A quadruple amputee has issued a powerful thank you letter to the NHS 12 years after doctors not only saved her life but "helped her live it joyfully".

Dr Corrine Hutton MBE, best known as Cor, is the founder of Paisley amputee charity Finding Your Feet and she has released an emotional open letter thanking the NHS for over a decade of life-saving support.

Her care journey has included surviving sepsis in 2013 and undergoing a double hand transplant in 2019.

The letter marks twelve years since Cor was given just a five per cent chance of survival after contracting sepsis.

It reflects on the care she’s received through multiple surgeries, kidney complications, lung loss, and transplant recovery, and the people behind it all.

Timed to coincide with Thank You Day on Sunday, July 7, the letter is a deeply personal expression of gratitude from Cor, one of the UK’s most recognised advocates for people affected by amputation or limb absence.
