My statement following the tragic loss of life in the Air India crash yesterday. To all the nurses, families, and communities mourning right now—my heart is with you.

Quote reads: I’m shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic loss of lives on the Air India Ahmedabad–Gatwick flight.

Quote reads: As a nurse, I feel particularly affected by the loss of one of our own—a dedicated nurse from Portsmouth who tragically lost her life. The bond we share as nurses makes this loss feel deeply personal. We care for others every day, and when one of us is taken too soon, it leaves a heavy ache in our hearts.
