Brian supervised my undergraduate dissertation and encouraged me to undertake a PhD, which I did with a funded fellowship, supported by Brian, Alison Richardson, Dame Jennifer, and Dame Sarah Cowley. Through the European Wound Management Association Bria opened up opportunities for conference presentations and publications. My undergraduate and post doc work involved case studies of patients with malignant fungating wounds. These wounds, and the patients' circumstances, were distressing and challenging. Brian frequently offered me his kettle for a hot drink accompanied by a chat, a tacit acknowledgement and sharing of sensitive information. I owe Brian so much. Don and I really enjoyed his company on many occasions and we both send Karen and Claire our sincere condolences.
