Jeremy Crane

The task of communicating the nation’s healthcare fell to a Jewish surgeon from London this week, after rotating control of the NHS Twitter passed to a new master.

Transplant and Vascular Surgeon Jeremy Crane, who works for Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and spends most of his time at Hammersmith Hospital, took time out from Twitter stardom to speak to Jewish News on Tuesday – his second day on the new job.

“It’s exhausting,” said the senior consultant. “I didn’t realise Twitter could be so tiring. But it’s tiring in a lovely way. I didn’t really grasp how powerful it is. You say something and you can really get people going, even the mildest thing.”
