Glasgow doctor in 17-hour walk to make 'intimidating' operating theatre welcoming for kids

A doctor at Glasgow Children's Hospital is today (June 21) walking from sunrise to sunset in a bid to raise money to make operating theatres less 'intimidating' for little ones.

Dr Alyson Walker, a cardiac anaesthetist, set off from her Scotstoun home at the crack of dawn and will be walking until sunset - for approximately 17-and-a-half hours on the longest day of the year.

Monies raised will be invested into transforming the theatre environment into "one filled with love and empathy", Dr Walker said.
