UK's most recognised advocates for people affected by amputation or limb absence. In the open letter to the NHS, the Lochwinnoch mum says: 'The NHS didn't just save my life. You helped me live it — fully, joyfully, and on my own terms. 'I know the NHS isn't perfect but I also know how hard your job is. I've seen it. I've felt it. The pressure. The repetition. The emotional weight of showing up for people who are scared, angry or broken and still doing it with compassion. Every time I thought I'd reached the end, you gave me another beginning.' Since her first operation in 2013, Cor has made it her mission to help amputees and has played her part in Renfrewshire. Her Finding Your Feet charity has been a lifeline for people across Scotland, offering compassion at what is often the loneliest and most frightening time for amputees. Her tireless fundraising, including some incredible physical challenges, means the charity has endured throughout a global pandemic and cost-of-living crisis. Cor's letter is also accompanied by a series of short videos and an invitation to the public to share their own messages of thanks to anyone who's made a difference using the hashtag #WithAllMyHeart. And on why she wrote the letter, the Renfrewshire hero went on to say: 'I think what made me want to write the letter is that the NHS gets a bit of stick. 'I know they're under a lot of pressure. But the service I've had, the care that I've had from the NHS has just been absolutely stunning, right from when I had my sepsis, onto the effects of the sepsis, my amputations, the nursing staff, the consultants that I've had, absolutely brilliant. So, so many people [were] going out their way [to help]. I'm talking about the junior medical staff that washed my hair and stuck a lipstick on me when I needed it, and the senior consultants that are there to answer a question for me, and they're still caring for me. 'I just want to tell the NHS that I'm grateful. I want to say thank you to each and every one of them that's helped me over the years, no matter what your position. 'I couldn't have done it without you. I just honestly wouldn't be here without the NHS. Thank you.'

Hollyoaks confirms twisted Clare Devine scenes as two more villagers pay
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Clare Devine (Gemma Bissix) is determined to get revenge on sworn nemesis Mercedes McQueen (Jennifer Metcalfe) in Hollyoaks a decade on from their fiery feud. Mercedes, as viewers will recall, was instrumental in the events which led to Clare meeting her demise – or so we thought! – in 2013. But flash-forward 12 years and Clare is alive and well, though she'd happily allow us all to think otherwise given that she's faking a cancer diagnosis. Mercedes, who has been battling cancer for over a year, empathised with former enemy Clare upon learning of her alleged diagnosis, with an unexpected heartfelt moment ensuing between the two. The former pub landlady, however, was somewhat short with Clare subsequently when she discovered Bobby Costello (Zak Sutcliffe) hadvanished without a trace. Offended by Mercedes' words, Clare decided it was time she sought revenge on her over their feud a decade ago. The first step of her masterplan included tracking down fugitive Bobby and offering him a lift. Delighted at having achieved her goal, Clare grinned with glee and subsequent scenes will see her locate detective Donny Clark (Louis Emerick), telling a huge lie as she claims that Bobby held her at knifepoint. Who will bring down Clare Devine? Mercedes - she will fume over what she's done to Bobby The teens - as revenge for what she put them through Grace - it will be her shot at redemption as she takes down her evil sister Tom - her one true nemesis who deserves to have his chance at revenge Determined to cause more trouble, the legendary soap schemer heads to the McQueens to informs Mercedes of Bobby's alleged crime, leaving Merce horrified. After well and truly setting the cat among the pigeons, Clare then returns to the remote location where she's harbouring grateful Bobby, who is completely unaware that she's using him as a pawn in a much bigger game. The end goal? To well and truly destroy Mercedes. More Trending However, it turns out that – in addition to lying about cancer, feuding with Sienna Blake (Anna Passey), trying to win back Tori and antagonising Mercedes – Clare is also getting up to no good outside the village, with Jacob and Kat Omari (Ethaniel Davy and Sonia Ibrahim) caught in her dangerous web. Upcoming scenes will see Clare – much like Rex Gallagher (Jony Labey) before her – make it quite clear that Jacob must do as he's told, otherwise Kat (Sonia Ibrahim) will be forced to pay for his mistakes.
