We at Limbs & Things are deeply saddened to learn of Professor Tim Draycott’s passing. Tim worked closely with us for many years, most notably in the development of our PROMPT Flex Birthing Simulator which is used to deliver the renowned PROMPT training programme for which Tim helped pioneer.
He leaves behind a legacy that we are honoured to have been a part of. His outstanding work in research for intrapartum safety has led to life saving changes for mothers and babies around the word.
Over the years, many of our colleagues have gotten to know Tim both for the inspirational leader he was but also as a friend. Nick Gerolemou, Product Manager, fondly reflects on their time spent together.
“I’ve known and worked with Tim since the late 90’s, and in that time, I have learned so much about him as a person. I remember him becoming a consultant obstetrician at the age of 36, the youngest in the country at that time. In 2004, I was so very happy to have him deliver my first child, my daughter Elia. A truly magical moment and being next to his side seeing him practice what he preached was amazing.
Tim will be sorely missed; I can’t believe he has gone; he was such an inspiration and motivation to us all.”
Tim’s expertise and hard work have proven to be invaluable in the pursuit of improved patient safety, and we are sincerely thankful that we had the opportunity to work alongside him to achieve this goal.
Our condolences are with Tim’s family, friends and colleagues at this difficult time.
