TWITTER TAKEOVER!
Hi, I’m @NikkiKF, a GP & NHS England’s Director of Primary Care. 👋
I can't wait to take you on my virtual @LondonMarathon! Over the next 3 days, I'll be sharing regular updates as I walk 60 miles from London to Newbury.
Keep reading to see my route! 🗺 #VLM
My destination: Greenham Common, where my dad spent 6mths in a refugee camp in 1972.
I'm doing this walk for @DOTW_UK, a medical charity that helps refugees & other excluded groups to access healthcare.
Together, we can raise funds & awareness for this great cause!#The40thRace
@DOTW_UK is a medical charity that helps vulnerable people to access healthcare through its:
👩⚕️ UK clinics
📞 National helpline
📢 Advocacy work
🌍 International programmes (as Médecins du Monde)

Did you know - In 2018, @DOTW_UK staff & volunteers supported over 2k patients, while their caseworkers took nearly 13k advice-line calls from people with health access support needs.
Demand for their service is growing.
In 2019, DOTW provided over 2,400 consultations.
FINALLY - the big day 🙌🏽
Setting off soon... didn’t manage to sleep as well as I’d hoped (mainly nerves and listening to this 👇🏽) so any final donations to get me going will be MUCH appreciated!
