Diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis — chronic lung disease — Amy needed a lung transplant in 2022 to survive.

Among the team the brave mum has nominated are staff nurse Rachael McBride, porter Bob Silver, intensive care ward clerk Mark Hazel, transplant unit receptionist Lindsay Weeks, specialist critical care physiotherapist Caroline Briggs, senior physio Gemma Wood, housekeeper Sam Lord and Kirsty Jarvis, the transplant senior sister.

Amy, who spent three months recovering at the hospital in Uxbridge, West London, says: “The doctors and surgeons who did my transplant are amazing but it is the friendly faces you see at every appointment that mean the world.

Katie couldn’t be here 24/7, so knowing I had a family here made everyone less worried about me.”

Staff nurse Rachael says: “When Amy was starting physio she told me she didn’t have anything to wear for it, so on my day off I got her some lounge wear from Primark.”

Porter Bob said: “Amy nominating us for Team of the Year award has made us really emotional.

“She’s an amazing lady and one none of us will ever forget her.”
