Dr William O’Rourke

Nominated for Paediatric Junior Hero (ST1-4s, FTs, GPST and Trust SHOs)

Has been working at Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust – EASTERN

Will is a GP trainee who has been working on Bramble, and what a shame we had not managed to convert him to paeds! He is one of the loveliest doctors I have had the joy of working with, as well as being a fantastic clinician with excellent clinical skills. Will has excellent rapport with staff, patients and their families. When he was on, you knew that you had someone on you could trust with anything and knew you could trust his clinical judgement. He fills you with confidence, and you know any decisions made are well thought through, he is was a valued member of the team and a real team player. Will is going to make an excellent GP!

Will is an excellent GP trainee and I am sad that we could not convince him into a career in paediatrics. He is always cheerful, a team player and hard working. He has lovely communication with patients and families. He also was always keen to gain more skills and learn more, his passion for oncology and interest in supporting the oncology team always shone through during his rotation.
