OP updates |
Huge congratulations to Surgeon Commander Sam Hutchings (OP 1991 and current parent) who was awarded the OBE in the Queen's birthday honours..
Sam is a Royal Navy Surgeon and was awarded the OBE for setting up a command and control structure to oversee nine intensive care units, from Kings College Hospital London, during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking to Portsmouth News, Sam said "‘I was surprised and a bit embarrassed because I didn’t do anything that hundreds of people didn’t do. It is a team effort and every single person deserves praise."
He has seen service for the RN in submarines, and in Iraq, Afghanistan and Sierra Leone during the Ebola crisis.
